Frasier: Frasier-Lite

« prev episode next » episode

KACL employees face off against another station in a weight-loss competition, with the winning team to receive a trip to Las Vegas. Tensions rise among the staffers, who become extremely cranky due to hunger as the contest proceeds. Noel starves himself and repeatedly faints after Roz suggests that he might get lucky with her in Vegas if they win the trip. Frasier refuses to get into the competitive spirit until he discovers that their opponent's general manager is a man who bullied him in high school (stealing his chess set). Meanwhile, Niles and Martin try to nurse an injured pigeon back to health; and Niles repeatedly suffers injuries of his own because the pregnant Daphne rolls over onto him in her sleep.

Niles didn't want to touch Barney the pigeon because birds carry disease, but he also didn't want to use Martin's handkerchief (presumably for the same reason) so he used his bare hands. But Niles had his own handkerchief...he used it to clean the safety smudge off the window.

Does anybody else find that KACL's choice of contestants is a little odd? Frasier, Gil and Kenny are justified as they are two personalities and the manager, but what about Roz and Noel? The listeners rarely hear anything out of them. Bulldog definitely should not be there. He's just a guy who works in storage now. edit »

Dan Butler makes his final appearance as Bulldog in the series. This was also his only appearance in Season 11. edit »
Bess Armstrong reprises her role as Kelly Kirkland from Season 8's "Mary Christmas". edit »

Frasier: I want that sky-rat outta here!
Martin: Oh no, Eddie will be crushed! The bird's like his pet!
Frasier: Eddie is the pet. He doesn't get to have a pet. edit »
Martin: Hey, Fras. How was the weigh-in?
Frasier: Oh, it was appalling, thank you. My teammates ridiculed me for not pigging out beforehand. You know what is it about teams and, and competitions that just brings out the worst in people?
Martin: Here we go again.
Daphne: What?
Niles: Well, Frasier and team sports are not a happy mix. Freshman
year, in a bid to please Dad-
Frasier: There is no need to tell that story.
Niles: Frasier inadvertently joined the girls' field hockey team.
Frasier: The sign-up sheet said "F. Hockey". I assumed it meant "freshmen" hockey.
Martin: The little plaid skirt didn't tip you off?
Frasier: I thought it was a kilt!

Frasier: You did not make me cry. I chose to cry as a tactic to elicit sympathy and thereby regain my chess set.
