Featured review
It is good but I wished the show took a bigger risk.
Frasier always was a mild parody of latte liberals and a few episodes in the show tackle this aspect head on. This is the most overt episode for the first several years in that regard. It is all in good fun and the cultural clashes between Martin and Niles/Frasier are funny enough. But I wish the show didn't come up with such a goofy political "scandal" to knee-cap the liberal. The right-wing candidate was allowed to be a law and order guy so why couldn't the liberal be an extreme environmentalist? Anti-Zionist?
I just wish the episode got a bit more specific here.
