Trivia
The episode title is a nod to the original series premiere episode The Good Son.

Goofs
In the airport scene at the beginning, when the man returns Frasier's wallet, the scene outside the window shows a very old stock picture of an Alitalia MD-11. Alitalia went bankrupt in 2021. They last used a MD-11 in 2003.

Quotes
Alan Cornwall: And how are things between you two? I remember how tense it was when he dropped out of Harvard.
Dr. Frasier Crane: All these years later, I still don't get it, but he's forging his own path, and I support that.
Alan Cornwall: And I believe you. Oh, look, now we're both liars.

Not the same, but man

I didn't know how much I would cry watching the first episode. My husband and I have rewatched the original series several times. We love the late John Mahoney (Martin). He is one of the best characters from the original series. He was the best. I cried like a baby the last few minutes of the first episode. Well-done!! Thank you for honoring him.

This may not be the same show, but I am looking forward to seeing how this plays out. I love the twist of Frasier and Freddy's relationship compared to Frasier and Martin. I love the new characters too. David is a hoot. We will miss our old familiar characters. We are excited to watch more!
