Ryan Sansone

And Ryan, what did you think of it? I'm it. This is my favorite episode by far. I'm giving it a nine. I agree with you too, Curtis. We're watching it in the right order to understand that Frasier's a monster.

But I was hovering somewhere in the 5 to 6 range. So I think I'm going to give it like maybe a 5.4. It was fine. I think some of it is done again.

I give it an eight and a half.

Uh, I'm going to give it a 7.5. There's a lot of room for improvement.

4-8.

Huge fault. So I ultimately gave this a 5-4. It was a really strong Frasier episode, though. So as much as they didn't do right, everything they do with Frasier is a ton of fun.

But, Ryan, did you have fun? I had a ton of fun. Obviously, I've said that Ferguson's my favorite guest so far. I'm gonna give this, I think, an eight and a half. Oh, wow. That's very high for you.

This is a great episode, I think. I did only give it a 7.1. David Gruber, Alan Wrenches.

Okay, Niles episode of 5-8.

Yeah. It's fine. They do fine. They do some fine jokes. I gave it a 6 out of 10. You know. There's a lot of room for improvement for a good concept. Pirate Lady makes the world's worst joke as a test to see if potential dates are cool or lame.

This was a 6-7.

I gave it a 5.5 and I was all over the place. I had it higher. I had it lower.

So I guess I got that right. Ryan, what do you think? I gave it a six, eight. I really liked the episode. Ryan.

I think I'm more towards you though. I mean, you obviously lost your mind saying it's 7 out of 88, but I gave this a 7.5. You know, there was good jokes.

I think we all have similar scores. I gave it a 5-2. I don't know what I was thinking. Like as we've talked through it, this doesn't make sense at all.

I don't know. It's slightly better than average. I'm going to give it like a five, eight.

What's the strength of this episode? I gave it a 4.8 originally. I want to put it in like the three territory. Maybe even like the two.

Earlier (44:43.72): “Originally gave it a 7-2, enjoyed it.” Revision (44:51.44): “I'm dropping it 2.2 points.” Final (45:34.00): “Flat 5.”

Like I got it in like the seven seven seven range.

Ryan, what about you? You know, I'm looking at my score. I think it was too high. After talking about it, I gave it a four nine. And I think that's maybe, maybe way too high. I think the bright spots were Bulldog and the Alan, David, Olivia exchanges.

At least for a new Frasier, they really nailed it. So, I enjoyed it. I gave it a 7.3. I was thinking about this in broader terms. I feel like sitcoms in general are popular for basically two reasons.

I had to talk myself down from In the Sixes. I gave it a 5-7. I thought Freddy was really the big downer. As much as David's annoying, Freddy's lines brought the episode down.

So I'm giving it a better grade because of my own memory of this experience. It's like this is a fine. It's a C watch. It's fine. It wasn't like the terrible thing that we did the first time. I completely agree with you about David. I still think this one's pretty bad.

I think it's still like in the sea territory.

I think maybe somehow still a Freddy episode. Maybe we all just missed it. C+. I think the Freddy-ness of it all is that this is the episode where, presumably, the things he's saying to Frazier about quitting Harvard are not just things off the top of his head. I got the impression these were the words Frazier said to Freddy when Freddy quit Harvard.

This is definitely a B++.

And Freddie and Frasier were great with her, which was the whole episode. So I thought it was great. I'm going to give it a... Well, OK, I guess we should talk about bad parts. A lot of the... A lot of it made no sense unless you go with Curtis's theory. You patched up all the holes. I can't put it in the A range, but I think it's a B plus.

I think I, I like it a lot more than I remembered liking it. That was great. Uh, on my grading scale, it's going to, that's clearly going to be an A minus. Is that a little bit because last episode was a B minus? Maybe. Remind us your, your grading scale. What's the curve?

Sorry, I did not. I forget how grades work. I'm going to give it a B-. Okay.

Okay. Yeah, I'll give it the ABCs. I'm going to give it a C-.
