Penis jokes abound in this episode, which features Frasier having second thoughts about his son's circumcision. Baby Boy Crane is officially named Frederick in this episode- and he appears in the bar hidden in slings and concealed under a raincoat. I think the producers weren't sure how they were going to handle a baby in a tavern and felt invisibility was the smartest way to go.

It's a rather predictable plot, what with the cold feet and Frasier kidnapping his own child, and the highlight of the episode is definitely Cliff's speech about the tribal customs in coming-of-age ceremonies. You can see George Wendt and Ted Danson openly cracking up when he finally delivers the legendary punchline.

The two B-stories this week feature Carla lobbying to have her dead husband's hockey number retired and Rebecca throwing a retirement party for a corporate lackey. The Carla storyline goes nowhere- with few laughs- while Rebecca's subplot is a true gem. Every line is funny as the miserable retiree complains about his fate and Rebecca has to hide her repulsion.

Overall a very good episode that everyone will like. Well... except Bob.

GRADE: A-

The Cranes are circumcising their baby. All the guys are invited but they don't go. And Frasier has second thoughts so he keeps on kidnapping his baby. Carla works on the petition regarding her dead husband. And Rebecca throws another corporate party but is not too excited. But when one of the vice presidents shows up she tries to make it look greater than it was.

Nothing too special in this episode. Just three small story lines. My favorite is of course the one of Frasier's kid being circumcised. But it is nothing special either. A kind of boring story which is saved by brilliant characters. Same one can say about Rebecca's story. So boring yet has a few good lines.
