"The Good Son" is the pilot episode of the television sitcom Frasier. It premiered on September 16, 1993, on NBC.[1] It introduces the primary characters and settings, and distances itself from its parent series Cheers.

The final draft of the script was published on April 29, 1993.[2] Excerpts from the show were promoted as the series finale of Cheers aired on May 20, 1993.[3] This episode set up a number of recurring gags for the series, such as Martin's Lazyboy recliner and the unseen character of Maris Crane, Niles' wife.
