Cheers (TV Series) Dinner at Eight-ish (1987) User Reviews

Why shrinks should never marry

[edward-a-bowden · 8/10 · 13 May 2020]

This is a wonderful episode and was the whole basis for Frasier getting his own show.

Bebe Neuwirth is beautiful, her Lilith a fascinating mix of terrifying and sex-crazed, and Kelsey Grammer's Frasier is brilliantly neurotic.

The show is standard farce, with characters taking turns to storm off set as the argument progresses, but because the characters of Lilith and Frasier are relatively new it feels fresh.

Dinner from Hell

[Hitchcoc · 9/10 · 24 August 2019]

This is a very funny episode. Frasier and Lilith decide to move in together and ask Sam and Diane over for their first dinner. Frasier hasn't been entirely honest with Lilith and they begin to spar. When Sam and Diane come, all Sam can think about are the chips and the dip. Soon each couple is exposing his or her dirty linen and surprising the others. There is a subplot with Cliff babysitting Carla's kids.

Dinner at Eight-ish (#5.20)

[ComedyFan2010 · 10/10 · 22 May 2014]

Frasier and Lilith decided to move in together and invite Diane and Sam to have dinner with them to celebrate it. Before the guests arrive Lilith and Frasier already have a fight about who wanted to move in first. After more is to come including the relationship details of Diane and Frasier coming out.

Definitely my favorite episode so far. Frasier is my favorite character and Lilith is an absolutely perfect partner for him. I sure would love to see more about them than Sam and Diane. The way they talk make one laugh a lot. All those little outbursts by every character were an absolute perfection.

Season 5 / Epi20 and possibly the best at this point?

Frasier and a pretty Lilith have Sam/Diane over for dinner and it's a classic. I'm curious to see the change in Lilith as i remember being pale and in black, she looked great.
