Frasier: "To Tell The Truth". Part Four

I love Niles when he panics.
"Niles NEVER wins, Niles always loses. That´s why Niles lives at the Shangrila and drives a HATCHBACK!"
Pretty tricky ethical question actually, tell the truth or lie...
Part four of five.

when donny says the thing at the end when he leaves, what does that mean?

[OllieJonsson]

I think it means that Donny is convinced that, because Frasier never will lie in court, he will say that Niles is NOT in love with Daphne (because Donny doesnt know that he is).

[LitCrit101]

What does it say on that glass door behind Frasier at about 4:40? It looks like Chenberd. Does it mean something?

Can anyone explain how Frasier and Niles's father is a kind of tough-talking cop, while on Cheers, Frasier's mother was an upper-crust snob psychaitrist? How did they get together? On Cheers, Frasier descends from pilgrims who arrived in America with a 'small personal fortune.' How do they explain the social disparity between the parents on Frasier?

[OllieJonsson]

It is suggested sometimes in the show(especially when old friends from 'Cheers' appear in the show) that Frasier lied or exaggerated things in 'Cheers' to seem more 'important'...

[OllieJonsson]

I think it is a poster and the name is Rauschenberg, as in Robert Rauschenberg (the artist).

John Mahoney is a hell of an actor.

gah

fraiser is so effin annoyin about tellin the truth

[TranceStarr]

@CitizenAngel I agree. He sees ethics as a completely immovable and unchanging set of rules when really ethics adapt situationally. I is not ALWAYS wrong to lie, for example. In this situation, MY ethics would tell me that it was more important to protect my family then to make a useless claim in a petty court case, even if it was under oath.

[beatz02]

Very foolish how they write Frasier as a super ethical truth teller in this episode (and others), yet Frasier is a bold face liar when it comes to women (and other significant issues), which is why he's always single.. He always lies and ends up getting caught in his lies and eventually gets dumped.

Once again Marty rules!

[penguin1818]

Niles never wins............that's Niles lives at the Shangra La and drives a HATCHBACK! David Hyde Peirce cracks me the hell up

[1misanthropist]

Dad drinks, Frasier runs away, and Niles hides.

[CitizenAngel]

For A a supposedly intelligent man Frasier could really be a naive twit who only sees things in Black and White. What kind of guy puts his ethics ahead of the well being of a member of his family, especially when it's all said and done noone needed to find out he would have lied under oath. He knew Niles feelings for Daphnae had nothing to do with the marrige failing and yet he would have let him lose that case knowing that!

[twiwonder]

I love Niles so much. He's cute, shy, sweet, sensitive, educated, funny-----how did it take him and Daphne so long to find each other/ 

[BigWilki123321]

The scene in the kitchen with Frasier and Martin at 4:40 is excellent.

[dimitry246]

Lol, it's so hilarious how Marty talks about that 'some people need an escape from facing a problem' while drinking scotch, and Niles being under the piano.

[kaejae24]

Hilarious how Marty talks about escaping problems as he pourshimself a drink - LOL - The Irony
