As Niles tries to have a dinner party to win some culinary award, there is a dead seal on the beach and it smells terrible. So he and Frasier dress it up and dump it in the ocean. Soon all the pretentious guests show up and the hijinks start. Don't miss this one, especially the last five minutes.

What are we wanting? Not every episode can be Mary Richards at Chuckles the Clown's funeral, now can it?
Funnier bit must be episode of WKRP, Turkey's Away, is holding up way more than any episode of Mary Tyler Moore or nearly any other comedy episode over the decades.
So I enjoyed the silliness, the quirkiness of this episode. The never-ending effort to get that dead seal off the beach so the Crane brothers could have their elegant seaside dinner.
One of the most amusing parts of the episode was truly the neighbor Gretchen Koontz.
It seems Maris was in Gretchen's falconry class and Gretchen became smitten with her and was now always dropping by.
The setup just amused me to absolutely no end. The frail, anemic Maris in a falconry class taught by this grinning garish woman who, when smiling, was reminiscent to the Joker.
February of 2017, this site did away with all these questioning boards on all these movies and actors.
There was endless, mindless page after page queries and threads on the soccer ball Wilson from Swept Away.
Even worse was people's discussions on the tv show Lost.
Someone chimed in they worked on the show and knew the outcome and there were just those who couldn't stand it and insisted they were being misled, going so far as to concoct bogus names and logging in under them.
The first commenter being "Lostasnwers" the next person (or TWO!) would call themselves "Lotsanswers" and so on offering totally made-up answers, whether the first commenter was telling the truth or not.
One of the last postings I made was about this very episode, entitled The Seal Who Came To Dinner.
With the boards slated now to vanish in a mere 24 hours, I saw where I had received a response. What oh, I thought.
So I clicked on the response to see what they had to say and was subjected to, "It wasn't The Seal Who Came To Dinner, it was. An Affair To Forget.
It wasn't Gretchen the falconry instructor it was Gunnar the fencing instructor.
Seems like there was probably one more little correction, probably like,
It wasn't season 6, episode 8, it was season 2, episode 21.
And now I submitted my very last IMDB response and told this person their conduct was why imdb was shutting down their commentary boards, because of little antics like he was displaying.
I've often wondered about that person over the years now. If he received that final message or not.
