Get a tossed salad and some scrambled eggs today! September 24, 2008 m.bison (Cheshire, UK) 75 out of 78 found this review helpful
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.
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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.

As they say, the worlds best TV sitcom February 7, 2009 Goran Ekstrom (Stockholm, Sweden) 17 out of 17 found this review helpful
After seeing random order episodes of the 11 seasons of Frasier for several years on cable I finally bought the box and watched them all continuously over a few weeks which is a quite interesting experience. The first 4-5 seasons are the best with rarely a bad epsiode, seasons 5-8 is a little more shaky with a few cruise-control epsiodes you quickly forget but still the best and most intelligent sitcom ever written. During the final 9-11 seasons the show occasionally even takes on a serious tone which is a little surprising but also interesting as they deal with the background of espescially Frasiers but also the rest of the characters personality backgrounds, almost as a deliberate start of wrapping up the series. The final double episode ties up all loose ends but as the final credits runs you feel a little abandoned, it is more a fit-it-all-in-the-last-double-episode race than a true "good bye". Another funny effect of seeing all 11 seasons so compressed is that at times it gets unbearable to see poor Frasier trying to deal with the messes he ends up with but overall it is a testament to the quality that you actually can see so many episodes without it getting boring.
Lovable Snobs September 26, 2008 Boof (United Kingdom) 32 out of 35 found this review helpful
Frasier is just the best comfort viewing available. After spending a lovely couch-potato weekend watching re-runs back to back a few weeks ago I just had to treat myself to this DVD box set.
br /
br /Frasier and his brother Niles are two Seattle shrinks and the most pompous but lovable snobs around. Their on-screen chemistry is fantastic which is what makes this brilliantly written series such a joy.
br /
br /Worth every penny in my opinion.
Regarding the complete box set April 8, 2009 nightjourney90210 (London, England) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I don't know why but I expected the yellow box to be huge, but in fact it's quite dinky. It does not contain all 11 box sets previously released. Instead, it is just the 4 differently coloured, well, folders really, that are pictured. The disks themselves are crammed in so it is quite compact and can fit on your shelf fine. I imagine that the actual disks are the same as the ones that were in the individual series box sets (they have pictures on them etc) and it seems that the special features (audio commentaries etc) are all here.
br /
br /There really is not any art in here, like lots of pictures of the cast or any little booklets or anything like that; if that's what you like you may prefer the individual box sets (though I can't say if they have anything like that in them) but if you're a completest, like me, and if the price is right (like it is right now (April '09)) you might want to snap this up.
Sophisticated Comedy November 2, 2008 Mr. W. Bell (Devon, England) 13 out of 15 found this review helpful
When I first watched Frasier I didn't think it was anything special but my best friend told me to give it a chance and I would love it. So I did and what can I say this has to be the funniest sitcom to ever come out of the U.S. After watching a full season I knew I had to have every season. If you were like me and you are bit sceptical of Frasier don't believe me you wont regret it.
