The Best of Niles Crane Season 1

[@lisarussell3678]

The casting of these two as brothers was genius.

[@raggededge82]

I believe what got him noticed was how much he resembled Kelsey Grammer, so much that they created the role for him. Stroke of genius for sure - he was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Emmy eleven straight years.

[@17Watman]

@@raggededge82 That was what helped get him hired. They described Niles as “What Frasier would’ve been like if he never meet the people at Cheers.”

[@sidoniemany2339]

My thoughts exactly when I first laid eyes on this show.

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

@@raggededge82 they made the right choice for Frasier(Kelsey) and Niles(David)

[@amiblueful]

The casting all around was perfect. I work with a guy who's just like Martin Crane. It always makes me giggle.

[@libertygiveme1987]

WOW!!!! The writing for this show was JUST EXCEPTIONAL!!!!

[@ellet4103]

I think that this was probably my favorite TV show of all time.

[@Vejur9000]

Yup. They had to do gymnastics to do this dialogue. Brilliant work.

[@renatababcock7500]

Fantastic! I would have included the one where he says "I have my sex addiction seminar and I don't like leaving them alone too long."

[@MsJoyce31202]

👍

[@Iceferno]

Niles. The original Sheldon Cooper... except likeable.

[@cockoffgewgle4993]

And funny.

At least still Niles had class

[@wjmcd703]

"Did I mention nuts?" "Oh, I think that's implied." Hilarious bit. Why can't there be more shows like this where the humor is witty but intelligent?

[@Jinx1349]

That take's talent, something hollywierd does not have anymore.

[@mattywho8485]

Because today's viewers are neither witty or intelligent (have you seen "Love after lockup" ??... neither have I)

[@Actingskint]

wjmcd703 It’s due to several reasons combined . Profits . Productions companies like profit , so pander to the masses of wannabe zelebrities . This produces such dross as Real house wives of somewhere , big brother , zelebrities on ice , dancing , in the jungle ext etc etc . People these days prefer to be sat ,stating at their phone instead of reading books . So attention spans are reducing , knock on people don’t want to have to work hard to watch any sort of shows that they need to engage their brains in . Pc has bit so hard people are scared to invest time and effort into anything which could be a bit edgy .So this again has the production companies lazily opting to recommission some old reality shit . So once there were multiple frames being shot, a pace for actors and writers alike to hone their craft . Now these slots are filled with people famous for being .................... famous

[@Sami-yh5nh]

@Kenneth Boyer has nothing to do with PC. The writers just don't care anymore.

A gesture whic becomes less significant with each passing year. Niles is such a wonderful combination of snarky, vulnerable, ineffectual, and neurotic! Love this show!

Christie Michel that's my all time favorite line!

ONLY Niles ....

[@shadowbear66]

Wow that's a great line how did you ever come up with that?

[@hpa2005]

Niles: "Although, technically, is it still an eye patch if your wearing it on your...." Frasier: "STOP!!"

[@louisericketts6738]

Brilliant writers on this show. Some of the lines are worthy of Noel Coward or Oscar Wilde.

[@MScorpioM]

"Stop staring!" "I wasn't staring." I almost died 😂😂😂

[@trnigyul]

Frasier: Niles I would shave my head for you Niles: a gesture that becomes less significant with each passing year. Me:💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@kayrobz7183]

LOL. Niles is hilarious! "Frasier" is one of my favourite comedy shows.

[@elizabetharmada4038]

Me too. Still watching re runs here in Australia.

[@catherinerobilliard7662]

Fraiser was voted No.1 comedy show in the UK, and you can understand why we did.

[@WittyUsernamehere]

"Has a Young woman been in here this evening, approximately 5 foot 9' 3/4 with skin the colour of Devonshire cream and the sort of eyes that gaze directly into one's soul with neither artifice nor evasion?"

“Frasier, you’re my brother. That entitles you to my bone marrow and _one_ of my kidneys but *this* is an imposition!”

[@partyguy101ify]

Technically, Niles could also donate skin, a lung, a lobe of his liver, or part of his pancreas or intestines. I wish the writers had drawn all that out to make the imposition worse. 😂

[@patriciabyrne5089]

I love how he changed his mind the minute Daphne said she was going too.

[@vaunmalone3064]

We pushed our beds together that night... Now that was funny and so revealing 😂😂but the lines were epic throughout the Series!

[@ThisCharmingMan1984]

My favourite part of that bit is his follow up line, when Niles says: “And that was no mean feat - her room, as you know, is across the hall” Along with its countless other quality attributes, Frasier has, without a shadow of a doubt, some of the greatest writing in sitcom history. 😀 All the best. 👍😀

[@HelloMyNamelsBanana]

omg I watched this because my name is Niles, so I wanted to see how it would feel like to hear someone say my name on TV. LMAO this is so hilarious XD

[@DrMattPhillips]

I was under the impression your name was "Banana"..

Haha! .... Niles' comment sounds just like something Niles would say, and the good doctor's response sounds just like how Frasier would respond. :)

To borrow a quote from Kevin James's Doug Heffernan, Maris Crane is "one sesame seed away from living in a plastic bubble". LOL!

Watch an episode of this then the Big Bang Theory. You will see that fourth graders attempted to copy Frasier and did all they could but they are, after all, only fourth graders. I have never made it through an entire episode of BBT. My brain simply refuses to watch after 30 seconds.

He hates his clients. . . No show at the fear of abandonment work shop, unloading tickets on compulsive spenders. 😂

Funniest Niles comment (paraphrase) Nile’s said to Roz, “I’ll call you.” “Do you have my number?” Roz replied. “I was going to toss a pentagram on the floor and chant your name three times.”

[@Alex-jg2bc]

I remember being in kindergarten and early elementary school and watching this (but not understanding many of the jokes at the time) when home sick because nothing else was on the television. I always had a crush on Niles and looking back at this, no wonder I’m so sassy/sarcastic.

[@deusimperator]

Chateauneuf du Pape is few kosher wines out there. Pectic enzymes are added to most wines but not to Chateauneuf du Pape. Pectic enzymes are not kosher. These are excellent wines from the southern Rhone region from the Pope's former vineyards in Avignon in France. Since sacramental wine is supposed to be kosher these can be also used in Catholic liturgies as well. If your usual wines are Cabernet Sauvignon or a Merlot this is a much more robust and bolder wine.

[@katg109]

Thank you for the explanation. I didn’t know if he was speaking about a wine or having a stroke! All jokes aside I’m terribly unversed about wines. Drink very little so what i do drink is from Walgreens. Usually whatever Riesling is on sale. I’ve discovered it’s sweeter but not kool aide. Any other advise? I realize your response is a year old so my apologies. Take care

Good collection. 2 parts that isnt in this but i consider to be showing Niles in his most comic light both from Travels with Martin: 1) Niles: This is my final word, 'I'm not going.' Marin: Hey good news Daphne's coming to. Niles: And so am I! 2) Niles: Frasier don't snap at her, you're a psychiatrist you should be in better control of your emotions. Oh my God we're at the border I can see the line of cars!!! DHP is fabulous as Niles!!!!!!
