When I was growing up in high school I thought Frasier was a good show. When I watched it while taking psychology courses in college I thought it was a great show. Now that I'm an adult and have gone back and watched it again, I am convinced it is one of the finest shows to ever grace television.
DIVISIONINCISION I did. I’m sure the seeds of pursuing a profession like that were planted by Fraser. But I personally ended up becoming a psychologist because of a show called in treatment. It used to be on HBO
No Niles = NO sequel Talk to David Hyde Pierce again: Offer him the SAME money as Kelsey Grammer, give him the same credits and equal billing, call the show: “Niles and Frasier”. Kelsey Grammer still thinks (and brags) that the main and only reason Frasier lasted so long was because of him. He is so wrong. THE main reason my family, friends, and I watched Frasier was because of Niles (and Daphne). No Niles = NO sequel
Brenda Ferguson hey just FYI cheers and Frasier are on Netflix But I agree with the fact that it’s not political and the humor is all original which is hard to find these days on any show.
I watch Frasier nearly every night. I started randomly watching it when it aired late at night because I work nights and needed something to entertain me on my nights off. Thankfully, they put it on Netflix. I watched it beginning to end. Best TV show ever created in my opinion. I would love to meet Kelsey. He’s a very talented, clever, and funny man.
@@bojack40 actually no their not. There are only a couple of episodes early on that mention their political affiliations and whether or not Frasier is "elitist". That's about it.
Brodie McGrath its NOT nonsense dumbass. Not a strange equivalency either. He obviously has zero insight into his personality. Who the hell gets divorced THREE TIMES?
So just because he has been divorced 3 times makes him a prick and he has zero insight in his own personality? Pretty stupid comments. There might be a million good reasons for him being devorced. Try to use your brain, if u have one.
Do,you know how hard it is to find a woman who actually loves you for you when you’re that rich and famous? It would be hard to stay married at that level of wealth. Unless you marry your girlfriend from high school.
While deployed to Iraq (2003-04) and posted at the Mosul Airfield in northern Iraq, a sergeant buddy had rigged up a playable DVD player and had his wife send him about 2-3 full seasons of "Frasier". A group of us would close out our day in his room (very old building that we occupied) by watching 2 episodes per night. Made us laugh and momentarily forget what we were in the middle of. Thank you, Kelsey Grammer, cast and crew!
@Kate I felt an obligation to reenlist in the Army (Reserves, this time) after the 9-11 attacks. I was, however, 40 at the time and wasn't sure if I'd be accepted. Fortunately, they subtracted my years of prior service from my age and (after 13 years of drinking, smoking cigars and genuinely abusing my body after my last enlistment) I was fortunate enough to pass my PT test and later deploy to Iraq at the age of 42. I was honored. 😉
i will hear people looking back on the 90s and they ask which was better FRIENDS or SEINFELD, and i always say i actually think FRASIER has held up better.
Which is better, an apple, a mango, or a potato? There is no comparison...I love Seinfeld...Frasier too... Friends I can watch...but comparing them I can't.
I had the opportunity to interview him on the telephone for a college project in 1991 while he was working on Cheers. I cringe listening to myself on that tape now. I was really young and naive, but he was incredibly nice and generous. Amazing talent.
Frasier definitely had risque humor, but it was all innuendo and double entendre. Very much the kind of humor that went over my head as a kid. I used to love watching it as a kid with my parents for the slapstick and farce, and now I still love watching it as an adult for all of the genius wordplay and usage of language. Frasier is timeless because of the huge variety and layers of jokes and humor. Lowbrow, highbrow, and everything in between.
@@susanyork5089 British acting is a whole different school. I have a degree in theatre and I learned both. British style you get better results, especially comedy
Every night I listen to Frasier, it helps me sleep. It helps fill that emptiness when the lights are off. I love all the actors and their characters. They're such amazing actors, including Moose.
