TEXT: Skyline: The light atop the space needle flashes. ACT 1 Scene 1 - Café Nervosa. Roz and Frasier are seated. Kenny brings them coffee. Roz: Oh, thank you for the coffee, Kenny. Kenny: Oh, you don't have to thank me. We're not keeping score. Life's too short to keep track of who owes who for this or that or whatnot. Let's just enjoy ourselves. Frasier: Whatever you want, Kenny, the answer is no. Kenny: [caught] Just hear me out. Look, I need a favor but before I tell you what it is, I want you to look at this. He hands Frasier a stack of papers. Frasier looks at it. Frasier: "KACL Psychographics." Kenny: We hired a firm to sift through the program data and give us a kind of profile on each show's average listener. Frasier: All right, let's see. [reading] Gil's average listener is a woman, mid-30's, well-educated, hmmm... What about my average listener. Who is she? Kenny: [taking the papers] Well, actually, uh, she's an older gentleman... [Frasier reacts unhappily] who likes to keep the radio on for company. Roz: Ouch. Frasier: Oh, and Roz, it seems a number of listeners think you're a man. Roz: What?! Frasier: [indicating the data] I'm sorry the-the station spent its money on this nonsense, but this research is patently absurd. Kenny: Regardless, you could really stand to increase your audience in the youth market. Frasier: Well, I thought we upped the advertising budget for that very reason. Kenny: I did, but I need some help. How would you like to be a guest on Teen Scene? Frasier: I'm sorry, Kenny. I've done that show before, I'm not doing it again. Kenny: Doc, you could
SUMMARY:
Kenny announces to Frasier and Roz that some recent research into KACL listeners shows that Frasier's average listener is an older gentleman who keeps the radio on for company. He suggests Frasier reach out to the youth, by appearing on Teen Scene ; Frasier, who appeared once before on that show, refuses initially, but when approached for an autograph by a young woman working for a hospice, he reluctantly consents. The representative of the Teen Scene panel whom he meets first, Emily, seems very intelligent and pleasant. Things change drastically when the show starts, and the panel asks Frasier numerous probing questions about his personal life. Fortunately, Kirby Gardner, who went to the same school as the panel members, is on hand to help out by providing Frasier with embarrassing information about the trio. The next day, Frasier enacts his revenge against Teen Scene , embarrassing all three of them. Meanwhile, Niles decides to steal a street sign with Daphne's name on it as a romantic gesture. Daphne discovers that Martin kissed a woman named Peg at a work party, and although he insists that it was nothing special, he spends a few days waiting by the telephone in case she calls.
