Crock Tales

I've always found this episode to be charming and sweet albeit the wigs the actors wear that are way too distracting. Frasier reminiscences on the past eleven years via memories associated with a crock. Maybe not the second to last episode fans would've wanted but still charming nevertheless.

Considering this is the next to last show of the series, I would have expected the writers to be at the top of their games. A retrospective of some rather innocuous events is a bit disappointing. I never watched this show when it was on and have really liked the experience seeing all the episodes.

Great episode that is not a flashback, but a good way to reminisce the show.

If you're not a hardcore Frasier fan, this is awful but after seeing every episode 20 times I would say it's a cute idea going back in time over the entire series. I understand using wigs to make them look like they did in past years but did they have to buy the wigs at the dollar store? Was it intentionally campy? Or did it just come out that way? It's cute if you don't expect too much.

I thought this episode was a nice way to celebrate the show and remind you of key moments without doing the dreaded flashback episode to save time/money/effort in the dying days of the show. I remember 'Friends' pulled this trick in its own last series, with the flashback sequence lasting nearly as long as the new material.

This is actually one of the better episodes from the eleventh and final series, and it's a shame that they didn't do more episodes that celebrated what made the show good during this final run, rather than the seemingly endless run of bad dates for Frasier themed ones we had to go through.

Good stuff.