Kelsey was holding back the tears when John's name is mentioned. I can only assume John was very sick with his throat cancer at this point and time and that's why he's emotional.
He has achieved what several have tried but few are successful doing. He took a much liked character role in a classic TV sitcom, and turned around and ,in many ways surpassed the original show in popularity and ratings. A terrific actor and very intellectual as well.
Watched Frasier in my house as a kid (maybe started at like 8 or 9). Grew up poor, but the type of jokes, discussion, and issues always made me laugh and I ended up loving the show. The vocabulary was awesome, but the show was simple enough for you to follow without getting lost. No one in my family liked Frasier and thought it was dull. I recently graduated with my Masters, planning to pursue clinical licensure, and plan to apply to a joint PhD program in SW and Psyc. I'm convinced the show was the reason I got into the mental health profession, want to be pursue the PhD, and one day be called Dr. Crazy where we get our dreams and inspiration from.
I'm binch watching all the Frasier episodes on Netflix. I love all the actors playing their roles PERFECTLY, but Frasier and Niles are AMAZING! The whole psychology is also so FUNNY, because they love each other, but the constant sibling rivalry, and dad having to break the banters is so HILLARIOUS! I'm trying, but this show has too many elements to explain... Please bring it back, with all the same main actors, and very importantly, all the same writers as well... 😊💗
One of the many amazing components of the show was the fact that the brothers were psychologists but had so many issues and were blind to see them. The irony of this and other moments were some of what made the show so great.
It’s wonderful to see how much Kelsey celebrates his friends and costars. His chuckle when reminiscing about how excited Woody was to play basketball with Kevin McHale is delightful. Classy guy. 🐾
Simmer Chester Even though I’m not a Republican, Boss was Kelsey’s best piece of dramatic work, and he was excellent on the show. It should have gotten more than two seasons, although I’m not sure how long more they could have gone with the concept.
Cheers was one of those rare sitcoms that was great from the first episode to the last. No real duds, and ran near the top of the ratings for all 11 seasons. They don't make them like that anymore. Oh, and unlike today's shows that are only 10 or 13 episodes per season, they did the full 26 per season back then.
I met Kelsey, and he was one of the most graciously humble people I've ever met. My mother was with me, and he took a pic with her too. Later that year, she was watching CNN and a segment was showing the most influential tv shows. Kelsey was accepting his Emmy, and I asked, "Do you remember that man?" she says "I don't think so" and I take my phone out, and show her smiling with Kelsey. It was a great moment as a son.
wow. you know whats amazing? one of my favorite jokes from fraiser never wouldve happened if they went with the original last name for fraiser. its honestly astounding how some coincidences can have a huge pay off. spoilers for the show. so, one of the main characters of the show developed a weight problem and was kind of in denial about it. until she fell down and needed the help of her lover, niles crane to help her up. so hes trying to lift her up but cant and then finally frasier and their father came in to help her up. when shes finally up, the father cracks a joke at her expense. "Hey, Daphne, I just thought of something funny. It took 3 cranes to lift you."
That's funny. The one I thought of was the one where the owner of their favorite Italian restaurant put up the caricature of Frasier and he thought the forehead was too big, and joked that the picture was of 'Frasier Cranium.'
Don’t forget when the Martin convinced Daphnes’ family he had been an astronaut and they started playing around with the idea of Daphne hyphenating her name ...which would be Daphne Moon-Crane. Martin says “ Oh , that takes me back ! “
Frasier is the best comedy show there has ever been, I can watch it over and over again and it only gets funnier, its so cleverly written and excellently acted but everyone involved Martin was just favourite character hands down
The greatest thing about cheers is that the viewers felt a sense of intimacy with the cast, as if the viewer was somehow also a part of the friendships
_'Frasier'_ remains my favorite adult TV sitcom which I still watch to this day (don't ever get rid of it Netflix - *_PLEASE_* ). Those characters are like my second family now and that apartment at the fictitious Elliot Bay Towers is like my second home. Nice little interview here but, how I wish that someone would ask Kelsey to shed some light on the results of that show finale. Did everything work out in the end in Chicago? Someday I hope to hear the results of that fateful trip... *_'FRASIER' RULES..._*
Cheers is like the best show ever. I re-watch episodes here and there on Netflix all the time. Seasons 4-5 were probably my favorites when it had Frasier, Woody, and still had Sam and Diane. My favorite Frasier line is when Sam tells him that he feels stuck in a rut. Frasier says "maybe a career change would be good for you. For starters, getting one". The witty comments and digs the characters would take at one another were so great.
