It’s important to have a lot of people around-it’s a big restaurant set, with adjoining kitchen (the unmarked kitchen doors are going to come into play, obviously)-because once things start going wrong, the episode will become Grammer and Hyde Pierce trying to fix one thing while breaking two others. Hibbert’s the radio restaurant critic who kicks off the whole plot in that efficient opening.

Everyone’s going to be there-Mahoney, Jane Leeves, Gilpin, Dan Butler, and Edward Hibbert. David Hyde Pierce, which is always funny and usually good-Kelsey Grammer and Hyde Pierce are proud new restauranteurs and it’s opening night. He eventually gets reassigned and does a lot better, but then you’re just left wondering why they weren’t using him better the whole time.Īfter some exceptionally efficient and funny setup-including some Peri Gilpin vs. John Mahoney spends a bunch of the episode doing his irate thing even after it isn’t making things funny anymore. It’s a really good “Frasier,” with the entire cast doing a great job-they just aren’t asked to do very much.

ValBradshaw on Cigar Road-Trip IPCPR2018. BENRIACH SINGLE MALT SCOTCH RELEASES RARE, AGED WHISKIES.It’s a great piece of vintage barware and a real conversation piece! I got that decanter to the checkout as fast as I could and it’s been “top shelf” on my wine. The fellow standing next to me commented “That’s the arly he was envious of my getting to the 2 nd hand riches first! Loving all forms of tacky collectibles, I start to laugh, thinking “This is great!” It then shuts off by the same pin at the bottom of the decanter when the “bartender” puts the decanter back down. Out of curiosity, I pick it up and it immediately starts playing “How dry I am”, activated by a pin that gets the player started when the decanter is picked up. While in a local Value Village, I spot an amber colored glass decanter on a top shelf. I scour 2 nd hand stores, looking for unique items. Whatever the set decorators motivation was, I’m really glad she or he did it because if ever I go to sell the decanter, I can describe it as “seen on Frasier” haha!īack-story on how I found the music-box decanter. Scene from Les Frères Heureux – Frasier Season 2 – The Innkeepersĭon’t get me wrong, the irony of having that kind of decanter on the bar of the kind of restaurant that Frasier & Niles Crane would own was beyond comical. The very same decanter that I added to my collection a couple of years ago. You can imagine my delight when I see a vintage music box decanter on the back wall in the upper right hand corner. Trying to avert disaster (which we know will only create more disaster) the “Happy Brothers” call on friends & family to help in the kitchen and at the bar.įamily patriarch, Marty Crane, takes over as bartender.ĭuring a conversation with Frasier, the shot pans to the back wall of the bar behind Marty. The brothers eagerly look forward to the opening of the newly christened “Les Frères Heureux,” which translates as “The Happy Brothers.”īut “happy” is not the word that immediately springs to mind on opening night - especially after Frasier and Niles have managed to either injure or scare off virtually the entire staff.”Īs the episode plays out, we see Frasier & Niles lose the entire staff all in one night. “In a fit of nostalgia, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer and Niles (David Hyde Pierce) purchase their favorite restaurant, a landmark establishment that has fallen on hard times. One of the episodes I loved the most was “The Innkeepers” from Season 2. It’s no wonder it ran as many seasons as it did.Įxcellent writing, direction & stellar cast.
THE INNKEEPERS FRASIER TV
There’s a lot to love about Frasier, Kelsey Grammer’s long running TV series.
