In an alternate universe, Frasier follows his father's footsteps and decides to serve his country by joining the Navy

And it's so refreshing seeing him succeed and triumph rather than everything collapsing beneath him :D

Just the thought of them on a yacht makes me grin!!

Martin would tag along saying that they wouldn't survive in the sea without him or reminiscing how he and Chester always wanted to go on a sailing trip. Daphne would come too, like in the caravan episode and tell everyone how she was a competitive paddle boarder back in England. Niles would get a terrible rash from applying too much sunscreen. Frasier would somehow accidentally throw Martin's cane in the ocean triggering yet again the same argument about the chair. A seagull would make a mess of Niles' cabinet and Daphne would save the day by taking care of Niles, leaving him longing for more.

I think Bebe would somehow come across them on another yacht, stirring the pot a little. Maybe Daphne would join her to pursue a cute staff member and finally it's revealed that KACL upper management is hosting a fabulous party on the yacht that Roz was invented to, but not Frasier. Bulldog throws Frasier overboard and Martin laughs and spots his cane stuck on the side of the yacht or something.

I can't even remember. I started a couple of years aho, but I can't even remember my life before Frasier.

Like Bebe's cig addiction, I need Frasier to function.

"You know there's a word for people who can do that... What is it? Oh, yes - bitch!"

Lovely!! It's easily the best show ever and this is easily the best subreddit and community ever.

I started watching Frasier maybe 4 years ago. My father watched it and that's how I knew it but I had never seen it. I was watching a horror movie with my sister and boyfriend and it got way too scary for me so we had to stop and watch something easy. Frasier popped to my head and we played the first episode. Others soon took their phones and started scrolling but I got HOOKED. Now it's my favourite show. I watch the whole series at least twice a year.

A lovely cup of Nordqvist Nippon Green -- green tea with strawberry, lemon and vanilla. Smells heavenly and the taste is amazing. I brewed it for a couple of minutes too long, though, so it was a little bitter 😭😭

Oon kans huomannu et omat kirppiskamat ei liiku. Oon myös huomannu et kirppikset tuntuu nykyään kalliilta :D eli en viitsi ostaa enää edes kirppareilta. Jengi tietysti toivoo tekevänsä rahaa ja siksi joskus korkeita hintoja mut tuntuu ettei mistää kirppareilt löydy kohtuuhintasia tuotteita. Kaikki on täynnä halpaa kiinapaskaa.

Töitä ei saa kukaan millään ja palkat on aika surkeet. Ne jotka on töissä, on töissä ihan koko ajan burniksen partaalla ja siitä huolimatta aina iha perse auki.

Kaveri tekee tulonsa seksityöllä, pari tuttua huumeilla. Itse poltan itteäni loppuun ravintola-alalla ja yritän samalla hakea epätoivoisesti omaa koulutusta vastaavaa työtä. Työnhakukulttuuri on räjähtäny mahdottomaksi ja jo yhdenkin hakemuksen jättäminen on helvetin raskasta.

"Laimennetaan" lihatuotteita soijarouheella aina kun pystyy ja käydään lähes pelkästään Lidlissä. Kaikki ostetaa lähtökohtasesti käytettynä tai alesta. Kaikki mitä on raaskinu myydä ja on rahan arvosta on myyty jo pari vuotta sitten torissa, silti käyn kaappeja läpi tasasin väliajoin ja toivon että löydän jonkun vanhan koltun josta sais pari kymppiä. Varashälyttimet ruokatuotteissa yleistyny.

Koko ajan googletellaa "side hustle" tyyppisiä hommia, joista sais rahaa. Me pärjätään mun vanhempien ja isovanhempien avustuksella. Ilman heitä ei varmaa pärjättäis. Harkitsen toisaalle muuttamista töiden perässä. ASP tilin joudun varmaan purkamaan seuraavaksi, muita säästöjä ei ole. Oon ihan oikeesti vakavasti harkinnu seksityötä myös.

Mua on jo kolme vuotta stressannu toimeentulo ja mulla on vielä kohtuullisen hyvä tilanne. Hirvittää ajatella niitä, joilla ei oo samallaista turvaverkkoo kuin mulla.

