    Freddy and Lilith Can Go

    I have little to say other than the obligatory holiday visit from wife and son. These, to me, are the most tiresome of episodes. Lilith walks into the room and it's as if Satan had arrived. And Frederick is about as dull a kid as I've ever seen. The plot here is boring and it doesn't have any humor at all.

    • Trivia
      After saying that Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) will be spending Thanksgiving with a colleague in Vancouver, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) wonders aloud whether Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving. Although Canada does in fact celebrate a Thanksgiving, Canadian Thanksgiving is the second Monday of October.
    • Quotes

      [Niles and Lilith see each other for the first time after their fling]

      Frasier: It happened, take from it what you can learn, move on.

      Niles: Well, I learned if you kiss her too fast you get an ice-cream headache.

      Lilith: You also learned that I have twice your upper body strength, so shut your pie hole.

    • Crazy credits
      When the title "Frasier" and the usual silhouette of Seattle are on screen, several lights are being lit in the "windows" of the buildings.
