Emmy Award winner Kelsey Grammer is Frasier-the hilarious psychiatrist first seen on TV's Cheers and subsequently the star of this smash-hit comedy series. Making the move from Boston to his former hometown of Seattle, a newly divorced Dr. Frasier Crane (Grammer) finds himself on the radio airwaves as the host of his own call-in advice show. When he's not dealing with the problems of his troubled listeners, he's embroiled in skirmishes at home involving Marty, his retired police detective father; Daphne, his father's physical therapist; his younger brother (and rival) Niles; and Eddie...his father's devious dog!

FRASIER made history by becoming the first series, comedy or drama, to achieve a record five consecutive Emmy wins for Outstanding Comedy Series. With this achievement, the series stands ahead CHEERS, the series from which FRASIER was spun-off.

Overall, FRASIER has earned a total of 30 Emmys (more than any other series in history), including three for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Grammer) and two for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (Pierce). It's also interesting to point out that Kelsey Grammer has been playing the part of FRASIER for over 17 years now, and the show has also served several times for appearances from almost all characters from CHEERS, excluding Kirstie Alley, who is thus far to guest on FRASIER.

In entering its ninth season, FRASIER earned a total of 21 Emmys, including three for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Grammer) and two for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (David Hyde Pierce). The series has gained the prestigious People’s Choice Awards for Favorite Television Comedy and Favorite New Television Comedy Series; a Humanitas Prize; Golden Globes for Best Musical or Comedy Series and Best Actor, and the TV Guide Award as Favorite Comedy Series, along with many other great compliments.

Paramount presents a very nice transfer on this DVD series. Fans of the television comedy/drama will be thrilled. FRASIER is a comedy/drama that is delightful, hilarious and sharp. Fans will not be disappointed with this DVD presentation. FRASIER appears with a nice video transfer, great audio track and terrific extras. Highly recommended.
