Frasier season 2, 7 Jul 2003
A fantastic box set. I had only seen about 3 of these Frasiers before I bought the set, and I was extremely pleased to find how many new and brilliant episodes there were. The box set contains the following episodes: 1 - Slow Tango In South Seattle Frasier discovers that an old acquaintance from Boston has written a steamy romance novel that includes an incident from Frasier's life, an affair with his piano teacher when he was only 17. Fearing the exposure could embarrass his teacher; Frasier pays her a visit, and finds she's not quite what he expected. 2 - The Unkindest Cut Of All After Eddie impregnates a neighbor's dog, it's decided it's time for Eddie to get neutered. As Niles and Frasier try to catch Eddie, he flees out the door and into Seattle. 3 - The Matchmaker Frasier sets up a date for Daphne with the new station manager Tom, unaware that Tom is gay and believes he's actually dating Frasier. 4 - Flour Child With Niles unsure he's ready for the responsibilities of fatherhood, he takes to carrying a ten pound sack of flour around Seattle to simulate a child 5 - Duke's, We Hardly Knew You Niles and Frasier can't bring themselves to tell Martin that they're investors in the group tearing down his favorite bar. 6 - The Botched Language Of Cranes Frasier's advice to a caller prompts criticism after he offends all of Seattle. To get back in their good graces, Frasier agrees to emcee a charity benefit, which in true Crane style only leads to further calamity. 7 - The Candidate Frasier agrees to make a television commercial for his candidate of choice in a local election, only to learn some very distressing information moments before they film 8 - Adventures in Paradise (1) Frasier takes a date to Bora Bora... and runs into an unexpected person 9 - Adventures in Paradise (2) Frasier makes a fool of himself in Bora Bora, obsessed with one-upping Lilith. 10 - Burying a Grudge While visiting Maris at the hospital (she's having a face-lift), Frasier finds Martin's old partner Artie. He convinces Martin, who hasn't spoken with Artie in years, to patch up their differences. 11 - Seat Of Power Frasier calls in a plumber who just happens to be Danny Kriezel, the bully who terrorized Niles back in high school. 12 - Roz in the Doghouse Roz accepts an offer from Bulldog to produce his sports show, ignoring Frasier's protests that Bulldog's only trying to seduce Roz. 13 - Retirement Is Murder Martin tries to solve a case he's been unable to close for years, the "Weeping Lotus" murder, involving a prostitute, a cop, and a monkey. 14 - Fool Me Once, Shame On You, Fool Me Twice A conniving man steals Frasier's briefcase, then goes around Seattle impersonating Frasier. 15 - You Scratch My Book Frasier agrees to write an introduction to a new book by a pop psychologist. After reading the book, Frasier realizes he can't endorse it, but he's so attracted to Dr. Honey he can't find a way to turn her down. 16 - The Show Where Sam Shows Up Frasier's old friend from Boston, Sam Malone, drops in on Frasier with a problem, he was supposed to be married the day before and couldn't go through with it. Frasier believes he can solve all of Sam's problems, until he meets his fiancée. 17 - Daphne's Room Daphne decides to move out of the Crane residence after Frasier continually invades the privacy of her room. 18 - The Club Niles and Frasier sabotage each other's chances for acceptance into Seattle's prestigious Empire Club 19 - Someone To Watch Over Me Frasier becomes convinced a crazy fan is stalking him and hires a female bodyguard to protect him at the SeaBea broadcasting awards. 20 - Breaking The Ice Frasier realizes that his father has never told Frasier he loves him, so Frasier tags along with Niles and Martin on an ice-fishing trip to try to get closer to his father. 21 - An Affair To Forget Niles takes up a sword to fence for Maris' honor, after a caller to Frasier's show gives Frasier the idea that Maris is having an affair with her fencing instructor. 22 - Agents In America, Part III On Bebe's advice, Frasier stages a "sick out" to finagle a pay raise. After the station paints over his parking space, cleans out his cubicle, and auditions replacements, Frasier demands that Bebe negotiate. Of course with Bebe, negotiations are never simple. 23 - The Innkeepers Frasier and Niles open their own restaurant "Les Frères Heureux" or "The Happy Brothers". When Opening Night arrives, everything that can go wrong does. 24 - Dark Victory Martin's birthday finds everyone in a bad mood. Daphne and Martin are arguing, Niles loses a patient because of Frasier, etc. A citywide power outage does nothing to soothe jangled nerves. Frasier uses his professional training to help bring everyone together.

A Season to Remember!, 25 Feb 2002
By A Customer
"Frasier" was still finding its feet during Season 2, but it contains some of the all-time great episodes, such as "An Affair to Forget", "The Inkeepers" and the superb "Breaking the Ice"; it also introduced Joe Keenan, who gave us "The Matchmaker", so for these episodes alone, Season 2 deserves 5 stars.

Excellent..., 20 Jun 2002
By A Customer
This Frasier boxed set comprises some of the best comedic writing of our times. David Angell (tragically died in the September 11th atrocities) Joe Keenan and Peter Casey come out with some of the best one-liners and intellectual humour at any situation and this really gives Frasier the "edge" over the rest of the sitcom masses.By far the best episode in the set is "Seat Of Power," where Niles and Frasier confront their old schoolyard bullies - the Kriezel Brothers. Buy this video!
