List of Frasier episodes (Season 11)

Crock Tales is the penultimate episode of the series Frasier with an unusual format. Rather than use a clip show to document the changes over eleven years of the series, the show instead invented new scenes from previous seasons, with the cast wearing the hairstyles, clothes, and vocal and semiotic mannerisms from those previous seasons, in some cases wearing wigs.

[edit] Plot

Frasier chips an old earthenware crock pot, and is about to throw it away, when he pauses, and remembers the dinners associated with the item, going back in time til finally remembering the first dinner he'd made for his father, Niles, Daphne and Roz.
