Reel 6713

series: Frasier. Deftly using assumptions about sexuality as grist for farce, this episode (originally telecast Oct. 4, 1994, and named by TV GUIDE among the 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time) details a mixed-up first date. Hoping to fix up Daphne, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) invites his station manager, Tom (Eric Lutes), to dinner, unaware he's gay. During the meal, delicately used pronouns fuel Tom's misconception that he's dating Frasier, who misreads Tom's interest for an attraction to Daphne. When Frasier learns the truth, he's stunned: "All I did was ask him if he was attached, and then we talked about the theater and men's fashions...Oh, my God!"
