Frasier got a heavy dose on this list, and all three episodes work for very different reasons. It was basically part of my rehab. This one, though, is what happens when an ensemble comedy comes together perfectly. It does everything from puns to comic misunderstandings to over-the-top slapstick, and it does it well. Part of the premise of Frasier is that Frasier Kelsey Grammer and his brother, Niles David Hyde Pierce , are both very uptight and snooty while their father, Martin John Mahoney , is an unpretentious everyman ex-cop. They often try to dream far beyond their own abilities, because they assume they are amazing at everything. And this episode features one of the most common cases of hubris: Believing that you can start your own business with family. No, to you, owning a restaurant is just wearing fancy clothes, hobnobbing with your friends and turning your enemies away at the door. At first, everything goes well.

The series sees newly divorced psychiatrist Frasier Crane Kelsey Grammer leave behind his old life in Boston and relocate to his hometown of Seattle, Washington. He begins a new career as the host of his own radio call-in show, where he is assisted by his sassy, somewhat promiscuous producer, Roz Doyle Peri Gilpin. Frasier quickly learns from his anal retentive younger brother Niles David Hyde Pierce that their disabled father Martin John Mahoney is no longer able to live alone, and Frasier reluctantly agrees to take him in along with Martin's favorite recliner and his dog, Eddie Moose. In order to help Martin with his physical therapy, he and Frasier ultimately hire a live-in housekeeper and therapist, Daphne Moon Jane Leeves , a quirky British woman who believes she is psychic. The five quickly form a strange family unit, and Frasier comes to realize that even though his new life may not be what he planned, that does not mean that it is bad. Although the actual episode titles were rarely formally displayed on-screen, each episode had two or three 'title cards', flashed up on a black backdrop during an episode usually at the start of one of the three parts of the original US broadcast. These pertained to the particular sequences of the episodes themselves, often in ways which were not immediately obvious. Many referred to classical literature and cultural subjects, while a small percentage were also the overall titles of the episodes.
