There are so many good ones. I loved Ham Radio where Frasier directed a radio mystery.... Nightmare Inn. One of the funniest episodes!
Another that stands out is Three Valentines. My favorite is part 1 with Niles getting ready for his date.
I love all of the Christmas shows.
What are some of your faves?

Those are all good ones. I agree about the Nanny G episode. I laughed so hard I was crying! Roz sitting in the audience when she sees Frasier on stage was priceless. You can just read her thoughts.
The ensemble was indeed a master class of TV chemistry!
"I too liked Nightmare Inn. The food critic's refusal to die was one of his best moments.
The ensemble of characters was a master class of TV chemistry."
I just mentioned liking the Gil Chesterton character, and I see him mentioned here too :)
I'll have to catch this episode. I've probably seen it but it's been a while so my memory is fuzzy. But I completely agree. Not only was the dialogue so great on the show, but the actors worked so well together and delivered those lines perfectly. It's no wonder why it dominated the Emmy awards for years.

I'm not good at remembering the names of the episodes, but when you mentioned "Ham Radio", it reminded me of another one I really liked. It's where Frasier has to come up with a radio station jingle, and of course, he has to make it over-the-top and Wagnerian. Like he was really channeling the spirits of Orson Welles, Sondheim and Gershwin, for what should really be a small jingle.
I also liked that snooty Gil Chesterton character, the station food critic. His lines were always so funny and condescending. I wished they used him more.

Oh, I remember that one! That was so funny. Frasier always went so big and over the top with things and Martin cut through the crap.
One of my favorites is Part 1 and part 2 called Something Borrowed, Someone Blue. The way they combine the comedy with the drama is outstanding.
shareThe first one that came to mind was 'To Kill a Talking Bird.' Niles hosts a dinner party for his new neighbors, but he ends up with a large bird stuck to the top of his head. That one had me laughing so hard!
'Shrink Rap' is funny. Frasier and Niles go to couples therapy when they can't run a psychiatric practice together.
So typical of anything that Niles and Frasier try....
Remember The Happy Brothers? Food Service was definitely NOT their thing! Martin knew it.. LOL!
Since I saw this show mentioned in the trending bar, I am getting reacquainted with the episodes. There is a station that runs episodes here, but they are on in the middle of the night. I've caught a few of them.
I've watched the few episodes that I could find on youtube and a whole bunch of "best of" segments. I watched some of the segments from the French restaurant. Niles trying to pound those eels while they were still in the tank. He wasn't taking them out until, "I'm sure they're dead!"
The kitchen staff deserts them and Frasier tries to push the new specialty of the house, scrambled eggs!
I'd forgotten how many funny episodes there were. Frasier trying to get some sleep in the daytime since he has to do his show at night and being so cranky. Niles comes in and accidentally fires off a starter pistol.
Any scene with the two brothers is hilarious.
I agree. The two were always funny together but Martin was fantastic with his common sense.
Martin has the best Christmas Spirit. I love just about each Holiday show through the years. It was always funny to see frasier trying to decorate his home in an understated way and Martin would go all out making it a crazy quilt of Christmas.
We watch it on Netflix.
They're all so good! Like others said, Nightmare Inn was awesome.
4x22 - Are You Being Served?, where Niles had the hot and foamy explode was funny.
6x14 - Three Valentine's, where Niles is pressing his trousers, passes out, and lights Frasier's apartment on fire. Had me crying from laughter!
9x07 - Bla Z Boy - Frasier vs. Martin and his chair. The whole episode was amazing.
LOVED the first part of Three Valentines with Niles. That was the best segment of that episode,
