Niles vs Roz - Frasier Banter

[@urbannomad6928]

Don’t forget: delightfully tacky and yet unrefined 😬

[@gdkopinionator4356]

...and, as revealed in that final clip, a very good friend to Niles. Roz was the younger-sister-from-another-mother for Frasier and Niles. She was cut from the same cloth as Martin, but enjoyed the finer things at the same time. She was often at the same society events as the brothers Crane, but enjoyed beer and poker w/ Marty and his cop buddies. I felt bad that she didn't have the happiest ending. She became station manager, but her quest for "Mr. Right" was never completed. She was strong as steel, and the men she dated were usually weak-willed pretty boys...

[@urbannomad6928]

@@gdkopinionator4356 your observation of Roz is spot on. And sadly, it’s precisely because she’s all that, that she is single through to the end. I find her infinitely more intelligent, sexy and interesting than Daphne’s flighty, good-hearted eye candy. Which is probably why the insecure but intellectually equal Niles dukes it out with Roz and flips for Daphne, not the other way around.

[@gdkopinionator4356]

@@urbannomad6928 I think Daphne was originally "a way out" for Niles' awful reality. The writers wisely took the two characters down a different direction when they got together. The entire "Daphne Returns" episode was about that. Niles' OCD becomes a bit less intrusive, and the real Daphne starts to emerge. Daphne is made of steel too; British steel, not Wisconsin steel. In the final two seasons, Daphne becomes the hub of the family. She even learns to screw up a dinner party or two... The episode where she holds that disastrous dinner party is truly a moment of Frasier passing the baton to her...

I think Frasier had the best sitcom writing on TV. The ensemble cast chemistry was magic. The show would've been diminished with the absence of any of them. Even the peripheral characters, Gil Chesterton, Bulldog, Bebe all added immensely to the show. I remember an episode when Niles was helping Daphne zip the zipper on the back of her dress. He got his tie hopelessly caught in the zipper and was awkwardly hobbling around in back of her. Frasier walked in and said, "Niles....(and then after a perfectly timed pause), you seem to have something on your tie."

[@smc1942]

I always thought that, too (Though Niles and Daphne are great.) Niles seemed to have a thing for dominant women like Maris and Mel, and Roz was one who he was actually able to hold his own against instead of being walked over.
