I did love the episode where the Crane men and Roz all went to the cabin in the mountains. Niles wanted Daphne, Roz wanted Donny, Niles and Roz pretended to be a couple and it was a whole series of crazy misunderstandings. It was just like a play. That is my all time favorite Frasier episode, followed closely by the radio play. Just non-stop belly laughs. :rofl:
