Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.
- Fraszier: The Finest Unproduced Episodes
- Recommended by Planet-man
- Status: Ongoing
- Synopsis: An ongoing Tumblr which describes a new episode every day or two (as of April 30th 2013 there are 124 episodes and counting). Synopses range from four-sentence summaries to elaborately detailed scene-by-scene descriptions multiple paragraphs long, depending on the episode. The premise is essentially a deadpan account of bizarre, "unaired" Frasier episodes which are thematically similar to the show's traditional antics but feature the characters getting caught up in off-beat, sinister, often vaguely supernatural situations along the way. Has a penchant for emphasizing or exaggerating the Cranes' worst traits, i.e. Frasier's tyranny and egomania, Niles' elitism, Martin's old-world sensibilities, etc.
- Comments: This could almost be described as a sort of hybrid between Frasier and The Twilight Zone (1959), Welcome to Night Vale or the SCP Foundation. The audaciousness and tone are downright hilarious and the frequent references to real Frasier moments and running jokes betrays an endearing affection for the source material.

- I Hear the Blues A-Killin' by Joe Chouinard: original comic, video dub by Jacob The Loofah
- Recommended by: Cronosonic
- Crossover with: Columbo
- Synopsis: Niles, in a fit of rage and panic, strangles his wife Maris when he discovers his affections for Daphne. Fraiser tries to help when he arrives, only to accidentally finish her off by stepping on Maris' neck, so he helps Niles make it look like she hanged herself. Unfortunately, one of Martin's old buddies is visiting, one Lieutenant Columbo, and he immediately takes up the case, resulting in a comedic clash of minds as the two brothers desperately try to get away with murder while being dogged by the eccentric Lieutenant...

- Notes: This is a fantastic and hilarious comic, showing the Crane brothers pitting wits against Columbo, who has their number from the start. The dub is also fantastically edited and voiced. The way Columbo's investigation is depicted, despite the perspective being Frasier's, is excellently done, and he expertly manipulates the brothers, not only appealing to Frasier's ego at one point, but in the climax he specifically gets Frasier riled up by insinuating that Niles covered up the crime all by himself, causing him to confess his part in the cover-up, only for Columbo to reveal that he had staged an Engineered Public Confession via Frasier's own radio show. Spectacular.
