Frasier (TV Series) Roz in the Doghouse (1995) User Reviews

Frasier's Ego Takes a Licking

[Hitchcoc · 7/10 · 29 September 2019]

When Bulldog asks Roz to produce his show, Frasier responds with disdain for her abilities and warns her that Bulldog's intentions are far from pure. He also says that any idiot could do her job. So she quits. The people that begin to do her job are terrible. Meanwhile, she is the perfect partner for the on-air Bulldog. But things get a lot more complicated.

A rare dated episode

Frasier is such a good show because so much of it stands up throughout the decades and unlike other 90's sit-coms there isn't all that much cringe inducing material. This episode is a rare exception. Bulldog's and Roz's dynamic today is less funny and more headache inducing because workplace sexual harassment is correctly no longer viewed as a mere lark. This dynamic takes place in other episodes but the moments of it are fleeting. This episode is centered on it however and it just isn't funny because of the zeitgeist moving on.

The Frasier and Roz fight also feels a little forced to me. This is still a entertaining 22 minutes but this is one of the weakest episodes in the first several years of the show.

A rare Roz centred episode

It always seems bizarre to me that such a great character as Roz is so criminally underused in many 'Frasier' episodes.

However when given an episode that features her heavily we are reminded not only of how good the character is but also what a talented comedienne Peri Gilpin is too.

It's testament to the show as a spin-off that not only are the supporting characters strong enough to hold their own in scenes without Frasier, but also whole plots. This was a luxury that the 'Joey' spin-off didn't have.

A good episode centring on an underused character.
