The Good Son
Psychiatrist Frasier Crane returns to his hometown of Seattle to host a radio talk show, but soon discovers he could use a shrink himself when his disabled father moves in.
Seeking a fresh start following his divorce, Boston psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane returns to his native Seattle to host a radio call-in show. The homecoming reunites Frasier with his brother Niles, who’s also a psychiatrist; and his widowed father Martin, a retired cop who was disabled after being shot on the job.
Concerned for his father’s well-being, Frasier invites Martin and his dog Eddie to move in with him. They’re joined by Daphne Moon, a live-in cook and physical therapist. Frasier and Martin soon find themselves clashing over everything from Eddie to Martin’s ugly easy chair.
At work, Frasier’s life is complicated by Roz, his call screener, who pushes Frasier to dispense advice quickly, while Frasier wants to offer more thoughtful counsel. He gets that chance when Martin, posing as a caller, reports that he’s having trouble communicating with his son. Both Frasier and Martin realize that they need to be more understanding with each other.
