None of that really bothers me though. I pretty much just put it down to "stuff that happens in TV Land." Obviously there are a few things that rankle me about this show (the whole Crucible issue for one) but mostly I try to just go with the flow.

What's better than a perfect episode?
An episode with one tiny flaw we can pick at all evening

That was great how over the years there were so many "references" and hidden meanings. Too bad we weren't always aware of what they were.
For instance, I once saw a list of all the celebrities that "called in" to the radio show. It's a shame we didn't know who they were before the show, because there were only a few I recognized during the call.

If this was an off-topic thread I'd be all over that but I shall refrain.

Every time I watch this ep, I wonder if the writers intended for us to draw our own conclusions regarding Frasier and Niles's biological father. At the end when Martin asks Leland how much he loved Hester, it was pretty obvious to Leland what Martin was getting at and perhaps Leland only said he was gay to spare Martin's feelings.
It would explain something about Hester I never understood. Why didn't she try to get the boys to spend more quality time with Martin doing things Martin enjoyed? That never made sense to me given the fact it obviously bothered Martin a great deal. Perhaps because Leland was their father and Hester was content to let them be like their real father. Maybe Leland didn't know he was their father or even if he did, he and Hester didn't want to hurt Martin by bringing it out in the open.
I wondered why the writers chose to have Hester have an affair in the first place (although it was with someone other than Leland) and why didn't Hester try to protect the kids from some of the "bullying" about their actions and the way they dressed.
We know the writers sometimes had little "hidden meanings" in the scripts. Like the name "Hester", I had never heard of that name and I looked it up and found "Hester" was the name of the woman everyone condemned in the book "the Scarlet Letter".....just thinking...what if?

I disagree, taste and worldly manners are a product of upbringing and society, not to mention chance encounters, not genetics. My brother and I have absolutely nothing in common, yet we look so much alike that if not for the age difference people would likely mistake one for another. In fact it did happen a couple of times in spite of said age difference (he's 12 years older). Anyway, People who like the same things, tend to frequent the same kind of crowd and ultimately to behave the same way, there's nothing mysterious in that.

I'm saying if Hester had an affair with Leland and she believed the boys were his, she might have been content to let them be brought up the way she and Leland would probably raise them. I always wondered why she didn't try to introduce the kids to more of the things Martin enjoyed as well as the things she enjoyed.

I couldn't stomach the thought of fish eggs myself (I don't know why).
Is Roz's addiction well founded?

That's because you have limited experience with English cooking, food of the Gods
