About 65%-70% for me - nowhere near as bad as it's reputation suggests.
I gave it 35% on the R&R section, which was quite generous compared to Jocelyn's 30%!
Stu also revised his rating down from 62/63% to 45% I think. By far the lowest score he's given any episode in his capsule reviews.

I think my lowest score is for 'A Day in May' with a fairly generous 49%.

He's since changed both scores to more accurately reflect their quality.

But even after that when Niles and Frasier aren't speaking to each other and Niles utters the line "You look stupid in a t-shirt!" And Frasier offering Niles the muffin! It's all just so funny!

I know - it's actually a top-10 episode for me. Brilliantly hilarious stuff.

But horribly out of character. 'Frasier' has always prided itself on wit, but we end up with is Frasier and Niles actually using physical violence on one another. The comedy stems from character's being really bitchy and nasty to one another, and Frasier seems unlikeable. 'Crap' and 'Freakin' aren't words that you hear him use on a regular basis, and I'm glad of that.
I can't talk though. It used to rank as one of my all-time favourites. Thank God I never wrote a review for it on the R&R section. Still, I've seen the light... but that's debatable!

Damn right it's debateable! All that 24 and Six Feet Under watching has damaged your usually-accurate opinion on comedy!

I like it, it's a funny ep. But I used to think it was a classic and some of the OOC stuff has lessened it's greatness for me. I'd give it about 80% now, I reckon.

Is that a compliment?
And if it's debatable, let's debate - bring it on Ducky, you've got nothing!

Well, now you've gone and scared him! A duck cannot stand up to the harsh wrath of an "Author Author" hater!

I rank it just below Shrink Rap in the sibling rivalry category of episodes.
Not sure it would hit my top 10 but it comes close.
Frasier and Niles being nasty to each other happens more than once and this is the first time you see it. In Shrink Rap they are nasty to each other and Frasier's deal with the bathroom key is just as juvenile as most of the stuff in Author, Author! "Right here buddy boy!!!"
The episode gets and A grade from me for sure and possibly an A+. 95%!

Oh come on....Ducky can take it!
BEWARE THE WRATH OF THE DUCKY!!!!
I love Shrink Rap. It makes my Top 10 probably - just hilarious! Now that's how the sibling rivalry should be done.

But they are still nasty to each other! Frasier throws a freakin' plant through the window! THAT'S not OOC?

LOL! Although I must admit, that my hatred for The Crucible and Deathtrap is the result of OOC stuff so I guess it's just WHICH OOC stuff we like!
Actually, I take that back about Deathtrap. My hatred for that is the entire premise of the episode. Much like Fraternal Schwinns.

''Deathtrap'' is awful. Your opinion is wrong! Two against one.