It's amazing how much Kelsey was actually involved in the whole creative proces around "Frasier," Just says a lot about how talented and well-minded he is. Also, in real life he is exactly like his character, in many ways ;)
It's interesting that even when a US sitcom has equal parts for the main actors, and is stronger for it, there's often one who off stage is dominant. Kelsey here, Alan Alda in MASH and so on. Maybe that's the perfect mix?
I could never get into Cheers and, because of that, I never watched Frasier. Years later, though, Frasier is one of my absolute favorite shows. Great writing and a type of humor you don't really find anymore.
Shelly Long was great and her episodes were great but her leaving the show was one of the best things for the show cause Kirstie Alley came in and that essentially created a whole new show with fresh episodes
nah. I understand the longevity point, but the Rebecca character never di it for me, it was suddenly weak link in a consistent quality show - cast and script
Yep, it's like they realised they'd gone far enough with the set up and turned it upside down without wrecking it, and that was great. I like Kirstie Alley in it, especially as the character really grows and changes over the seasons.
I wish he had more confidence to do an album, he is an amazing singer and I would definitely buy it in a New York minute. The fraiser theme always makes me smile.
I have watched rewatch and it has always calmed my nerves. Love you as side show Bob your whole family is the world greatest show. I love you and Niles. I pray he is coming back also
kelsey grammer is an amazing actor. my favorite frasier episode is the one where they do the radio mystery theater and niles ends up shooting everyone at the end because he's so fed up with frasier.
I don't know if anyone who wrote, acted, sang, main, secondary characters, will ever see this, but from my heart, thank you, thank you for so many programs, so many memories, so many moments, from the 70s, 80s and 90s that resonate so much with me it just leaves me speechless sometimes. I'll give an example, play the theme for Cheers, or Wonder Years, or anything else from that era, and I'm immediately back in my friends house, myself and him, my brother, his brother and sister, sitting around watching those programs. His mother popping in and asking if we are okay or would we like anything to drink. Amazing times. We are all older now, myself a father of three grown kids, my brother 2 boys, my friend and his brother, both engaged. His mother, still alive, but suffering with old age and fading. Barely able to walk. But her wonderful, radiant smile shining as brightly as the day I first seen her, even if sometimes the pain can be also seen. Thank you everyone involved in these shows, just the sound of the theme tune can send my mind off to better, younger, pain free days. Thank you from my heart.
I love Frasier! I watch it every night and start over when it ends. Favorite line - “Charm is the viscous grease with which he oils his flim flam machine!”
Good guest. Good interviewer. I notice when I go to the channel that these clips have very few views. Rich Eisen is calm, nice and asks good questions here in my opinion.
I get these recommended to me once in a while and it's a terrible set and a camera-person doing what they can to leave it out as much as possible: the weird enormous and glowing desk that's also two steps higher than the guest chair. Painful. Tacky. And just plain rude. I can't watch it.
I was going through a depressive stage in my life when I happened upon the final episode of Fraisier being played in the UK. Losing this show was like losing a friend and almost sent me over the edge. I missed the cast so much. The only American sit com I could not only bear to watch, but really enjoyed. Aw, look at the feels when he’s talking about the “dad” character in the show.
