10 Recent TV Moments That Made No Sense

Now to be completely fair to the recently concluded Frasier revival, it was actually a good deal better than most were expecting - especially considering the absence of Frasier's (Kelsey Grammer) brother Niles (David Hyde Pierce).

But the series did occasionally get a little too sitcom-y for its own good, as evidenced by its eighth episode, where it's revealed that whenever Frasier's firefighter son Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott) gets drunk, he ditches the working class facade he adopts in order to fit in with his co-workers and gets incredibly erudite, pontificating on highfalutin subjects much to his colleagues' amusement.

It's certainly a fun idea, albeit one that's shown a little too cartoonishly in the episode, as if to suggest that poor Freddy has quite literally sublimated his "real" personality when sober and is basically playing a "character" for most of his right-minded life.

It's more depressing than funny, honestly, and stretches the credibility of his character close to snapping point, especially as this revelation is rather soundly ignored in the series' two remaining episodes.
