Frasier (1993)

My Coffee with Niles (season 1, 1994) The original 1993 series closes its first season at a single table in Café Nervosa, shot in real time with no scene changes or cuts. Niles asks a simple question, whether Frasier is happy, and the episode lets friends and family drift past the table while the answer keeps slipping away. The running gag of Frasier's coffee arriving wrong again and again turns the café's ordinary interruptions into the structure. The title nods to the film My Dinner with Andre, and the episode earns the comparison: it is a conversation piece that proves the brothers could hold an audience with nothing but talk.