Kim: I believe that David Hyde Pierce would come back to Frasier, IF he was treated right. Kelsey Grammer tells EVERYONE that the reason Frasier lasted so long was because of him. Kelsey Grammer can brag all he wants, but THE main reason my family, friends, and I watched “Frasier” was because of Niles/David Hyde Pierce (and Daphne and Marty). The studio needs to try talking to David Hyde Pierce again. Give him the SAME money as Kelsey Grammer, give both of them equal credits, call the show “Niles and Frasier”. There, I fixed it.
I came across Frasier when I used to watch an on the air channel that did re runs of old sitcoms. I was learning English so when Frasier was the next show I would change the channel, because I couldn’t follow much of what was say on the show. Few years went by and I was in college and Frasier was again on that same channel and this time I don’t know why I decided to stay tuned and see if I could follow and OMG it was so funny! Even today 6 years after I watched the show for the first time I find new jokes or references that I didn’t understand or simply didn’t know about. The show is a master piece!
i’m binge watching Frasier the second time through on nexflix. i never could see more than one out of four on tv when it aired! absolute comic gold! i’ll watch it through again and again. i normally ignore sitcoms, but Frasier is unique. thank you, kelsey, david, john, jane and peri! as well as everyone else who made Frasier so special!
The most talented guy in the room always! Will never get his due because we stop at Fraser and voice work...way deeper, immense talent...had the success, and to play a role for 20 years is a work ethic admired by all, especially Tom Brady lol...just to show up for 20 years, but to succeed that long!
Kevin Russell by that standard the whole cast was lucky. The cast and writers were both great. The chemistry Shelley Long and Ted Danson had was really special.
Its so much innocence with frasier the show would always leave me in a happy mood even after a bad day still watch it daily this is what tv is missing!
When I was growing up in high school I thought Frasier was a good show. When I watched it while taking psychology courses in college I thought it was a great show. Now that I'm an adult and have gone back and watched it again, I am convinced it is one of the finest shows to ever grace television.
The reason question is: Did you actually pursue a career in Psychology: Counselor or Psychologist?
DIVISIONINCISION I did. I’m sure the seeds of pursuing a profession like that were planted by Fraser. But I personally ended up becoming a psychologist because of a show called in treatment. It used to be on HBO
@@Ash_Rein I remember that show. Were you tempted to have an affair with a good looking character like Gabriel What's his name did.?
Agreed
@Emma Macdonald clever, that sounds like something I would do
Fraiser. Best spin off in television history.
For sure
Best show!

Just finished watching cheers for 100th time. About to get into Frasier.
I've always loved that dude, great show "Frasier" watch it regularly. Thanks for the years of good funny, and clean entertainment!
>clean entertainment
Did we watch the same show?
It's not really dirty, there's definitely much worse stuff kids could be watching.
EvantheMovieGuy kids say far worse things to each other after 13
Fraiser is safe for anyone over 12
EvantheMovieGuy To some people anything short of "Father knows Best" is scandalous.
Frasier definitely had risque humor, but it was all innuendo and double entendre. Very much the kind of humor that went over my head as a kid. I used to love watching it as a kid with my parents for the slapstick and farce, and now I still love watching it as an adult for all of the genius wordplay and usage of language. Frasier is timeless because of the huge variety and layers of jokes and humor. Lowbrow, highbrow, and everything in between.
Actors who do tons of theater, so much more interesting than most limited Hollywood actors.
Theatre folks are their own breed
Jason Alexander is a prime example
That’s why British actors are so good
@@susanyork5089 British acting is a whole different school. I have a degree in theatre and I learned both. British style you get better results, especially comedy
You ain't really an actor unless you tread the boards. In my view.
I loved John Mahoney cast as Frasier's dad. He had some of the best jokes on the show.
Every night I listen to Frasier, it helps me sleep. It helps fill that emptiness when the lights are off. I love all the actors and their characters. They're such amazing actors, including Moose.
Err ... Moose is a dog! :-)
It's the perfect cure for anxiety.
