What is the most highbrow season? Which one has the most references to literature, art, classical music, psychology etc. and most intelligent jokes?
>>
most highbrow season was cheers season 6

Frasier was just 90s Big Bang Theory.

there are no autists in Frasier though.

Is Cheers actually worth watching if I like Frasier?
>>
>>87668672
they are nothing alike. frasier is almost a totally different character on cheers he plays sports watches camp horror movies and is just another one of the guys. Frasier made him weird
>>
>>87668349
Nah, Frasier has actual jokes.
>>
>>87668920
You mean that back in Boston he was a nobody shrink living the middle class doldrums. A closeted patrician trying to fit in with a crowd of normies and betas at a local dive bar before getting his life together, kicking his bitch wife to the curb, and moving to the newly booming Seattle to make bank and become a top socialite and local celeb.

There are no good torrents of Cheers. Also it aged pretty terribly. The camera is all fucking dark and old, and looks ancient on screen.
>>
>>87668672
Yes and no.

Fraiser doesn't show up until season 3 (and Lilith in season 4) but a good chunk of backstory is in season 1-2 that is needed for you to be able to get up to speed when Fraiser comes into the picture, since he was originally introduced as rival for Sam for Diane's affection.

While it is possible to watch Fraiser without watching Cheers, there are a lot of injokes you will miss, when Lilith and other members of Cheers start doing sweeps months guest spots.

Also Cheers is kind of schizophrenic. The cast was originally anchored by a crusty but lovable older guy/father figure for Sam, who died in season one. He was replaced with Woody Harrelson in season two, which was a good thing since Woody added a new flavor to the character interaction since he was a dumb hick fresh off the farm in the big city while the older guy was Sam's surrogate father.

Season five saw Diane leave the show (TLDR Shelly Long wanted a movie career and ended up committing career suicide) and was replaced with Rebecca (Kristie Alley), who was a corporate suit that was put in charge of the bar when Sam sold it and who used Sam as a cheap lay then discarded him to chase after her supervisor, who she was madly in love with.

The Rebecca seasons of Cheers (seasons six until the finale) COULD be watched without viewing the earlier Shelly Long episodes, as the writers pushed Lilith/Fraiser to the forefront to cope with the removal of the Sam/Diane plotline.

But Cheers is worth watching; just power through the first two seasons and by season four things will be good
>>
I watched Frasier in order up until around the part where Nigel dumped Maris or whoever his wife was.

Pretty okay comedy. For some reason Frasier reminds me of Stefan Molyneux. Guy runs a call-in show and interacts with normies, hilarity/sadness ensues.

Any season where they go to La Cigar Volant

I fucking hate Cheers. Its a lot more mean spirited in it's humour than Fraiser is and Carla is one of the most despicable women in TV history. There are some good episodes here and there but overall I found most of it to be pretty tame. The fact that Carla is such an ugly person within and without kind of ruin it for me.

Its a lot sexier than Fraiser though, and Shelly Long, Kirsty Alley and Bebe Neuwerth almost make it bearable.

He was always a snob trying to tone himself down for the bar. Returning to Seattle and hanging out with Niles just let him be his true self.

Season 1 for sure. Frasier and Niles were talking about Jung and Hume and Freud and shit constantly.
>>
Did Frasier watch PBS, A&E, or Bravo?
>>
>>87674909
I have to agree with Niles though. Jung was far better than Freud.
>>
>>87675005
No shit. Freud was a psued.

there are two irrefutable facts:

fact #2: op is a pretentious idiot
>>

this.

Yeah Season 1 was far away the most patrician. The rest of the seasons were just standard sitcom fare with the occasional reference to classical music or art.

Frasier is my favorite anime

>>87675728
S2 is less patrish though. Better plots, but less kino references and allusions.
>>
>>87676400

Except that's not even true.
>>
>>87676492
Prove it
>>
>>87676503

Go watch the seasons again. I don't even know where the claim that they make more allusions in S1 even comes from. They talk a bit more about psychology but the references aren't as woven into the dialogue as they are in later seasons.
>>
>>87676536
This. Most of those direct discussions of psychology in Season 1 help with character defining. Though there's definitely a point where the nature of the dialogue takes a hit.

Lets be honest here. There is nothing intellectual about Frasier. All the references are as surface-level as possible. Like how 90% of the time he references a psychologist its Freud, the most well-known of all time. What makes Frasier great is the witty and hilarious scenarios, not the cheap references that occur as they play out.
