Agreed - Frasier is superb at sharply but gently taking on not so much gays themselves but the gay situation - some of its funniest and most affecting episodes deal with gays and straights getting along together, or not - the one where Martin pretends to be gay to avoid a woman who is attracted to him and ends up "dating" her gay relative - the one where Frasier brings his boss home to meet Daphne, not realizing that the man is gay and is interested in Frasier himself - great stuff....
"But Niles? - Come on..."......
Some of my favorite episodes! Also the ski lodge gay “Guy” one.
Yeah, “Dad wanted to be the one to tell you but I won the coin toss” and Frasier saying “But he [his boss, forget the name] isn’t gay!” And Niles responds, “He seems to be under that impression.” Lol.
And of course the gay bar episode where Frasier knows the bartender by name because he is his furniture polisher or some such. And he gets outed. Hilarious.
