Daphne Does Dinner question - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Watched that episode last night, and noticed that it ran for 24 minutes, rather than the 20-21 minutes a Season 10 episode of Frasier normally runs for. Is it edited in syndication?

I must say, that did put a smile on my face, as it took me back to the late 1970s and 1980s, when sitcoms were just that bit longer per episode. Not to mention Daphne Does Dinner was another great episode!

Sometimes they do edit them in syndication which really ticks me off. Not fair if you ask me since I'm sure they showed the entire show when it aired in prime time. But that is a great episode! Didn't notice that it was longer, but that is really cool!

I know Friends had a few longer episodes during it's remaining seasons, I cannot remember if Frasier had the same gimmick or not.

DDD is an eleborate (and expensive) episode. I always watch it in awe of the sets and costumes.
