Frasier 1.05

Here's Looking at You

- Martin starts a long-distance relationship with a woman in another building, with some help from Daphne and a telescope that Frasier bought him; the woman's name is Irene and she also has a telescope; Martin is very reluctant to meet Irene but after a disastrous encounter with Maris' Aunt Patrice and a pep talk from Daphne he nervously decides to go out with Irene

- the episode ends with Martin opening the door to meet Irene face to face for the first time except that you can't see or hear Irene; the final camera shot is from Irene's point of view

- not great but good; David Hyde Pierce can be very funny as Niles but I don't find his scenes with Frasier in the coffee shop (in this episode and prior ones) to be as funny as the canned laughter leads me to believe that they are intended to be
