Frasier 8.1

Saul Rubinek. The aftermath of Niles & Daphne getting together makes for mostly painful viewing. Only Kelsey Grammer saves it. Fact is: a full hour of people we mostly like being really heartbroken doesn’t make for hilarious viewing. Thanks to Saul Rubinek and Jane Adams both Donny and Mel are likeable characters. Sure, the viewing audience is more invested in seeing Niles and Daphne get together but… not like this. Not wish so much honest-to-goodness misery. 4/10
