I hope this season produces as interesting results as the previous ones have. For me personally, there have been a couple of unexpected results, which is great.

Happy voting!

Basically, I don't like season 8. In the "Ultimate season..." thread, I stuck down 'Frasier's Edge' for S8, but I don't like it. I'll need to give it more thought before casting my vote here...

ATDRAWTS for me. I've changed my mind a few times over the years though. I used to rate Daphne Returns as the best but I'm not so keen on it now. I loved the clips of old scenes though, but that's a bit of an indictment of the episode itself really.

I always enjoy The Show Must Go Off too even though it has it's faults but actually my favourite episode of this season is probably A Passing Fancy and if that was an option by itself I would have voted for it. I think you were right to show them as one double episode though Nervosa, they were broadcast like that in the US. APF wa written by Jon Sherman, definitely my favourite writer of the O'Shannon years.

ATDRAWTS was also the last episode David Angel's helped write too, so there's sentimental reasons for voting for it as well I think.

This time last year, I genuinely hated Season 8 (as I'm sure many will remember), but on re-watching the DVD in the summer, I realised it wasn't too bad after all. It's still definitely the weakest season, but it does produce its share of enjoyable episodes, although no true classics IMO.

Highlights include 'Taking Liberties', 'Daphne Returns' and 'A Passing Fancy', but 'The Show Must Go Off' wins for me. Hilarious - and the end felt like typical classic Frasier to me. Derek Jacobi (soon to be in Doctor Who, plug) was superb.

ATDRAWTS for me.

It's a close call between Dish and Cranes Go Caribbean but I think I like Caribbean mostly because of the lead in to Don Juan in Hell.

I also like The Show Must Go Off, Hungry Heart, Sliding Frasiers and The Bad Son.

Probably one of my least favorite seasons

Hungry Heart, probably the funniest of the season IMO.

I quite liked The Show Must Go Off, The New Friend, Hooping Cranes and Daphne Returns, but I like Taking Liberties most.

I finally vote for Hooping Cranes. I suppose it's enjoyable to watch and the best of a bad lot.

It's interesting to see that this season has received the least amount of votes so far. A reflection of its popularity....

Yeah, I've found the same thing myself about S8 polls in the past. It just doesn't fire people's imagination for some inexplicable reason! :lol:

Taking Liberties for me, just edges out And The Dish Ran Away With The Spoon.