Understand your emotions my brother take care keep trying, keep winning 😊👍
Frasier was in my life back in the day, now as a 60 year old it’s still in my life. That’s called a very successful and clever show.
Kelsey was holding back the tears when John's name is mentioned. I can only assume John was very sick with his throat cancer at this point and time and that's why he's emotional.
I noticed that too, and am not ashamed to admit that my eyes watered a bit
But the interviewer did not see it, and talked right through that moment. Missed chance for him.
they were very close and the journey they had was so real he be missing him thank you john kept them all together
I saw that too. Good catch.
@@GijsvanDam Rich Eisen is one of the bigest dopes in the history of television. He's also an obnoxious idiot. i don't know why he is employed.
That moment when you realize Fraiser Is dressed exactly like his father
Kinda like when Seth McFarlane points out that near the end of Empire Strikes Back where Lando is wearing Han's clothes.
Hahaha
His chair doesn't look nearly as comfortable as his dad's though!

I really wish they would produce another series of Frasier, the funniest and best written show in American television history.

Joe Bloggs so much was said that was brilliant in every single episode of Frasier , writing was by far the funniest ever , timeless .

Crap. You are thinking of Seinfeld.

spoilers for the show.
so, one of the main characters of the show developed a weight problem and was kind of in denial about it. until she fell down and needed the help of her lover, niles crane to help her up. so hes trying to lift her up but cant and then finally frasier and their father came in to help her up. when shes finally up, the father cracks a joke at her expense.
"Hey, Daphne, I just thought of something funny. It took 3 cranes to lift you."
That's funny. The one I thought of was the one where the owner of their favorite Italian restaurant put up the caricature of Frasier and he thought the forehead was too big, and joked that the picture was of 'Frasier Cranium.'
The "Ichabod" gag where Roz is given the school application to fill in - still pretty funny after all these years.

The witty comments and digs the characters would take at one another were so great.
LMAO. But Sam already had a career as a MLB player.
It's amazing how much Kelsey was actually involved in the whole creative proces around "Frasier," Just says a lot about how talented and well-minded he is. Also, in real life he is exactly like his character, in many ways ;)
Boss is really good. I mean REALLY good. Back to you, not so much
He did the theme song as well, right?
It's interesting that even when a US sitcom has equal parts for the main actors, and is stronger for it, there's often one who off stage is dominant. Kelsey here, Alan Alda in MASH and so on. Maybe that's the perfect mix?
Frasier is by far one of my top favorite shows of all time.
I could never get into Cheers and, because of that, I never watched Frasier. Years later, though, Frasier is one of my absolute favorite shows. Great writing and a type of humor you don't really find anymore.
Shelly Long was great and her episodes were great but her leaving the show was one of the best things for the show cause Kirstie Alley came in and that essentially created a whole new show with fresh episodes
nah. I understand the longevity point, but the Rebecca character never di it for me, it was suddenly weak link in a consistent quality show - cast and script
@@stephenofmilford1216 Ya she sucked.
Yep, it's like they realised they'd gone far enough with the set up and turned it upside down without wrecking it, and that was great. I like Kirstie Alley in it, especially as the character really grows and changes over the seasons.
I didn't care for either of those 2 personally. But the show is terrific 👌
Nope
This man was part of the 2 greatest sitcoms ever! Incredible.
If he was in The Andy Griffith Show I'd faint. Lol
I wish he had more confidence to do an album, he is an amazing singer and I would definitely buy it in a New York minute. The fraiser theme always makes me smile.
Got me thinking about those tossed salads and scrambled eggs again.
By far the finest comedy ever made
Frazier is truly one of the best TV shows ever made, with few peers.
He is original & respectful human being, i am still watching Frasier everyday💕👏🏾
Bebe Neuwirth was crazy talented, funny, and beautiful.
People say I sound like Lilith. LOL.
