Book Description:
First-time publication of 15 full scripts, including all the Emmy Award winners, of the sensational TV show, starring Kelsey Grammer, David Hyde Pierce, John Mahoney, Jane Leeves, Peri Gilpin, Dan Butler, and Moose, that has won the Emmy Award for best comedy for an unprecedented consecutive five years. Of the one hundred and fifty scripts written for Frasier over the last five years, executive producer Christopher Lloyd says that the 15 chosen for this book are those "that were just right...something about each one--whether it was the particular story we were telling, or the way we were telling it--just struck a nerve with everyone." Starting with The Good Son, the pilot script for the show, "they all deliver on the promise to be funny first," says Lloyd, "but also to be true to the characters, to explore their wants and needs in ways that occasionally achieve something like poignancy. The scripts in this volume represent various approaches to that end." Among them are:
flat-out farce (The Matchmaker, The Ski Lodge)
old-fashioned romantic comedy (Mixed Doubles)
swashbuckling (An Affair to Forget)
dancing (Moon Dance)
parody (Slow Tango in South Seattle)
silent-movie-like (Will You Be Mine?)
Ideal for the millions of Frasier fans, admirers of accomplished humor writing, as well as for students and professionals in the TV and film industries, this book, with background information and photos on the stars and characters, marks the first time that a Frasier script collection has been published in the U.S.

Fifteen of the best episodes and their original scripts. What could be better than watching these and following along with the scripts to see exactly how the written word was acted out by this great group of actors? They have done a masterful job in choosing 15 of the best scripts, especially the pilot episode "The Good Son". Watching them trying to establish a long ago relationship between father and son is great! Following with the script makes it even better. I highly recommend The Frasier ... Read More

Frasier was long one of my favorite television shows, and purely from a writing standpoint, I enjoy reading screenplays and scripts to see just how different writers structure their stories. This book collects 15 scripts from the show's first six seasons, and having seen most of the episodes, I can concur that they have chosen 15 of the best episodes.
From a storytelling standpoint, these are just great tales. The pilot episode, in which Frasier and his father try to adjust to living ... Read More

Since losing David Angell in the September 11th tragedy, I am so happy to have a copy of this book. Dave was a great guy, and I miss him.

This book is great because it is an original! You have the original storylines and no additions from other authors. You learn how such a series is made and how important the actors are to bring the action to live.

This book is a perfect mechanism for catching up on the early years of Frasier or to relive those wonderful moments. I started watching Frasier in season 6 and this book has been a constant companion to fill the gaps and relive the moments I loved from the episodes I have caught up on. Having this book WILL lift your IQ!!
