Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

denizskantz I probably watched this show about 3 times times and each time I found something new that I resonate more and more with fraiser. Great show! totally recommend it!

Dave Many episodes of this are very well-written and acted. The characters and the interactions between them are often well-observed. The contrast between highly-educated people (including the protagonist and his brother, Niles) and less educated people (including their father, Martin, and Frasier's assistant, Roz) is used to good effect. The writers made some major mistakes: a) Some episodes are weak and boring, with little entertaining content. b) Roz is from Wisconsin, but she always speaks with a Texan accent. c) Daphne is from Manchester and retains her strong accent. However, she frequently switches from speaking in British English, to American English, and back again - sometimes within an episode.d) Frasier and Niles are patronising, arrogant snobs - which makes it difficult for viewers to like them.

Sss Tried my best to like the show. And some of the non-Frasier characters (Niles, Roz) seem crisp in their dialogue delivery, but even just into the fourth season, the story lines are getting utterly predictable. For far too many episodes, after watching the first five minutes, I pretty much know how the rest of it goes, including the "jokes"/so- called "witty writing". In the first 4 seasons, I have now seen about 5-6 episodes along 'Frasier meets/likes girl/is set up... things go hot, but the whole thing backfires, with some blabber/angry dialogue from FC'. Plus, there's one annoying/loud/lame character after another, including Frasier himself. How he's been nominated/gotten these awards is beyond me.Yes, there are some well-written episodes, but for too many average/ un-funny ones. For the record, just because the characters use lots of French words or blabber loudly, does not automatically make the writing "witty" or "funny".Still better than the average fare out there, but with too many droll/unlikable characters, this is far from being the best ever at anything.

besyuziki 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.
