David was amazingly good on the show. He works well with everyone on the show. David as Niles was the perfect choice. I can't think of a show that had so many funny and great characters. Cheers was a really great show but Frasier was greater. It is rare that a spinoff can be just as good or even better. I guess that's why they want to bring back the show.

I've been watching this for the first time recently. Currently around S5. The lemon biscuits showed up again in a subplot about a grossly overpriced "Whole Foods" type store. I like little details like that, especially from an era when TV was very episodic and writers tended to assume viewers wouldn't watch and re-watch episodes and record every minor detail. (The opposite of today's "peak TV", where it's assumed viewers freeze-frame their way through shows looking for Easter eggs or clues.)

I think that's an intentional part of the joke, at least I hope it is and I'm not giving them to much credit.

[@isalabells]

I sincerely hope so, too. I always thought making it look extremely campy was a deliberate choice bc they very well knew it'd be impossibe to recreate the early seasons feeling in a somewhat realistic way -- both look-wise and acting wise. I mean honestly, S1 Niles would never made the "There are the merry new bachelors in their swinging new pad" entrance speech, especially not the way he does here. Articulation and enunciation are all wrong, that's late-season Niles talking. The acting for the majority of the core cast got a lot more hammy in the last couple of seasons. So yeah, bottom line, I'm willing to give them credit for this being an intentional part of the joke that probably saved this ep from becoming really awkward had they tried for a sincere approach.

[@thisbandreallystix]

"Dear God, it looks like someone melted down a highway cone." Lol.

[@nowandaround312]

This is from the filler flashback episode they did at the end of the final season. I don't consider it the true "firsts", they wrote it based on what had already happened, such as making Kenny the pizza guy who Frasier snubs, putting in jokes just for fans (I doubt very much Frasier ever thought Roz has a hard time meeting men) and they really messed up the continuity. I'm a huge Frasier fan who grew up watching the show and has way too much time on their hands. In other words, prepare for an essay XD. This might be interesting to fellow fans who don't know or remember much about the show. Niles and Daphne met in season 1 in Dinner At Eight, and then that same day the boys went out to dinner, and Daphne definitely did not forget his name. Yet in this scene, in which Niles and Daphne appear to meet for the 2nd time, Frasier has a dinner party and everything is set as though it happened much earlier. Daphne acts like she doesn't remember who Niles is, yet she heard his name many times and remembered it before on the day they met, so it's strange she would act like she's having to recall it. At the time they met, Frasier had known Roz for months so him inviting her over and claiming to know nothing about her life is also strange and breaks continuity. Interestingly, in this scene, Martin is a rude ass (he describes his pizza as having "12 delicious toppings, and not one of them _duck_"), seemingly for the sake of being one (he _likes_ duck, he made Frasier attempt to kill and eat one in a later season) yet in the original storyline, he was willing to go to their fancy pretentious restaurant and when they lose the reservation, he convinces them to go to his choice, the laid-back Timbermill. Frasier & Niles are understandably upset when they arrive wearing expensive ties and have them unceremoniously cut off as a "tradition", and are understandably horrified when they bring raw steaks around uncovered on a wagon asking them to choose, but then they act like real snobby assholes, mocking the food and the waitress. It set the tone for us to mostly accept Martin's behavior (although he gets pretty melodramatic in that scene - "when you insult this restaurant, you insult ME!") because we see that they're not simply cultured intelligent men who like art, they also look down on people and judge based on how much money someone makes. If you want to see when Daphne and Niles originally met, watch Dinner At Eight. That scene was much funnier than this one, and although Niles is clearly taken by her, he doesn't act like a creep the whole time like he does here. "You're Daphne?" "Why yes I am!" "When Frasier told me he hired an English woman, I pictured someone a little more...not quite so...you're Daphne?" And of course the classic Frasier line, "She's psychic. We've decided to find it charming." That's also why Daphne has on that awful wig here, which looks nothing like her hair did back then. It was a flashback and they had to do about 8 different hairstyles in one episode, so Daphne and Roz were given a lot of wigs, all of which were obvious and hideous, and David Hyde Pierce was given a piece as well (he was pretty bald by that point). And that is everything you never needed to know about this video lol.

[@Dannys99887]

+Privacy Lover That's an excellent analysis.I'm amazed that Jane Levees in a late episode flashback could......or would......go back to playing Daphne as she was when she was actually funny. The late series character of Daphne (as I said in an earlier comment) as the wife of Niles was a fashionably dressed, self-assured, sharp tongued wealthy doctor's wife who was not only not funny, but not even very likable. Speaking of character development, it's a good thing that the producers and writers quickly eliminated the hateful manner in which John Mahoney played Martin in the pilot and early episodes. The early hostility between Martin and Frasier was very unpleasant and not funny.

[@punnedit3620]

I was thinking that if this was a flashback getting some things wrong is actually appropriate. If you think about it, our memories aren't perfect and we tend to gloss over some things and magnify others. This could very well be how they remember it.

+Lucy Hunt Amazing how the early episodes of a long running series can look strange. Until reading your comment, I didn't recognize that the pizza delivery boy was Kenny the future manager of the radio station. It's shocking to hear Frasier offering Scotch instead of Sherry to Niles. And there's a reminder of how the character of Daphne as played by Jane Levees developed over the run of the show......and not in a good way. The early Daphne dressed funny, talked funny, and WAS funny. Daphne by the time she married Niles was played as a fashionably dressed, self assured, sharp tongued wealthy doctor's wife who not only wasn't funny anymore, but not even very likable. The writers never knew what to do with the marriage of Niles and Daphne to make it funny. It was mostly just boring.

Anyway, in that episode they didn't even change Frasier and Roz's CLOTHES from the opening scene before the flashback begins, let alone their hair!! Good episode but poor effort at costume and hair.
