    This episode was the first in the reboot to feel like it may have actually surpassed the original. It had that special sauce : twins! Fake accents! Mistaken identities! Everything a Frasier party could need. I laughed out loud several times.

    I also began to appreciate something I hadn't noticed in the first few episodes: in contrast to the original Frasier series, this series is fully G-rated. The original was great, but so much of it was double entendres, sex jokes, suspected homosexuality jokes, etc. The new series - and I think this is extraordinary and also difficult to do well - is funny without any of that. My seven year old can watch with me, and there's nothing even slightly objectionable. But it's still hilarious. Kudos to the production and writing team for that.
