I thought it was a good one. The Marty episodes always are. Anyone else see it.

I did and I agree with you that this episode was funny. The show definitely rebounded nicely from last week's debacle. IMO

Im sad to say i didnt watch it. i've pretty much given up on frasier...they are running out of ideas and are grabbing bad ones..for example the parking lot episode- that was pathetic. all he did was sit in the lot while the people got annoyed...they need fresh ideas, and if they dont get some soon i doubt frasier will survive 2 more years.

I admit, for the past couple of years I've been forcing myself to watch Frasier. Though certainly not a hardship, I miss the writing they had prior to them changing the personnel a few years ago. I know they were also going to focus more on Frasier which I don't necessarily think is a good strategy. I wish they'd shape up, it's one of the few shows I still look for every week.
It got off to a rocky start this year but I still say give it another chance.

I agree on giving it a second chance, it still is a quality sitcom. I do think it has suffered a little bit, perhaps because of the tragic death of David Angell.

As a UK fan, I haven't seen any of the current season yet, but I have to say after reading these comments I am getting rather worried.

I remember that during the time of Season 5 (probably it's peak IMO) many of the critical reviews for the show went something along the lines of... "Like a fine wine, 'Fraiser' only gets better with age".

Notice how there are no reviews like that these days?

I am sorry to say that I have not any of these episodes that good this season. It just seems that they are running out of ideas and it is becoming more obvious that David Angell was the best writer for Frasier. I think they can save the show by working on better quality scripts. They good also bring in Glen and Les Charles to write since they did so well on Cheers. Lastly they could bring in a new character, or an old character from Cheers, just my two cents. :-)

I dunno i dont think they shud bring a cheers character on. IMO that would really show how desperate they were...
