The Devil and Dr. Phil is not a horrible episode of Frasier overall, but it’s use of Phil McGraw as a guest star left so much to be desired that it almost ruined the entire episode.
I figured it could be fun to have a look at why Frasier fans dislike Phil’s appearance on the show so much, and what could have been changed to fix it.
In my The Worst Episode of Frasier video, I briefly mentioned my love for the farcical Halloween episode from season 5 of Frasier.
I figured that after making a video about my least favorite episode of Frasier, I should make a positive video about one of my favorites as well.
In the video I refer to the Halloween episode as a comedy of errors, which was originally a William Shakespeare play. The term is now the name of a subgenre of farces which focuses more on misunderstandings and less on slapstick than a typical farce.
