Niles' Proposal

[@jrsindone]

It so nice seeing Niles go from in season 1 not remember Roz's name, to having enough respect for her by the end of the series to read something as intimate as a proposal letter. That some serious growth and character development, love this show.

[@heatherinparis]

Most people think that Kelsey Grammar Is the star of Frasier but for me the star is David Hyde Pierce's character, Niles. So much talent in such a sweet package

[@whatsit177]

The essence of being the star is one that respects the costars and brings out the best in them .. Carol Burnett was like that

[@athenarockabilly6245]

I agree

[@francismallard5892]

The most successful stars don’t hog the limelight and instead surround themselves with the best supporting cast possible. Jack Benny did this: he was the star of the show, but always the butt of the jokes. This allowed his costars to shine

[@Time.and.Spoons]

I've always adored miles

[@SheriSoltes]

Prefer Fraser fully clothed.

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

Season 1 Niles: It’s at times like these I wish I knew how to cry. Season 9 Niles: Crying over how much Daphne means to him.

[@junerose-sommer5494]

An absolutely outstanding series!! Brilliant actors! I have a real soft spot for Niles!!

[@raymondsolisjr.1262]

The way he actually asks her was perfect. Daphne was sick and not at her best, but yet it was the perfect situation

[@seanstevenson7533]

"A more sprightly iambic" Hahahaha classic Niles

[@docette2015]

Awwwwwww -- Niles just wants to make it absolutely perfect, and Roz -- just wants it. Again, nice to see them being friends after the vitriol between them in earlier seasons.

[@jesseward4115]

I really wish the show ended with Fraiser and Roz getting together. They had such great chemistry.

[@MScorpioM]

@@jesseward4115 agreed, considering they already knew each other from years of working together at the station, and each having failed relationships of their own. But I suppose it would've been too obvious.

[@NoPowerintheVerse]

Jesse Ward they did have amazing Chemistry and it would have been fine if they had gotten together but I always preferred them as friends. I just felt like the way they interacted with each other was prefect on a friend level and would have gotten messed up if they became more. But I think it easily could have gone that way.

[@kendallrivers1119]

​@@jesseward4115NO way they wouldn't work as anything besides friends. Also it's refreshing seeing a man and woman being just friends on TV. You never see that.

[@kittygrimm7301]

I love when Niles offers Roz a tissue in the end. What a sweetheart!

[@TDL-xg5nn]

Yeah, leaves his wife after 3 days for a woman who left her fiance at the altar. Such a sweetheart!

[@susyward6978]

A tissue? That man doesn’t own a tissue. Handkerchief please

[@WittyUsernamehere]

Last time I got all the way through it, I got dehydrated.

[@lorraineaylward8167]

I love this. We never hear the actual proposal. We get Roz's reaction and Niles resistance to her editing it. Great.

[@PersonaIncognito]

Aka saying "stet!" to an editor

[@wendyshell8679]

What a bunch of incredibly talented actors!

[@263Adder]

Aww. It's a shame I can't find the actual proposal on here - I wanted to see Frasier tackle the musician again :D

[@tennisKarla]

[@DakNJaxter]

That's exactly how I got here.

[@patriciabyrne5089]

According to another poster Perri had said when it came to the actual scene David handed her a written proposal he had composed himself. In rehearsel it has been blank paper but for the filming he had gone to the trouble of writing out a proposal to make it more authentic.

[@BooksbyAFoster]

How truly beautiful... He plays the character as his own... Which is so very true... Not far from the real man... Wonderful...

[@treavam5653]

Awesome

[@frankenviews4069]

Ros and Niles getting together would have made Fraiser's head explode. Which kind of happened in the "Decoys" episode.

[@crivket1233]

Niles is too great to be real BUT wouldnt it be nice!?!!

[@edwardtan9397]

Can I be the Niles here and point out that "now my life has meaning" is trochaic, not iambic?

[@louisericketts6738]

I love that somebody knows that.

[@danbytp]

Sounded like Shakespeareic iambic.I might be wrong, but either way it's good.

[@user-nf1ti7zh4j]

Edward Tan I'd be insulted if you didn't.

[@oz_jones]

Nerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd. :D

[@danbytp]

@@oz_jones Why thank you, how kind of you to notice.😁

[@stevenj9970]

Truly one of the best shows ever on television. Each actor bringing tremendous ability to the parts. Amazing writing. And the longest love story in television history

[@jenpeterson3712]

Niles and Roz had stopped their little banter by then. Great to see their friendship evolve.❤️❤️

[@anneoneill280]

Niles is such an excellent physical comedian and actor!

[@filmfangirls9163]

Its so beautiful to me that later he proposed to Daphne while she was sick. And the fact she said yes. It shows it doesnt have to be this perfectly planned moment. When you love them, any moment is the best moment.

[@kyon813]

Then Frasier tackles the trumpeter.

[@lpg8518]

Weddings, whether the speech is long or short, are still so emotional. Roz made it short, simple and beautiful and still my eyes filled up with tears, great acting both of them.

[@sallydaniel1023]

I know just how Roz feels

[@kichigan1]

I love Roz. I would have loved to propose to her...

[@lizclegg7556]

Roz is definitely the nicest and coolest character - the others didn't really deserve her. She was also the most attractive.

[@SiNCry0]

God I love David!

[@pennyburns4425]

They are all stars and compliment each other beautifully!

[@naturalkinkycurlymarie7496]

I like them better as friends. I didn't like their relationship in the earlier Seasons.

[@youbringlightin]

I'd have been down on one knee to Roz in a split second *sigh*

[@drtmuir]

I always thought it was great that these two ended up as friends.

[@acheface]

Gotta be said... Roz is a hottie. Rarrrrr.

[@ivx8345]

I always found her looking like a transvestite

[@acheface]

@@ivx8345 Then might I suggest good, strong prescription lenses...

[@acheface]

@@ivx8345 3 years late replying but... You really need to change your circle of friends.

[@AR-nt3cw]

I love how when he finally does propose, he essentially takes Rozs advice. It is simply and perfect.

[@tomtomtomato1]

Niles strength to iron out those tears on command is admirable lol

[@marierankin1688]

Would have loved to have had Martin in this scene

[@transgirltalks1140]

Love this scene and yet the crusty nose proposal still makes me cry

[@The_Notorious_N.O.E.]

Where are these coffee houses that bring you your coffee right to your table? Maybe it's a Seattle thing and I'm just used to McStarbucks 🤷‍♂️

[@RandomPlayIist]

It's not a Seattle thing, it's a real cafe/coffee house thing. Don't go to the super chains.

[@dreed100]

yep. what Mr Playlist said. avoid starbucks. go and get a proper coffee from proper coffee shop

[@louisericketts6738]

Even at Starbucks they will bring it to your table if you have a mobility problem. Pity the coffee is so vile.
