Synopsis
With its witty dialogue, sophisticated character development, and classic slapstick situations, FRASIER is perhaps best described as the thinking man's FRIENDS. Taking centre stage is pompous radio psychiatrist Dr Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer), whose phone-in show serves as much an outlet for his neuroses, as it does a public service for the people of Seattle. Clever intersecting storylines feature a brilliant ensemble cast, including his prim and proper brother Niles (David Hyde Pierce), their gruff retired-cop father Martin (John Mahoney), live-in home care worker Daphne (Jane Leeves), brassy radio producer Roz (Teri Gilpin), and a charismatic Jack Russell terrier named Eddie, with whom Frasier has regular staring contests but never wins. This collection includes the show's pilot episode through to its eleventh series finale, and every episode in between.

It really shouldn't have worked. Frasier was a secondary character in a hugely popular sit-com that ran for over a decade. More people associated Cheers with Sam and Diane or Woody than with Doctor Frasier Crane, so it was a surprise that this show got green-lighted by the studio at all. Nonetheless it was a pleasant surprise because, in many ways, Frasier is a better TV show.

Frasier - Series 1-11 (44 DVDs the new and rare box set

From the opening episode, when the new set-up in Seattle and the new characters are carefully introduced with the now iconic black and white title cards, you knew the show wanted to go in its own direction. This was in no way "Cheers 2" for people with withdrawal symptoms from one of the biggest sit-coms of all time. In fact, the only thing they borrowed from the preceding show is the characters back story. The new show was filled to the brim with integrity, rich, intellectual dialogue and high quality jokes that in no way pandered to the lowest common dominator. That isn't to say that the show wasn't accessible to the masses ... after all, the show ran for 11 seasons and was watched by millions across the globe.

The new characters introduced into the life of Frasier - an 11 year old character himself - also make this spin-off show very special. Niles is truly one of the funniest television characters ever created and his ongoing relationship with Daphne is incredibly sweet. You'll root for them to get together much more than you ever would for Ross and Rachel. Martin and Eddie also have too many classic, hysterical scenes to count.

In summary, this is a 5 star show through and through. Not only will you overdose on episode after episode and season after season, but you'll also admire the high quality writing and acting that was a principle of the show and never waned.
