Frasier. So much misogyny.
I didn’t discover frasier until ~5 years ago, but I just love it.
The character frasier is definitely misogynist. But isn’t that the point? Laughing at a pompous and deeply flawed individual was the whole idea, I thought.
Same, I grew up knowing about Frasier, but it’s always “old bald man” show to me. But several years ago (7ish?), I was bored and started a nostalgia trip and I loved it. Frasier and Niles is just perfect. I took a few year break in between and binged it about 3 years ago.
I haven’t watched that in many years, but I thought that was the point. We have this very intelligent guy who has become elitist, snobbish, misogynistic, and just plain awkward , getting hit with a healthy dose of reality. His faults are the point, the payoff is where there’s character development, where he becomes more human.
…. Then they needed Niles to come in and play the role Frazier once owned
