The Frasier Lists

Welcome! I’m Kara. You can learn about me and why I write this blog here. 

I love lists and I write them for many purposes. Some of the lists I most love to write are lists about Frasier.

Scroll down the page if you are curious about how this project got started for me. If you want to get straight to the Frasier lists, well off you go!

The Frasier Lists

My favorite episodes:

As of February 2023, these are my top five favorite Frasier episodes.

  • 7:9 The Apparent Trap “Do I know my son or do I know my son?” One of the best Lilith episodes in the series.
  • 6:1 Good Grief Frasier working through the stages of grief.
  • 6:19 I.Q. The restaurant scene is so funny! This episode goes well as a follow up to 1:22 Author, Author.
  • 10:11 Door Jam “Be my eyes, Frasier.”
  • 6:17 The Dinner Party My favorite episode, in part because it’s in real time. Bonus: Niles’ amazing suspenders.
  • Honorable mention: 11:11 High Holidays Goth Freddy and fridge pants!

“This is great! This is great!”

These lists are from my Frasier Book. What fresh hell is the Frasier Book?

In early 2020, my original household notebook (a housekeeper’s diary of sorts that I had kept since my children were little) fell apart, along with what felt like the entire world.

We were quarantining and doing cozy things like baking bread, working jigsaw puzzles, and nurturing houseplants alongside the bizarre like sourcing toilet paper and paper towels via neighborhood grapevines and using cleaning wipes on our groceries.

I thought of Niles Crane and his handkerchiefs, air purifiers, and Cafe Nervosa chair disinfecting ways quite a lot in those days.

I found comfort in watching Frasier. So, I decided to replace my notebook with a new one to be part diary, part Frasier fan book. It was a happy distraction.

Was I thinking clearly at the time? No. Of course not. Who was? Yet to this day I continue it, looking for stickers and quotes, writing lists as I rewatch.

This page was originally published on April 14, 2023. Coincidentally April 14 is the anniversary of Frasier the lab rat’s death, from season 4 episode 22 Are You Being Served? – known as “the hot and foamy” episode.

Now for me, April 14 will also be the anniversary of the day I began to share my Frasier Lists.

Thanks for listening. ☕️🎙️🐶
