February 14, 20205 yr How many enjoyed this? I watched this in middle school and high school. Had no idea at the time it was a spin off from Cheers. And started this up on Hulu from episode 1. Almost done with Season 2. I appreciate and enjoy this much more as an adult. I am glad I watched Cheers years back to enjoy the Frasier character on there and see him progress. And in the middle of Season 2, Sam Malone from Cheers comes back and gives updates on the Cheers characters. That was cool. And Lilith comes back for a few episodes. A lot of genius in this show. I had a thing for Roz and Daphne growing up.

February 14, 20205 yr I had no idea it was a spinoff either. I never liked or watched Cheers, but liked Frasier. Cheers just came off too corny and I couldn't stand looking at that old hag brunette bartender.
February 14, 20205 yr Great show, Frasier was only 2nd to Woody as my favorite Cheers character. Loved the dad on Frasier.
February 14, 20205 yr My father watched Cheers and I absolutely hated it. Frasier, on the other hand, is absolute greatness.

February 14, 20205 yr Also this whole Frazier > Cheers thing makes me think I really don’t know any of you people. Disclaimer: I really don’t know any of you people
February 14, 20205 yr Both Frazier and Cheers are greatness. Cliff Clavin on Jeopardy is one of the funniest tv episodes of all time .
February 14, 20205 yr Next thing you'll tell me is Good Times was a spinoff of a spinoff of All in the Family.

February 14, 20205 yr i never watched it during its network run. i probably would have hated it. as a full on adult, i love it. it's so damn good. the comedic timing is impeccable. Niles is my favorite character. then Martin.

February 14, 20205 yr I believe Frazier was scientifically proven to be the best show to watch as you go to sleep. So relaxing

She was smokin' hot pre-pregnancy and then they were forced to give Daphne a weight problem in order to hide it. And then she never got back to her pre-motherhood hotness. Poor Niles.

February 14, 20205 yr was always 'meh' on Frasier, mostly because i cannot stand Kelsey Grammar. The personal history stuff on his wiki page is unreal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelsey_Grammer That being said, John Mahoney is one of the most underrated actors in the last 50 years. Edited February 14, 20205 yr by yoladu
February 14, 20205 yr I judge an artist's work on its own merit. I don't let their personal lives affect my appreciation of their work. Also, it's "Frasier," with an "s."

February 14, 20205 yr Very smart, very accessible show. Holds up very well. Love the women in it. Niles occasional bits of physical humor are priceless.

The actor is absolutely nuts but his portrayal of a pompous ass elitist doctor is spot on hilarious. Especially when it gets turned against him like in the Carlos and the Chicken episode. The ones where he's mistaken as gay like the one with his new boss he tries to introduce to Daphne or the one with Patrick Stewart are some of the best in the series.
February 14, 20205 yr Niles owned that show. I was living in Seattle when it debuted, and it was huuuuuge there. I guess no one knew Grammer's political leanings back then. A friend of mine gave him a massage once at a spa in Hawaii. She said he was really nice but harrier than an ape.

February 14, 20205 yr It's a fantastic show and I believe it was Messi on the other site that said the entire comedy of the show was a giant "who's on first" skit. My favorite episodes are probably the illegal caviar episode and the episode where they are at the day spa and they always think there is another level up in service behind the next door. There are so many great throwaway lines. Dr. Niles Crane : I don't want my child to miss knowing him. Who else is going to teach him how to catch a football ball?

February 14, 20205 yr "Joey" spin-off from "Friends". The adventures of Joey Tribbiani in California. Also starred Drea de Matteo, of "Sopranos" fame.

February 14, 20205 yr Holy shit I had to look that up as I never knew that existed. I stand corrected. While I've seen every episode of Seinfeld and Frasier multiple times the only time I ever watched Friends was when I was with a girl who wanted to watch it. Just wasn't a show I liked much. Apparently the rape allegation against Grammer was from a babysitter who brought forth the allegation over a year after it allegedly took place. DA refused to follow up with charges since she waited so long and didn't have any evidence like a rape kit done right away. While looking that up I found this quote from a former Frasier writer that's a funny mental image. "He would ooze into the studio, his life all out of sorts. Jimmy would say "Action," and he would snap into Frasier and expound in this very erudite dialogue and be pitch-perfect. And Jimmy would yell "Cut!" and he would ooze back into Kelsey—glazed-over eyes, half asleep, going through whatever he was going through. It was the most amazing transformation I'd ever seen."
