Breaking in Is Hard to Do (#9.7)
ComedyFan201019 June 2014
Warning: Spoilers
The Cranes have a bad news: their son is only of average intelligence. They decide it may have something to do with them not being with him all day. \They decide one will be a caregiver. First Lilith tries but it doesn't work out too well. And then Frasier does and brings Frederick to Cheers, but this is how he finally says his first word.

A Cranes episode! Loved it. So many great moments. Like when they were fighting whose gene pool is less good. How they were discussing who will stay with him. That great sentence Lilith said when asking Sam for advice, how it all worked out and his first word.

The second story about Rebecca wanting to get into prison to have sex with Robin and teaming up with Carla was also a great one.

Let's Talk!

A couple of fun plots. Carla talks Rebecca into going to the prison to see Robin, with sex the target. Meanwhile, the Cranes have found out that their little boy may be average. This is devastating to them. There is one two second thing that makes this all worthwhile.

They deserve each other,but we deserve better!

This is a bland,ho-hum episode that doesn't really have a lot going for it.

To begin with,the Frasier character is an arrogant,pompous character that can be rather annoying. However,Frasier usually does manage to add some warmth,good cheer and humor to the scenes and episodes he is in.

Frasier's wife Lileth is sort of like a female version of Frasier without most of the charming parts. She is dull,dry,and she comes across as being pretty cold. (Not always,not every-single appearance is she like this,but she is definitely this way most of the time.)

Trying to carry an entire episode on the personalities of these two pompous dullards is simply asking too much.

The two characters are interesting curiosities that do provide some occasional,ironic comic-relief but they are hardly interesting-enough to carry an entire episode.

To make matters even-worse,in this episode,these two characters are extremely worried about something that is actually quite ridiculous for several obvious reasons.

They are worrying about a matter that they have hardly-any control over,many,many years before any normal person would ever even start to think about it.

The very idea of them bringing their worries about this nonsense into a barroom,of all places,is beyond belief-particularly considering how snobbish they seem to enjoy acting.

In small doses,these two characters are mildly tolerable. Expecting them to carry an entire episode is expecting too much,because they simply aren't that interesting.

This is a bland,boring,forgettable episode. 5/10 or less.
