[@DanielWright-np3fq]

Anyone remember back to he and Lilith guesting on Wings with their travelling psychiatric roadshow, "The Crane Train to Mental Health", complete with engineer's cap and train whistle? Frasier has always leaned hilariously into the theatric and money-making ventures. I love this show.

In one Frasier episode, he alluded to Frasier's advice as being "McAdvice" or similar. I think that Niles would be quite cross with Frasier. This is one of the first of the new episodes of Frasier that I have seen.

[@ybergik]

@@UKImmigrationLawGeek"Two minute McSessions." I've been trying to find something funny and something to like about this show, but so far the writing has been subpar and the jokes forced and predictable. I miss the the deadpan delivery and response of Niles.

[@SairajRKamath]

I really liked this episode. Much better than the first one. Shows really need time to find their legs, which is difficult in the streaming era.

[@alexlazebat839]

i agree the first 2 were intro eps

[@scarpergirl]

Seeing these clips made me wonder why this sequel series wasn't all surrounding his TV show, dipping in and out like we did at KACL

[@stephieirene1]

I'm surprised Frasier hasn't written any academic papers. I thought he would have before he went to Seattle.

[@WaltherPPK007]

Yeah that was weird I’m pretty sure in the original show he wrote a bunch of academic papers and he mentions to Martin while Nile’s is having a panic attack “Lilith got the other half of them in the divorce” weird oversight

[@samf.s.7731]

Full time working on a TV show... He probably had that as an outlet to express his thoughts 😊 Oh and they really like it when you were published in the last 10 years, because old papers are often considered outdated because new research is always conducted which tends to add to the science in a matter that may contradict or overwrite older perceptions.

[@kristinazubic9669]

He mentioned having written a book and having begun another.

[@trentb3148]

He should have just stayed on that morning show with Bebe.

[@robbchief]

no sarape tho

[@mrcritical6751]

The fact Frasier did this show but went through a full blown morality crisis when he had to do that nut commercial really shows how far he’s fallen

[@mccloaker]

Well apparently it was a subtle, gradual shift.

[@rontwentyone]

Yeah, I just watched the S7 episode Morning Becomes Entertainment again the other night where he co-hosts a tacky TV show with Bebe and you can see this new episode is rooted in it. There, Niles showed him how he'd descended from "legitimate psychiatrist to dancing bear." Olivia says she wants the dancing bear. Also, Frasier dressed up silly outfits, chefs uniform and wearing silly hats was just like the show he briefly hosted and nearly stayed on permanently.

[@lenawagenfuehr53]

So a total retread of old material...with bad writers.

[@MrRandomcommentguy]

"And Tom Arnold is here!"

[@ImZiraTheFirst]

I thought it was a ridiculous idea to give Frasier his own show after Cheers. I thought it would fail. Fortunately, I thought wrong. Frasier was extraordinarily funny and brilliant. The writing and cast were superior. When I heard about this Frasier reboot I thought it was a ridiculous idea as well. Once again it looks like I was wrong. 😆

[@ah7910]

Because of a 4 minute clip? Frasier was high concept and had stellar writings. This reboot feels reductive and the writing isn’t as sharp. (Insert “dancing bear” several times more than is funny)

[@samf.s.7731]

​@@ah7910it's a reference to the old show. Niles calls Frasier a dancing bear when he hosts a TV show with Bebe. 😊

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

There's an episode of the original run of Frasier where Bebe nearly leads him down a path similar to this, where he hosts some Breakfast Television show where he does Sean Connery impressions and cooks with chimps. The only thing that stops him from accepting the job is Niles. This was bound to happen eventually.

[@rontwentyone]

This was by the funniest scene in the whole new series, however they missed something here. Just as Frasier obsessively kept cassette tape recording of each of his radio shows, we could have seen here him scrolling through files and files on his laptop to get to the two clips he played in order to demonstrate how he made sure he had a digital copy of each of his TV episodes as well. Alan could have commented on that.

This reminds me a lot of Dr. Phil (who funnily enough guest starred in the original show) who I only ever see get made fun of by tv shows, at one point he was probably seen as a decent psychiatrist but now I think most people just see him as a joke. I have never seen his show except when John Oliver uses it as a punchline. I give Frasier some credit that he decided to quit the show and try to get back to regular psychiatry even though he will be going through a similar situation like Leonard Nimoy.