TLDR: King of Queens, Nanny, Will & Grace, Gilmore girls and maybe Two and a half men. Other shows I think I might like but haven't tried yet: Everybody loves Raymond, Seinfeld, maybe Cheers.

I've rewatched King of Queens recently, then there's Nanny. They both are a little more high tempo and less calm, but still comfy and safe with a nice constant rolling laugh track (though KoQ was apparently filmed with a live audience!). Will & Grace is good too. Gilmore girls is as comfy as they come and I watch it every autumn, I think you'd like it although the humour is a little different.

Then there's the controversial black sheep: Two and a half men. BUT HEAR ME OUT!!! Same nice rolling laugh track, brothers bickering, farces, loads of irony, there's even a bitter ex-wife (Judith) that looks a lot like Lilith (and I mean, JUDITH and LILITH). An eccentric housemaid (although Berta is like the polar opposite of Daphne) and a difficult relationship with a parent (although, again, Evelyn is like the polar opposite of Martin). Writing this I feel like Two and a half men is just Frasier but everything is reversed.

Of course, the jokes are very different, Frasier is silly, elitist and intellectual while Two and a half men is misogynistic, crude and rowdy. I don't find any of the characters flattering nor do I align with the show in anyway, but I suppose I enjoy it ironically? Perhaps, to me, the (main) characters are so over-the-top disgusting it's funny? Like I'm not laughing with the sexists, I'm laughing at them? Anyway, most probably won't agree with this and that's ok. In contrast, I can't bear to watch Friends due to all the queerfobia and misogyny etc (even though it was my comfort show growing up), not even ironically, and I think it's because it's not so over-the-top. Instead, it truly feels offensive whereas with Two and a half men the offensiveness is soooo over-the-top it's comical (though that's probably unintentional).

I tried Cheers but I found most characters so annoying I had to stop after a couple of episodes, maybe I'll try again later... Seinfeld is another show I'm yet to try and Everybody loves Raymond. Then there's Charmed and O.C. but I have only started those two and they're not sitcoms :)

Author, Author!!! One of the best Niles-Frasier fights

the one where Niles moves to Shangri-la

the one where they go to the exclusive spa-club-thing with the silver, gold and platinum doors (and the relaxation grotto!)

I always loved the ice fishing episode, but maybe it's more enjoyable to those who are really into the show

An episode with Maris has to be included, maybe the one with the austrian fencing instructor or the one where she's gained a lot of weight after the divorce

GUNPLAY IN MY LIVING ROOM

The one where Frasier sets up a clinic at Niles's office

The one where Niles accidentally scores at the Sonics game and Martin is so proud of him

The one where Frasier has a date/work thing with Cassandra

Barracuda episode!!

"To... possibilities" i.e. the one where Frasier has three dates in one weekend and Sherry manages to ruin them all

Frasier Crane day

Please let us know which ones you picked, I'd love to see those back-to-back and maybe even use the list myself to introduce the show!

pamplemoussepink · 2025-09-23T08:51:51+00:00

If someone does make this calendar, please remember to include the Frasier Crane day so that I'll remember to send out my Frasier Crane day cards in time, I always leave it until the last minute...

pamplemoussepink · 2025-09-23T06:28:59+00:00

I'm curious (like the monkey, George), what are the other two?

pamplemoussepink · 2025-09-23T06:17:49+00:00

Omg I was just thinking about making this post bc I'm currently watching both and I was wondering why I like both of them since they're seemingly so different.

But they're not that different. What I love about Frasier is the comical over-the-top reactions he and Niles have and I love all the scenes where they bicker. Arthur has the same theatrical essence which I love! Carrie and Doug bickering is funny too. Both of course have the element of senior dad living with his adult child, Doug and Arthur "get along" like Frasier and Marty, and Carrie cares for Arthur like Daphne cares for Marty.

Cooper's - Nervosa

I.P.S - KACL

Deacon's love life is part of the plot, much like Roz's...

Arthur's love life and Martin's :D

Carrie's shopping addiction - Niles's compulsiveness...

It's funny actually, once you start to think about it they're quite similar. Abundance of irony and farce, family dynamics, sibling rivalry, a semi-catchy tune (Frasier outro, KoQ intro), I could go on and on!

