I recently started watching this show for the first time in Netflix and I am in stitches from laughing so much. Between the great writing and Kelsey Grammar's delivery this show will leave you laughing the whole way through. This show has become one of my new favorites and I'm sure any viewer would find it making its way into their top list too.

Very intelligent humor, great characters, good balance between goofy and serious comedy, and finally a story that you can relate to.What I really like about Frasier is that it talks about real life and relationships; divorce, marriage, having children, falling in (and out of) love, losing loved ones, the hardship of being in the closet, having affairs, alcoholism, losing one's job, neighbor feuds, etc... and tries to approach these subjects in a humorous way.The only problem is that its out of touch and a bit pretensions but they know this and it mostly adds to the humor.Happy watching.

It's very easy to criticize a long running show for being "formulaic", "predictable" or "self-referential", so how can one of the most formulaic, predictable and self-referential shows of all time be so wonderful? How can it pertain such high quality and professionalism from the first days of pre-production to the very last scene of its finale? The reason Frasier is predictable or self-referential is not sloppiness or laziness. It's the consistent writing and the organic, ever developing characters. Just like real people, sometimes you expect the characters to act in certain ways, and they do. After watching all eleven seasons of the show, you can talk about one of the five main characters for hours, like you're talking about one of your best friends. They are not idealized. They are not perfect. What they are is human... except for Eddie.While noted psychiatrist and radio personality Dr. Frasier Crane is pivotal to the plot of most episodes, the balance (or lack thereof!) between the five main characters, sometimes Frasier's rivalry with his younger brother Niles, sometimes his conflict with his retired blue-collar father Martin, is the essence of the show. Daphne, Martin's live-in physical therapist, is often the negotiator between the Cranes. Frasier's producer Roz is arguably the least developed main character, but she is sometimes integral to the plot and she can be quite a scene stealer. This powerful ensemble of five is accompanied by equally brilliant support characters such as Bulldog, Bebe, Gil, and of course Lilith.On an objective scale I would probably give it 8 or 9 stars, because it inevitably loses its magic toward the end, especially after the resolution of the "will Daphne and Niles ever get together" subplot, but even at its worst, it is consistently funny and tasteful with very little amount of disappointing fillers. From the casting to the acting and writing, Frasier is arguably the most successful spin-off in TV history, and even without taking its parent show Cheers into consideration, it manages to stand on its own and it will always be one of the best situation comedies of all time.

It's a good written show. The show revolves around a highly educated well verse impeccably dressed psychiatrist. His problem is that he cant make any relationship work. He constantly becomes the victim of an ill fated predicament when he is with a woman. His ever pursue of a love that always ends in mishap, is a great aspect of the show that makes it funny. The brother is also a psychiatrist who very much resembles him except that he is more uptight. There father is a short small framed ex detective who just as smart as they are or even smarter to know that you thrive better in a world as common man than as an uptight refined- sometimes coming across- pretentious man. Their differences in refinement creates a dynamic that adds humor to show.The outspoken British in house physical therapist to the ex-detective adds sauce to the show. The interaction between Frasier's female coworker,with a strong desire for finding Mr. Right and makes her hop between man doing so, has common ground with Fraiser in the failed relationship department and creates a good friendship between both and their differences in the views and or approach to life and relationships also adds comedy to the show.The show is funny. The characters are likable. You won't be disappointed watching the show.
