Frasier (TV Series) Don Juan in Hell: Part 2 (2001) User Reviews

Neil Simon wrote this first

This is one of the better episode of Frasier. It was great to see Lilith Sternin and Diane Crane again. And Rita Wilson was great as Frasier's mother. Although they might have found a better actress to play Frasier's first girlfriend.

But this episode was clearly based on Neil Simon's play and TV movie "Jake's Women" of 1996. Just like Frasier, Jake imagines himself talking to all the women from his past. That was five years before this episode of Frasier aired.

Kudos to the Frasier writers for producing this fine episode. But why do I feel that Neil Simon should get a piece of your royalty checks?

Don Juan in Hell: Part 2

[studioAT · 8/10 · 11 November 2022]

This is better. I'm all for the character of Frasier delving deep into his soul, but the way they handled it in the eighth series was so serious and dull it didn't feel like a sitcom at all. I'll be haunted by the sight of Dr Tewkesbury in Roz's robe for a long time yet.

Thankfully as I mentioned, here it is dealt with in a much more creative, funny way, and it's not a bad episode in general actually too. Here's hoping that the ninth series of the show is a marked improvement on the last.

Yes, Lana and Kirby are annoying, but there are enough moments here that prove to be entertaining and well played out.

The very best episode of Frasier.

Aside from the wonderful cameo parts of all the old leading ladies of both Cheers' and Frasier's story arc's lines, the viewer is treated to a very intimate and self-disparaging personal re-evaluation of the core weaknesses of the protagonist. In this episode, by far the best part is the cohesive bond these women create regarding the complexity of Frasier's personality as they articulate his past foibles, exploits, successes and failures. For a 80s-90s sitcom, this episode absolutely sparkles in terms of character definition and expansion of the Frasier arch not to mention a very understated benchline is shown possible for evening television. It's sad that there were only two more tough seasons after this, but this episode clearly connects the viewer to the heart and motivation of the prime character by sincere and deep humor darkly cloaked in vulnerability. I miss television that speaks to my soul like this as I identify often with Frasier madcap antics. Because, maybe everyone, has a small bit of insecure and distraught Frasier in them and we all need to hear how silly we are and how we will each still be okay in the end if we are honest with ourselves regarding hurt, pain, relationships, forgiveness and reconciliation. Highest marks to this episode.

One of the best episodes I ever watch in my life

One of the best episodes I ever watch in my life. It's exposed the battle that occurred in each of us unconscious mind in avery creative way using some of Sigmund Freud ideas .

We Are Everyone We've Been

[Hitchcoc · 10/10 · 25 October 2019]

Frasier searches the depths of his soul to root out his failing to find that one person to love. So in come the characters we already know and a couple others. Diane and Lilith hold forth in his conscious, his mother appears, and his first wife. This is a truly intelligent script without being terribly preachy. Frasier has reached a point where he loves without introspection and then does some outrageous thing to screw things up. This was precipitated by his recent interactions with Claire and Lana.

Great episode

[adamslomo · 10/10 · 31 August 2021]

This episode gave us the root cause of Frasier dumping ladies who are perfect for him. His internal monologues was perfect shown as his debates this problem with his past female female partners subconsciously. It reminds me of how Mr Robot and Bojack horseman use such methods to help viewers understand the reasons why the protagonists do things they do which we didn't understand initially. A very nice episode btw.

Best episode of frasier so far.

[mohsenili · 10/10 · 14 February 2023]

It was the best episode of frasier so far for me of course. For many of us it has happened. I just wish it didn't have the sound of laugh it wasn't funny it was sad. It was real. It was heartbreaking. It was a pure drama. The way it was shown was excellent . His imagination and other stuff made to have memory lane down bojack horseman which was the saddest funny series of all time again i say for me. I wish i had seen this series years before so maybe i could have avoided some similar things which has happened to my life i wish in the rest of the series it has a solution for me. Or i will just left in the blank. That was a great episode that is all i can say.

The Worst Episode Of Frasier So Far

[film_poster_fan · 1/10 · 19 September 2021]

Season Nine of the series is not off to a good start if this second part of a two part episode is any indication. The writing, the acting, and especially the direction are all quite poor. The scenes where Shelley Long, Bebe Neuwirth, and Rita Wilson are all screaming at Kelsey Grammer and talking over one another are particularly difficult to watch. It does does get better from here, having viewed all eleven seasons.