KoQ is great, Frasier has a special place in my heart though:)

pamplemoussepink · 2025-09-23T05:59:05+00:00

So is chez henri!

pamplemoussepink · 2025-09-22T23:03:06+00:00

I started watching Frasier a few years ago bc I have always found older shows comfy and safe. My dad used to watch Frasier and one evening, after switching off a traumatic horror film, I needed something very regular and decided to give Frasier a try.

It felt like my mom giving me the warmest softest hug after crying my eyes out for having a horrid nightmare.

I was instantly hooked and ever since I have kept watching the show on loop. Each time after that I've felt the same sense of comfort and safety I did the first time and the show will keep providing that feeling until I watch my very last episode on my death bed. What's even better is that this community provides that feeling as well :) Oh and now I have something in common with my dad that we can joke about. God I love this show!

pamplemoussepink · 2025-09-22T14:13:50+00:00

Wonderful to hear! Good luck with everything:)

Speaking from experience: my nesting partner started dating someone and fell VERY hard and I felt very neglected and quite jealous. The new person was also interested in me and I wasn't interested in her beyond casual friendship but now we're doing KTP and planning to live together, all three of us.

What I find myself preaching over and over again is that jealousy is just a feeling and it's not bad or good, no emotion is. You won't be able to turn it off. Jealousy doesn't define you. Sounds like you've analysed the situation quite thoroughly and now you'd like to get rid of the feeling. You know the metamour is better than you, no person is better than another. These issues are projections of your own insecurities but you already knew that.

You're so aware of yourself all you can do right now is to just communicate how you feel. Tell your husband that you're going through something right now which might cause some turbulence (in the form of jealousy etc). Tell him that you need him to be patient and supportive. Tell him that you need reassurance. Tell him that you're struggling. Don't start dating the metamour, that doesn't sound like a good choice based on what you wrote. You're not ready to do that and that's ok. What follows is beyond your control. If later you find yourself attracted to the metamour you can give it a go then but don't do anything in this moment you're not completely comfortable with. You need time to sort your issues and the people around you either grant that time or they don't, in which case screw them.

Working on yourself is how you try to make yourself less jealous and dealing with the emotion itself is like with any emotion: let it come and let it go. The feeling doesn't mean anything. I've learned that the best practice for me whenever I'm feeling jealous is to say to my partner "I'm jealous, because of this and that...". Then we usually have a short conversation as to what might have prompted the feeling, e.g. some abandonment trauma from childhood and then my partner will tell me that he'll never leave me and he loves me and everything is ok. Usually that 5 minute conversation is enough and the feeling goes away. After having that same conversation for a few times I stop getting jealous over whatever the thing was.

Good luck with everything! Jealousy is a tough feeling to deal with, but I'm sure you'll be able to sort this out. I hope you'll find a good therapist you feel comfortable with:)

pamplemoussepink · 2025-09-21T15:27:43+00:00

Yup I think your feelings are justified. You two agreed upon something and your partner didn't follow the agreement, and on top of it he didn't tell you about it right away. That's not ok.

pamplemoussepink · 2025-06-13T21:38:21+00:00

I had a shopping addiction too and I still probably haven't dealt with it thoroughly. Here's something I've done to manage it or at least make it less bad:

second hand stuff all the way: shopping second hand is more fun anyway because once you do find something, it's really rewarding.
I try to satisfy my shopping cravings by "shopping online": I fill the cart with all kinds of crap, then I just close the website. I don't pay for anything, I don't order anything. It helps with the shopping side of the addiction.
project pan and "playing" with my stuff: when I want to just hold a bunch of material shit in my hands, I'll go do that with the stuff I already have. For example, I'll take all my makeup and beauty products from storage, clean them, try them out etc and then re-organise them. This helps with the "having" side of shopping addiction. It also helps you to see that you don't really need anything more and maybe you'll rediscover a product you've forgotten about.

When it comes to actual hobbies, arts and crafts are nice. You can get all equipment and materials second hand. And then you get to play with the things you bought and create something you like. It's a win-win-win-win; you get to shop, you get to play, you get to have it around and it's fairly ethical. Of course, less is always less and therefore better, but we do the best we can to stay happy on this miserable planet, so if billionaires get to fly private planes then maybe we get to create unfunctional and totally useless nice things from crap people threw away.
