Bebe's back!
She's back!
"The Squash Courtship of Freddy's Father" really was the best episode yet.
Overall the Frasier return has been hit or miss. Out of all of the characters I like Alan, Frasier's long-time friend and fellow snobby Harvard professor, the best. He has the right ratio of differences and similarities to Frasier to be a good foil and an entertaining character overall. The writers gave him more depth this season, too.
Frasier's son Freddy is kinda-sorta in the Marty role. It works sometimes. Freddy's BFF Eve is the working-class character featured most often. She's okay. No shade on Eve.
Niles's and Daphne's son Daniel was supposed to be the new Niles. It didn't work AT ALL in season one. The writers seem to be trying to retool him in s2.
David is less annoying now, at least.
I wish David Hyde Pierce would return. AFAIK he has no interest. Oh well.
I keep watching for the nostalgia, Alan, and analyzing the show in general. Watching the ongoing experiment is interesting.
