Kelsey Grammer portrayed the beloved character Frasier Crane in the hit comedy series, Frasier. Fans of the show have recently been discussing which episodes they believe would not be suitable for today's audience. The show, which was a spin-off of Cheers, aired for 11 successful years from 1993 to 2004, following the life of Frasier as he returned to his hometown of Seattle and reunited with his equally pretentious brother, Niles, and their father, Martin.
Even though the show ended 20 years ago, viewers have been able to experience all the drama and chaos in the Crane household through reruns on Channel 4. This has allowed fans to reflect on some of the more awkward moments from the show, many of which may not be considered appropriate by today's standards. On a dedicated Frasier fan page, a user named Immediate_Map_6604 asked which episodes fans believed would be too controversial for 2024.
Many fans suggested various episodes, including the introduction of Dr. Mary in season seven, which some believe would not be acceptable today. One episode, in particular, titled "Slow Tango in South Seattle" from season two, has sparked a lot of discussion among fans. The episode follows Frasier's affair with his high school teacher, who was also much older than him. Fans have expressed that this storyline would be considered problematic and potentially predatory in today's society, and not suitable for a mostly PG sitcom.
Some fans have even admitted to skipping this episode when rewatching the series, as they find it uncomfortable and somewhat disturbing. Even back when the episode first aired in the early 90s, viewers were raising eyebrows. The episode sparked controversy and debate among fans, with some questioning Frasier's age and the fact that he didn't seem to have any issue with the situation.
Despite the episode's questionable plot, the show's writer and executive producer, Joe Keenan, believes that Frasier has aged well overall. In a recent interview to celebrate the show's 30-year anniversary, Keenan stated that he couldn't think of any specific plotlines that have not aged well. However, he acknowledged that there may be some things they wouldn't have done if the show was being produced today.
Keenan also mentioned that he doesn't often rewatch the show, as he is focused on his current projects. He believes that the actors and crew are also more focused on their current work than reflecting on their past successes. He admitted that if he watched the show more often, he might find some problematic moments, but overall, he believes it has stood the test of time.
