Frasier Has Spokane
studioAT7 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
By the mixed standards of the ninth series of 'Frasier' this is a marked improvement on the previous few episodes, but it's still a case of a good premise being not fully executed.
It's such a shame they didn't pursue the Roger and Roz relationship further, because it would have given that character a bit more scope for storylines. But then again we thought the same would happen once she had Alice, and that never materialised.
There is a nice scene at the end of the episode that shows the class is still there, but 'Frasier' has become a very hit and miss affair by this the end of its ninth year.

Ending resonates with those going through heartbreak

At first glance, Frasier Has Spokane is a seemingly forgettable episode of the beloved sitcom. Frasier travels to Spokane to replace a long-time favorite radio personality, but he is met with hostility from the locals. In a desperate attempt to generate interest in his show, he asks Roz to call in and fake an on-air conversation.
However, the episode takes a turn when Roz decides to open up about her own recent breakup with Roger. She confesses her fear of being alone and her doubts about whether or not she is capable of love. Frasier listens patiently and offers her words of comfort and reassurance.
This scene is a masterclass in emotional storytelling. It is both heartwarming and heartbreaking, and it perfectly captures the raw emotions that come with a breakup. Peri Gilpin gives a particularly moving performance as Roz, and Kelsey Grammer is equally impressive as Frasier.
The Roz-Frasier call-in scene is the reason why Frasier Has Spokane is such a good episode. It is a powerful and relatable moment that resonates with viewers on a deep level. It also shows the strength of Frasier and Roz's friendship, and it is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we are never truly alone.
