Frasier, I don't think he can live alone anymore.
Well, I know this isn't going to be anyone's favorite solution, but I took the liberty of checking out a few convalescent homes for him.
Well, then, we're agreed about what to do with Dad.
Golden Acres.
We care so you don't have to.
It's a scene from the pilot of Frasier, directed by my guest James Burroughs.
And, you know, great scene, great series.
One of the things that's really interesting to me about that scene and about, like, you know, the early Frasier is that Niles sounds completely different than he did later on.
He is not talking with that, you know, kind of feet-clipped style of speech that he develops later in the series.
I did not notice that.
I...
I always thought that he was – there was no other word to describe Niles than a feat for me because he was a personification of Frasier and Frasier was certainly a feat on Cheers.
So I did not know that.
I guess I – well, you know what?
Niles was a minor character.
If you talk to the boys, originally Niles only had one scene in the pilot.
And he was an afterthought.
They thought the strong relationship would be between father and son.
And then because of David, that part expanded rapidly.
And thank God, because it was a wonderful relationship.
