The Friend episode of Frasier doesn't sit well with fans
In Season 3, Episode 11 ("The Friend"), Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) attempts to ditch his new friend Bob (Griffin Dunne), who he finds annoying. However, Bob is in a wheelchair, and Frasier is afraid that Bob will blame their incompatibility on his wheelchair. He avoids Bob at all costs until he finally breaks it off with him and tells him the truth. Bob feels like a jerk, and to make him feel better, Frasier blames the chair instead. Of course, Frasier quickly regrets that decision as well.
In the r/Frasier subreddit, u/14159548210 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/ti9hya/whats_the_most_disliked_episode_of_frasier/) asked which episode fans dislike the most from "Frasier." The title "The Friend" came up more than once, with several individuals expressing their desire to skip the entry when rewatching "Frasier." For example, u/ArchiXJ (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/ti9hya/comment/i1d74q2/) posted a comment that reads, "There are several episodes I skip all the time, the top one being "The Friend." In another comment, u/ontheneedles (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/ti9hya/comment/i1g9h2r/) said they have no love for the episode, and u/danied13 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/ti9hya/comment/i1fghju/) stated that it always gets passed over.
Fans on Reddit aren't the only ones who think the episode isn't very fun to watch. In fact, according to IMDb (https://www.imdb.com/news/ni62851908), "The Friend" is the lowest-rated episode of the third season. Despite being a hit series, not every episode will be a winner, and some will unfortunately not stand the test of time. While many entries of "Frasier" are good enough to earn a spot on our 30 best "Frasier" episodes list (https://www.looper.com/807512/best-frasier-episodes-ranked/), "The Friend" is just one of those skippable chapters that fails to resonate with fans.
