With dad and son facing off and Daphne offering her humorous third-party, third-culture take on things, it made for more dry humor. With the X-Files, it was Seasons 1+2 that had this halfway-house approach, Season 3 onwards was pretty much a straight expand. A number of the shows also don’t seem as crisply written as the best episodes from earlier seasons, and yet one of my favorite episodes, “Caught in the Act,” aired as Episode 15 in Season 11.Audio Commentary: For "The Good Son (Pilot):" Executive Producers/Co-Creators Peter Casey and David Lee.

What I would have wanted for any live action TV episode that 1st aired from 1993-onward is that their film framing be done for 16:9 safe.

But the DVDs had a few minutes of cut footage added for many episodes while the blus were same as broadcast and I preferred to have the content, so I stuck with the DVDs.In Seattle, fresh from a divorce from his domineering wife Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth), Frasier found a fresh start as a Dr. At home, the brandy-oriented Frasier met his match with his blue-collar dad (John Mahoney), a Ballantine-loving ex-cop who walks with a limp and has a live-in therapist, a Brit named Daphne (Jane Leeves).
