    Not bad but not on par with the best

    This is yet another retread, this time of Father Knows Last from Season One. Dr. Bennett Ludlow ("THE Bennet Ludlow?") is not as nerdy as Marshall, but he's still an odd match for Carla: a reserved intellectual in his 60s, he also happens to be Frasier's mentor and idol.

    There's some funny bits (including a cute routine involving Carla, Sam, Coach, and the phrase "none of your damn business") and Carla has fun lording her relationship with Dr. Ludlow over the aghast Frasier and Diane. Also, Sam gets a moment where he gets to gloat over being right about Carla's romance with Dr. Ludlow. However, this is nothing special, and seems to be designed to write in Rhea Perlman's real life pregnancy.

    Not to Be

    Frasier and Diane bring a man who is a legend as a psychiatrist into the bar. Things go badly because of the sycophantic behavior of Frasier. At some point, Carla approaches the professor about some food on his tie in her usual abrasive style. He finds her immediately attractive and begins to court her. What transpires is really a lot of fun with an absurd twist at the end.

    • Trivia
      Guest star Ernie Sabella (Coach's Bar Patron in the "guessing game") went on to play Carla's cousin in the next season of Cheers (1982) - #4.8 Love Thy Neighbor (1985).
    • Goofs
      When Carla enters the front door, someone in a trench coat is partially visible standing outside waiting to enter. The coat is similar to the one Dr. Ludlow is wearing minutes later, meaning the person standing there is likely actor James Karen.
