    Frasier Gets the Itch

    When Kenny's divorce is finalized, he becomes quite depressed. Frasier jumps in and offers him free therapy. But Martin thinks the guy just needs to begin enjoying himself. Frasier believes he has a Freudian foundation for assisting him. Alan Cumming appears in this episode as a yoga master who is working with Niles and Daphne.

    Kenny on the Couch

    I don't really think any 'Frasier' fan was on the edge of their seat, desperate to know the continuing developments in the breakdown of Kenny's marriage, but compared with the alternatives (Kirby, Lana, Julia, any of the Moon's) I suppose Kenny is the lesser of many evils.

    To be fair, Tom McGowan as Kenny is always a likable enough presence, and this is a good without being spectacular episode of 'Frasier'.

    I liked both storylines, and any episode that has a sweet moment between Frasier and his Dad, Martin, always has the potential to add a couple more stars onto my review.

    Overall, by the standards of 'Frasier' in its latter years this is a good episode.

      Dr. Frasier Crane: After one night out with you in a bar, the man is ready to throw away three weeks of intense analysis.

      Martin Crane: Well, Fras, the guy's finally having a little fun. Don't you want him to be happy?

      Dr. Frasier Crane: I am not trying to make him happy! I am trying to cure his depression.

      Kenny Daly: Hey Marty, does this remind you of anything?

      [Kenny downs his cup of coffee like a shot of liquor]

      Kenny Daly: Ow, hot!

    • Crazy credits
      When the title "Frasier" and the usual silhouette of Seattle are on screen, an animated construction crane (is it intended as a phonetic pun?) appears on top of one of the buildings.
