Frasier - Season 1
Amazon.com:
Thanks to sharp writing and a pitch-perfect ensemble
cast, Frasier became one of the smartest and
funniest television shows of the 1990s. Following
the 1993 demise of Cheers, Diane's fussy
psychiatrist boyfriend, Frasier Crane (Kelsey
Grammer), seemed an unlikely candidate for a
spin-off series, yet the show earned smash ratings
and dozens of Emmy Awards, including Outstanding
Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor (Grammer)
in the very first season. |

Frasier - Season 2 Frasier
picked up its second season with another round of
comedy as intelligent as its pompous title
character. Fortunately, the sniping between Frasier
(Kelsey Grammer) and his father, Marty (John
Mahoney), that took up a lot of the first season is
mostly past, and the crack ensemble was ready to
roll in a number of memorable episodes. Frasier
tries to set up Daphne (Jane Leeves) with the new
station manager in "The Matchmaker," Frasier, Niles
(David Hyde Pierce), and Marty go fishing in
"Breaking the Ice," Frasier and Niles jump into
politics in "The Candidate," the team of Frasier and
Roz (Peri Gilpin) breaks up ("Roz in the Doghouse"),
and Frasier and Niles open a restaurant in "The
Innkeepers." |

Frasier - Season 3 With this third
season, Frasier scored an impressive hat
trick, winning its third successive Emmy for
Outstanding Comedy Series. You don't need too much
analysis to get to the bottom of this unprecedented
success. |

Frasier - Season 4 Frasier's
fourth season was mostly about relationships. Niles
(David Hyde Pierce), now separated from Maris, is
back on the market like his bachelor brother,
Frasier (Kelsey Grammer). That's great when the pair
goes to a cabin with a pair of fetching women (Megan
Mullaly, later of Will and Grace, and Lisa
Darr), but Niles is never able to completely dispel
his attachment to his suffocating wife... or to
Daphne (Jane Leeves). |

Frasier - Season 5 Frasier's
fifth season is marked by two central themes. First
is Roz's (Peri Gilpin) unexpected pregnancy, which
naturally opens the door for countless promiscuity
jokes for the radio show's beleaguered producer. The
second is the continuing drama of Niles (David Hyde
Pierce) and his frosty wife, Maris, which seemed to
finally come to a head. Not that even a good
marriage has ever kept Niles from pining for Daphne
(Jane Leeves), of course. |

Frasier - Season 6
FRASIER – THE COMPLETE SIXTH SEASON is a half-hour
comedy series set in Seattle, which chronicles the
lives of an eloquently pompous radio show host, Dr.
Frasier Crane, (Grammer), his competitive, high-brow
brother Niles (Hyde Pierce), their crotchety father
Martin (Mahoney) and Martin’s semi-psychic, live-in
home-care provider, Daphne (Leeves). The show made
history by becoming the first series, comedy or
drama, to achieve a record five consecutive Emmy
wins for Outstanding Comedy Series. |

Frasier - Season 7 This is the
pivotal season that finally, finally brings together
Niles (David Hyde Pierce) and Daphne (Jane Leeves),
Frasier's answer to Ross and Rachel. Daphne,
engaged to Donny (Saul Rubinek), learns of Niles'
unrequited feelings for her from an extremely
medicated Frasier in "Back Talk." If Daphne's
impending marriage was not obstacle enough to keep
them apart, there is fussy, phobic, and formidable
Dr. Mel Karnofsky (Jane Adams), Maris's former
plastic surgeon, who is introduced in "The Late Dr.
Crane" as a romantic interest for Niles. |

Frasier - Season 8 Seemingly not
content to win all those Emmys for Outstanding
Comedy Series, Frasier made a convincing bid
in its eighth season for Best Drama. Make no
mistake, Frasier still serves up its unique
blend of sophisticated wit and farce with the usual
panache. But season 8 finds Frasier (Kelsey Grammer)
in a contemplative mood and mid-life crisis mode.
The episode "Frasier's Edge" resonates throughout
the season, as a lifetime achievement award and a
suspect (only to Frasier) congratulatory note from a
mentor sends him into a characteristic tailspin. |

Frasier - Season 9 After a
distinguished run of Emmy-winning seasons,
Frasier is, by its ninth season, in something of
"a tiny lull" (as Frasier describes the state of his
radio talk show career in the episode "Junior
Agent") when its guest stars took home more Emmys
than the much-decorated ensemble (Anthony LaPlaglia,
reprising his role as Daphne's besotted brother,
Simon, in the two-parter, "Mother Load"). |

Frasier - Season 10 "Irritating, but
endearing." That's Frasier Crane in a nutshell, as
diagnosed by Julia Wilcox (an Emmy-worthy Felicity
Huffman), KCAL's abrasive and condescending new
financial analyst. That's a delicate balance, but
Kelsey Grammer still manages it with the usual
aplomb in Frasier's penultimate season. |

Frasier - Season 11 Midway through
Frasier's redemptive final season (which
earned Emmys for Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde
Pierce), Martin Crane (John Mahoney) reassures his
son, "Just when you think that you're in a rut and
nothing exciting will ever happen again, pow, that's
when it does." The same could have been said of
Frasier's redemptive final season. Not that the
multi-Emmy-honored series had ever really jumped the
couch, but by its 11th season, it had lost some of
its sparkle. |