I have watched rewatch and it has always calmed my nerves. Love you as side show Bob your whole family is the world greatest show. I love you and Niles. I pray he is coming back also
Roz was on a later episode of cheers as well to interview Woody for his campaign.
Yep, Peri Gilpin.
Kelsey Grammar is a cool guy. Frasier is always gonna be my favorite sitcom. Kelsey owned that character.
You can tell that he got a little choked up about john they must have been great friends.
My father used to love the Frasier show - simply a classic.
kelsey grammer is an amazing actor. my favorite frasier episode is the one where they do the radio mystery theater and niles ends up shooting everyone at the end because he's so fed up with frasier.
This was my favourite show for years F R I E N D S I could take or leave but I did not like to miss an episode of Frasier.
I don't know if anyone who wrote, acted, sang, main, secondary characters, will ever see this, but from my heart, thank you, thank you for so many programs, so many memories, so many moments, from the 70s, 80s and 90s that resonate so much with me it just leaves me speechless sometimes. I'll give an example, play the theme for Cheers, or Wonder Years, or anything else from that era, and I'm immediately back in my friends house, myself and him, my brother, his brother and sister, sitting around watching those programs. His mother popping in and asking if we are okay or would we like anything to drink.
Amazing times. We are all older now, myself a father of three grown kids, my brother 2 boys, my friend and his brother, both engaged. His mother, still alive, but suffering with old age and fading. Barely able to walk. But her wonderful, radiant smile shining as brightly as the day I first seen her, even if sometimes the pain can be also seen.
Thank you everyone involved in these shows, just the sound of the theme tune can send my mind off to better, younger, pain free days.
Thank you from my heart.
I love Frasier! I watch it every night and start over when it ends.
Favorite line - “Charm is the viscous grease with which he oils his flim flam machine!”
Good guest. Good interviewer. I notice when I go to the channel that these clips have very few views. Rich Eisen is calm, nice and asks good questions here in my opinion.
Agreed. And he actually allows the guest to speak. Great interviewer.
Gandor87 Eisen has been doing interviews for decades. Where have you been?
So has Larry King but King would have interrupted him several times.
Excellent observation. Very respectful. Not trying to make the interview about himself. This was a real pleasure to watch
I get these recommended to me once in a while and it's a terrible set and a camera-person doing what they can to leave it out as much as possible: the weird enormous and glowing desk that's also two steps higher than the guest chair.
Painful. Tacky. And just plain rude. I can't watch it.
Mr. Grammer's comment upon the death of John Mahoney just tore me up.
“He was my father. I loved him.”
One of my favorites is Periscope down , used to watch him in both shows Cheers and Frazier....great actor .
Periscope Down was an underrated movie. I wouldn't say it was a classic comedy, but if it was one I would totally re-watch it again.
I was going through a depressive stage in my life when I happened upon the final episode of Fraisier being played in the UK. Losing this show was like losing a friend and almost sent me over the edge. I missed the cast so much. The only American sit com I could not only bear to watch, but really enjoyed.
Aw, look at the feels when he’s talking about the “dad” character in the show.
I watch cheers, then Fraser, and then start over with cheers.... I'm stuck in a loop !
The birth and the end, its the constant flicker of light :)
Frazier is my favorite show of all time, I watch over and over again!
My dad is the spitting image of Kelsey, his name is Kimel, he died a year ago.
This is my way to visit him.
Im sorry to hear that man
@@russellmuscle7434 Appreciate your condolences!
🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm sorry for your loss
Thank God they convinced Kelsey to do Frasier!!! One of my favorite shows of all time! 💕
Love Kelsey Grammer, such a wonderful and talented actor. I thought he was great in Down Periscope, one of my favorite roles of his.
Very interesting. Fraiser is one of my favorite shows. I also read Kelsey Grammer's autobiography, a good read.
Lilith was awesome, as was the dog. David Hyde Pierce should have gotten his own show. DHP bonkers delivery is nothing short of awesome.
