That episode makes me tear up every time. Not quite Monica-proposing-to-Chandler crying, but crying.

This was hands down my favorite episode. This one and the one where Daphne teaches him how to tango.

Was just thinking to myself that this makes me not to watch Frasier re-runs anymore, but then I was like oh right... Niles. <3

FFS, people. Humanism is not a “more inclusive” version of feminism.

The skeleton thing might be a little heavy for a 3 year old, but your comment reminded me of this.

But will Cinder Calhoun be there?

This is my thought any time someone talks about how grisly a procedure is. “You realize a woman’s body doesn’t just have an ‘eject’ button, right?”

I said this upthread, but I feel like they’ve broken up in almost every movie/episode for a time. This feels like a temporary plot point. And didn’t the Jason Segal Muppets start with them apart?

Gotta disagree with you there. Kermit was both cynical (perhaps as a caricature as you say, though it just seemed your run-of-the-mill straight man to zany characters cynicism), AND a complete and utter asshole to Piggy. And to Fozzie on more than one occasion. Horrible, horrible boyfriend, who would eventually *kind…

I’ve always wondered if Rolf was Tom Waits. Everyone I’ve ever brought that up to has looked at me like I’m crazy.

I totally see that as a temporary plot point. There were plenty of other movies and specials where they broke up for a time. Didn’t the Jason Segal penned Muppets begin with them apart?

Seriously? Because Kermit has ALWAYS been morose.

Sadly, even Muppet Babies are before a lot of these people’s times.

Animal was kept on a chain to keep him from maniacally chasing after every woman he saw. This is not a new plot point.

Replace mother with step mother and you have mine.

This! Every person on here is like “he’s gross” or “he seems like a shit head” but every interview I’ve seen where he’s being himself, and his posts on IG about his standup and people he works with, he honestly seems articulate and lovely. I kinda fell in love with him reading her anecdotes about him in “Yes Please.”

When this episode first came on, my roommate and I kept it on Tivo and cued up to this spot for, like, probably a year. Everyone who came into our house had to watch it.

“It doesn’t get ‘easier’; more like just further away.”

What a perfect description. My mom will have been gone for 15 years on October 10. The first few years were nearly unbearable, but it’s steadily gotten smoother as time has marched on. Birthdays and holidays still sting like a bitch though, and I never quite know…

It’s Uzbeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan all over again.
