Frasier W. Crane · 12-03-2003, 07:48 PM

Niles takes offense when Martin suggests that his son never had a rebellious stage as a child. Unfortunately, Niles' attempt to prove that he has a wild side backfires and leaves Martin dazed and confused. Meanwhile, Frasier is coping with the fact that his son Freddy has gone goth and would rather hang out with his friends than spend time with his dad. Elsewhere, Eddie stars in a promo spot for Seattle and Roz is dating a hunky mall Santa.

Brian Damage · 12-05-2003, 11:45 AM

Interesting

barwars · 12-05-2003, 05:00 PM

Thats 1, 2, 4 storylines in there!
I wonder how itll work.

Frasier + Christmas = always good.

smokeypeach · 12-06-2003, 02:42 PM

i cant wait to see that freddy...goth o thats funny

Ria · 12-07-2003, 11:37 PM

I just saw the commercial--Freddie's never looked better! (Kidding. . .)

Steve M. · 12-09-2003, 10:56 PM

Loved watching Martin tripping out! Freddy looked like Alice Cooper - no more Mister Nice Guy, eh?

The subplot involving Roz got lost in the shuffle, sorry to say.

Valma · 12-09-2003, 11:44 PM

This one was a total hooooot!! Loved every minute of it. :-)
It was so jammed packed with laughs and lines I have to say I didn't really miss Roz's story about the Santa (I thought she did great with her "Niles' drug connection" role anyway). I don't think the story structure could have withstood another "plot". They made a wise decision in dropping it. This one is going on my favourite's list for the season! :-))

I liked this ep. Very funny. And the decorations looked great!

barwars · 12-10-2003, 04:23 PM

One of the best.

Brian Damage · 12-10-2003, 07:09 PM

It was absolutely hysterical seeing Martin stoned.

Frasier W. Crane · 12-10-2003, 10:19 PM

This episode was insanely good! Maybe even the best of the season! SOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY AND FULL OF GENIOUS COMEDY! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I wanna see it again!!!!!!

cablejockey · 12-11-2003, 03:56 PM

I loved this episode, watching Martin freak when he turned on the tv and Eddy was doing that commercial, was the best moment. And the apartment looked really good this year decorated for christmas.

pilotguy · 12-14-2003, 01:18 AM

OK, I KNOW that I'm going to get heat for this, because everybody seems to have loved this episode, BUT....

I WILL admit that Martin getting stoned on a pot-laced brownie WAS funny, but that whole "Eating Niles' Pot Brownie And Then Replacing It With A Regular One" gag seemed kind of cheap to me.

"Frasier" has always been a show with superior writing, and to resort to that old bit of "switcheroo" farce just seemed beneath the series.

True, it was funny....but for some reason "Frasier" has always seemed to be above that kind of silly humor.

cablejockey · 12-14-2003, 09:39 AM

I agree that using that old sitcome device of switching the brownies, was beneath the usually quality of the show. I guess with this being the last season, they get a bit lax now and then.
