I liked this episode, Jan 29, 2010

Reviewer: Chris Dee from Roehampton, London, England

This episode may not be the best, but it is certainly not the worst. My criteria for judging any episode of Frasier is does it make me laugh. This episode made me laugh when Frasier was sitting on the couch with Roz and he had to come up quickly with an answer, as Roger, from Roz's family concerning what he did for a living, great line. Many smiles and some tender moments.

Not the Best, But not this bad, Jul 12, 2007

Reviewer: Jen from Dallas, TX, USA

This episode really did rather disappoint me if you were going to do something as crazy as put Frasier and Roz in bed together. But, I think the reviews are quite harsh.

While the first half of the episode lacks humor and is rather dull, it is very heartwarming to see Frasier travel to see Roz and be a true friend. Take a potentially friendship ending situation, and not run from it, but save the day for Roz in front of her family.

When they sit on the porch, you really get an idea of what their friendship is. Something that not even that big of a mistake could ruin.

However, even the heartwarming part of the story cannot make up for the lacking plot of Niles, and I was disappointed to not get any flash references to the vacation with Daphne and mom which could have injected much needed humor.

Overall, a lesser episode, but not one of the three worst.

Review of 'The Guilt Trippers', Jul 28, 2006

Reviewer: Beer Necessity from York, England

Completing a hat-trick of stinkers, this episode takes the Frasier/Roz relationship somewhere it should never have gone – into the bedroom. Mild amusement is provided by the argument between Roz’s sister and her husband, but that really is clutching at straws. A very poor episode which highlights just how bereft of ideas the season 8 to 10 writing team were.

'The Guilt Trippers' review, Sep 23, 2005

Reviewer: Jocelyn from London, UK

After teases in earlier episodes such as 'Frasier Loves Roz' and 'Hot Pursuit', this episode finally takes Frasier and Roz's relationship to another level when, following a night alone together in Frasier's apartment, the pair wake up next morning to find themselves in bed together. Such a drastic move is something that should only be attempted in a particularly good episode, so it's disappointing that this should prove so dull and low in humour, with Martin's way of revealing that he knows Roz stayed the night providing the only really big laugh. Frasier's decision to follow Roz to her family home in Winsconsin is a nice idea but proves rather dull, with Frasier pretending to be Roger in front of the other family members. Niles' storyline is rather better if no funnier with a good, if very brief, ending that sees him coming face to face with Daphne's father, Harry, when he travels to Manchester in an attempt to reconcile Daphne's parents. Generally though, I found the whole Frasier/Roz plot a bit desperate, as if the producers were having to resort to such a storyline in order to boost ratings and as such, I found the episode a rather depressing viewing experience.