You forget David's first love is the theatre.
Kim: I believe that David Hyde Pierce would come back to Frasier, IF he was treated right. Kelsey Grammer tells EVERYONE that the reason Frasier lasted so long was because of him. Kelsey Grammer can brag all he wants, but THE main reason my family, friends, and I watched “Frasier” was because of Niles/David Hyde Pierce (and Daphne and Marty).
The studio needs to try talking to David Hyde Pierce again. Give him the SAME money as Kelsey Grammer, give both of them equal credits, call the show “Niles and Frasier”. There, I fixed it.
What an amazing voice and presence he has
Cheers great, Fraser great. One of the best spin offs.
One of the best, well-written shows of all times. Thanks Frasier Crane - I still laugh to thee!
This is my favorite episode of Frasier
Kevin McHale episode was awesome. Him counting the bolts on the hardwood floor at the Garden.😂😂😂
Love how different Kelsey sounds compared to Frazier. Truly a different character.
I came across Frasier when I used to watch an on the air channel that did re runs of old sitcoms. I was learning English so when Frasier was the next show I would change the channel, because I couldn’t follow much of what was say on the show. Few years went by and I was in college and Frasier was again on that same channel and this time I don’t know why I decided to stay tuned and see if I could follow and OMG it was so funny! Even today 6 years after I watched the show for the first time I find new jokes or references that I didn’t understand or simply didn’t know about. The show is a master piece!
I didnt realize there would be *GUNPLAY IN MY LIVINGROOM*
if you get that reference you are a legend.
LOL That was when Niles bought that practice gun thing and shot it by accident while Frasier was sleeping 🤣🤣🤣

Oh sorry, am I snappy?
"Oh I am sorry, was I being snippy?"
Two of my favorites- Rich Eisen and Kelsy Grammer. How unexpected and fun was this. Thanx guys!
Great stuff! Very intelligent, talented people! Cheers and Frasier... If I was Linus, I'd be dragging these shows around instead of my blanky!
i’m binge watching Frasier the second time through on nexflix. i never could see more than one out of four on tv when it aired!
absolute comic gold! i’ll watch it through again and again. i normally ignore sitcoms, but Frasier is unique.
thank you, kelsey, david, john, jane and peri! as well as everyone else who made Frasier so special!
*Bebe stares in discontempt*
He was fantastic in Boss. Such a powerful change in what hes usually in but played perfectly by him. Tragically too short a show.
I love Kelsey Grammer…FRAZIER was awesome…he was hilarious…the whole cast was great!!🙌👊🏻❤️❤️❤️
Amazing actor. Love him.❤
The most talented guy in the room always! Will never get his due because we stop at Fraser and voice work...way deeper, immense talent...had the success, and to play a role for 20 years is a work ethic admired by all, especially Tom Brady lol...just to show up for 20 years, but to succeed that long!
Still watch Frazier. Amazing script, story line and direction. And of course awesome acting. Still cracks me up.
I still watch Frasier. Love that show. Absolutely love Kelsey grammar. Would love to meet him
Cheers was a great show. Sam n Diane. Frasier was even greater...
Shelley Long was just lucky. She stank as an actor as evidenced by the fact she hasn't done anything since.
Kevin Russell her career fell off after Cheers, but she was absolutely perfect as Diane.
Eric Daniel She was lucky thats all. The writing was perfect and the others made her look good.
Kevin Russell by that standard the whole cast was lucky. The cast and writers were both great. The chemistry Shelley Long and Ted Danson had was really special.
Eric Daniel stop it. Long hasnt done a thing of note since Cheers. The rest of the cast have gone on to much greater work
Fraser was is the funny’s show ever.... I still watch it.....
Kelsey Gramner always reminded me of Bob Hope!
Its so much innocence with frasier the show would always leave me in a happy mood even after a bad day still watch it daily this is what tv is missing!
