Episode Rankings: Frasier

I don't think I need to say that Frasier is a fantastic sitcom. It's smart, well-acted, and filled with brilliant farcical episodes. At its best, Frasier feels almost Rube Goldberg-ian, with every single line managing to pay off in the second half of the episode in the funniest way possible. This is my ranking of all the Frasier episodes in Seasons 1-7 and 11. I'm not including Seasons 8-10 because they are bad.
