Review of Frasier

Frasier (1993–2004)
10/10
It shall be missed but never forgotten!

Warning: Spoilers
WARNING SPOILERS MAY ENSUE! Alas, I was too young to understand when it was still new ,but the beauty of age is experience and the joys from the past. Although I've just turned seventeen, the show is still appealing to my sense of humor. Now I wonder where I was when this show was winning all those awards and then I remember most of the time I was watching old Barney the dinosaur episodes. Although I love this show, I hate what it's done to me. It is the epitome of T.V.'s finest show and so that is how I hold it to other shows. While other show may be good this show was "Fantastic!!!" To quote another 'Docter Who' will remain anonymous.

Even though I came in late in the game (After the show was gone for a full season!!!)I have all seasons, except the final season, that have been released on DVD so far. I can't wait till May 15th. I want season Nine now! (And yes my sources are reliable. If you don't believe me then wait and see.) My favorite episode is probably...No! Definitely... Out With Dad. But also a goody is Room With A View. Even though it's a bit more serious than most other episodes. It shows depth that was missing from the show. I have recommended this show to all my friends but they all say "Okay. Good for you." But I have managed to change one of their minds. Now every time I see her she wants another DVD for another Friaser fix.

We all agree that Niles is the driving force of the show. He barely lets you hear the set up for the punchline before delivery. His physical skills go unnoticed the first few times you watch the show but as it goes on you see a master at work. His facial expressions are just as funny as he is.

Martin is very well written part and John Mahoney delivers.

Roz is utterly delectable and sassy. The funniest thing about her is her street smarts that seems to be just beyond Fraiser and Niles' grasp.

But every show has a chink in the armor. Daphne is the weakest character. Not to say that it was Miss Leeve's fault. But the writers just didn't know what to do with her. She was essential to the show. But, even with it's faults, Fraiser is still one of the funniest shows to touch the small screen.

And last, but not least. Dr. Fraiser Crane. When he wasn't "listening", we were. Fraiser is the most underrated character of his own sitcom. Between Nile's obsession with the enchanting Daphne, and Martin and Roz's escapades. Fraiser is left a little lonely. But then how do I know that wasn't the envisioned plot?

Well I've prattled on for long enough. It's time for me to go. "Your listening is KACL 780. This is Dr. Fraiser Crane wishing you all good mental heath. And stay tuned for Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe and the Gonzo Sports show."
