| I am afraid that none of the four non Lilith episodes are particularly good or even above average. Of course it was nice to see the character from the old Cheers in a new environment but other than that…
So if I had to choose the best one it would have to be one with Lilith, and my favorite would be A Lilith Thanksgiving. All the more interesting as it is reminiscent of a Cheers episode where Diane and Sam keep coming back to see a marriage counsellor, until crazy with annoyance he consents to declare that Sam and Diane, not only belong with each other but are perfect for one another. | |

| On the whole I don't like any of them much as none of these characters really fit into Frasier's new life. To me, Lilith is a one-dimensional character and, although still part of Frasier's life, IMO has too many appearances on the show and the chemistry with Frasier is never that good. The best ones are where Freddie is involved - I quite like Star Mitzvah and War of the Words.
The best thing about Lilith though is the reactions of Niles, Martin and Daphne to her imminent arrivals! | |

It's true that her character was pretty exaggerated in Frasier, at least in the beginning, but later she was put in situations where we saw different sides of her personality. I love Room Service, especially the part where they all try to analyse why Lilith slept with Niles. The Apparent Trap is also great, as is Don Juan in Hell part 2, which is missing from the list. As for non-Lilith episodes, I like to watch the ones with Woody and Sam sometimes, but I think I've seen Cheerful Goodbyes only once and didn't like it at all. | |

Cheerful Goodbyes was a "wink wink" episode meant to please the fans of Cheers and therefore it was filled with Cheers clichés and allusions. The problem is that they did a really bad job of it. Of course the episode would seem even more pointless to someone unfamiliar with the series. | |

| I don't remember them in great detail, but I always found Sam pretty funny in Cheers.
I do find myself frequently repeating Cliff's line to Niles in Cheerful Goodbyes though
"Quite a suit you got there buddy boy! What'd it cost you, over $100 I bet?" | |

| I like The Show Where Lilith Comes Back, mainly because of Lilith's little put downs. She always has something bad to say about Martin or Niles. I think I'm starting to like her. Then we see that she can be nice and that she is human after all, when she tries to get back with Frasier and gets upset when he says he doesn't want to get back together with her. | |

| The great thing about Frasier is that there are so many little moments, even in lesser episodes.
Diane's play in her show was, I thought, pretty hilarious, especially the first time you see it and aren't expecting it. Cliff was pretty funny in Cheerful Goodbyes (although I really do lament the fact that they didn't use the actual Cheers bar setting for that show).
My favorite? Not sure, I'd need to rewatch them all together. Almost certainly a Lilith one, though! | |

| Cheers is my favorite sit com with Frasier running second. "The Show Where Sam Shows Up" probably, but 'Cheerful Goodbyes' brings a lot of the Cheers cast back and a lot of memories. And yes, Cliff Claven is a great character! So many great characters in the Cheers cast! | |
