Frasier going crazy and acting like a "guy" was one of the better moments this show had during the fourth season. This was when Frasier was just starting to find its voice on TV, and what a voice it turned out to be.

A memorable episode here, and a funny one for sure. I am not a fan of the Bulldog character, but they did a good job here tonight of having the other characters play off him.

Definitely an episode that you should check out when it reairs on TV, which should not be difficult to find the way this show is syndicated.moreless

One of the funniest half hours that I have ever seen in my life.

Roz sets up Frasier with a friend of hers who is a professional golfer. Frasier can't wait to go out with her, until Bulldog steals her away right under his nose. One of the funniest episodes I have ever seen because of its great humor, and Frasier having to cover Bulldog's show was so hilarious I almost wet myself. IN the end this episode should be seen by every person who loves comedy, and has trouble with finding the right person in the world to be there soul mate. This is without a doubt a series classic. Give it a watch.moreless

Roz sets up Frasier to meet her attractive friend, Sharon who is a pro golfer on a blind date, and Frasier is egger to meet her, but Bulldog comes along and steals her away from Frasier.

After she dumps bulldog, Frasier trys to bring him to his senses buy taking not as a therapist, but just a guy, and it seems to work.

Martin has problems of his own when Daphne accidentally burns his favorite pair of shoes, and while trying to find a lace that sells them has a hilarious confrontation with a homeless man.

Another classic Frasier episode, Bulldog finally gets the shaft after dumping so many women, and the bit with Martin and the homeless guy was priceless.moreless

- In this episode, Niles sneers at the quality of the Spanish leather his belt is made of. However, in the first season episode 'Fortysomething' (1x20), Niles complains to Martin about Eddie slobbering all over his shoes, made especially by an "old blind cobbler in Seville [in Spain]".
  EDIT SHARE
- Numerous references are made to the fact that Frasier hasn't been with a woman since the previous Christmas. This is in fact true, and the woman in question was Kate Costas (Mercedes Ruehl).

ADD QUOTES
- Frasier: (filling in for Bulldog) Hello, You're on the air.
  Caller: Yeah, you think it was a good idea for the Sonics to give up those draft choices so they could free up some money under the cap? You know, to go after a wide body to help them in the paint?
  Frasier: (thinking for a while) Yes! (then cuts off the caller)
  EDIT SHARE
- Frasier: Eh, Ok, sports enthusiasts. This is Dr. Frasier Crane filling in for Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe. (bashes bulldog's gong. It topples) You're on the air!
  Caller: This is Mike. I wanted to talk to Bulldog, but you'll do. So, what's your take on the damn Yankees this season?
  Frasier: (pauses to think) Are you speaking of the, the frothy musical adaptation of the Faustian myth or, or the baseball team of which I know nothing?
  Caller: What a weenie. (hangs up)
  EDIT SHARE
- Martin: (to homeless man) Not You. We're talking about Muckabies.
  Homeless Man: Oh. Great Shoes. They used to sell them here.
  Martin: What happened to the store?
  Homeless Man: Moved.
  Daphne: Do you know where?
  Homeless Man: Yeah, it'll cost you.
  Martin: How much?
  Homeless Man: No, not money! I want a kiss.
  Daphne: What!
  Martin: You heard him.
  Daphne: Mr. Crane.
  Martin: You burnt them, you owe me. It's only a kiss.
  Homeless Man: Not her! (begins smiling and raising his eyebrows at Martin)
  (Martin shuffles behind Daphne, with a bewildered look on his face)
  EDIT SHARE
- Niles: I had an abysmal day. Remember the ad I placed?
  Frasier: Oh yes - 'Dr. Niles Crane, Jung specialist', blah, blah, blah...
  Niles: Yes. Well, they've made a tiny little typo. See if you can find it.
  Frasier: (reading)'Dr. Niles Crane... Hung specialist'... Oh, my!
  Niles: The rest they got perfectly. (continues reading) 'Servicing individuals, couples, groups. Satisfaction guaranteed... Tell me where it hurts!'
  Frasier: Well... any calls?
  Niles: It's a telethon, Frasier.

ALLUSIONS (1)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Frasier (to Roz at KACL ranting about losing girls to jocks in high school): I'd head home to Niles and we'd put on the Brandenburg Concertos and play --(pauses and winces)--"air violin".
  
  An allusion to "air guitar": a form of dance and movement in which the performer pretends to play rock or heavy metal-style electric guitar, including riffs, solos, etc. Also an inside-joke allusion to Bach's "Air on the G-String" (for violin) as both the Air and Brandenburg Concertos were composed by Johann Sebastian Bach.
