  • Frasier receives the lifetime achievement award.

    "Perfect"
    By Bountyhunterc28, May 16, 2007
    Frasier and Roz are shutout at this year's Seabees but Frasier is awarded the lifetime achievement award, he later receives flowers from and old mentor Professor Tewksbury, the massage that is written in the card is not what Frasier though it should be, so before the awards banquet, he pays his mentor a visit.

    What begins as a visit ends up being a journey to discover why Frasier feels empty, after everything he has achieved in life, he ends up role playing, becoming his own caller, only to find out that he can not help himself.

    So when Frasier arrives, it's no surprise that his acceptance speech is short.

    I liked the way Martin tired to keep Niles self-esteem up in this episode, he tried to show Niles that even though he is not getting any awards, he is still as good a physiatrist as Frasier is, even though he did lay it on a bit thick at times, that one good dad for youmoreless

    • (Frasier has been pretending he is a caller on his own show) Frasier: Sometimes it helps to write yourself a letter... Tewksbury: He's already got himself on the phone. Frasier: (frustrated) I don't know what he wants! Tewksbury: Then why do you keep trying to bury him in psychiatric exercises? Frasier: Because that's all I have! (Tewksbury gives him a knowing, sad look) Frasier: I'm sorry, caller, I can't help you.

    • Dr. Tewksbury: (On the phone) Yes, dear, I know we have reservations but one of my former students is having a minor crisis. I'll be there in half an hour. Frasier: (shouting out the window) WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? Tewksbury: Make it an hour.
