Funny yet almost a repeat

8.9

"Great"

By giospurs, May 29, 2011

A good episode falling short of greatness only because they already did almost this exact episode in The Matchmaker and that was executed better than this one, as it was funnier with more realistic characters. It was very unrealistic how Emily suddenly interjected that Martin was gay The episode managed to be very funny whilst highlighting the unrealistic nature of Frasier in its farcical elements. However, I suppose this is something which you really have to not think about to enjoy the sitcom. Frasier is the only programme which makes me laugh and like it so much while also aggravating me.moreless

- (Niles is angry with Frasier because he refused to give up his opera tickets) Niles: May your opera box be full of cellophane crinklers and the stage swarming with standbys! Niles should know that in the theatre, there's no such thing as a "standby". He probably meant "understudies".

Niles: (Stalks to the door) May your opera box be full of cellophane crinklers and the stage swarming with standbys!

ALLUSIONS (1)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Frasier: "I have laughed with her during Figaro and I've cried with her during Tosca. I even had a dream about her during Einstein on the Beach."
  The Marriage of Figaro by Wolfgang Mozart is one of the world's most famous comic operas. Likewise, Giacomo Puccini's Tosca is one of the best-known tragic operas. Einstein on the Beach is a 1976 opera by composer Philip Glass. Its five-hour running time (performed without intermission!) combined with Glass' minimalist, repetitive style has put a few other patrons to sleep besides Frasier.
