Bianco, Robert (May 12, 2004). "Sophisticated 'Frasier' signs off". USA Today. Archived from the original on November 30, 2011 . Retrieved April 22, 2009. Seasons ten and eleven were originally broadcast in high definition, and the disc set reuses those existing masters. Though they are perfectly satisfactory, there have been improvements in film scanning and editing technology since then, and eagle-eyed viewers will note that the last two seasons aren’t quite as sharp or detailed as the first nine. There’s less visible film grain here, with occasional hints of digital noise. There’s nothing objectionable or wrong with these last two seasons, but they’re not the night and day improvement found in the earlier ones. Mark my words - this show is all set in time to go down as the classic US sitcom of the 90s. 'Friends' may have gotten the greater media coverage when it left its own building in the same year, but 'Frasier' will always be the superior show.The first four seasons were also released on VHS along with a series of 'Best Of' tapes. These tapes consisted of four episodes taken from seasons 1–4. The Crane Brothers Remember Season Three (12:50)– Kelsey Grammar and David Hyde Pierce reminisce about their characters in an interview filmed later in the show’s run. In the eighth-season Cheers episode "Two Girls for Every Boyd," Frasier tells Sam Malone (played by Ted Danson) that his father, a research scientist, had died. [24] In the Frasier season-two episode " The Show Where Sam Shows Up," when Sam meets Martin, Frasier explains that at the time, he was angry after an argument with his father on the phone; [41] however, in " The Show Where Woody Shows Up," when meeting Martin, Woody says he remembers hearing about him. [42] Cafe Nervosa: The Connoisseur's Cookbook, claimed to be authored by Frasier and Niles Crane and published while the show was still in production. [75] Barnes, Anthony (September 6, 2000).

In terms of acting quality, the central cast was always strong, particularly Kelsey Grammar, at his utmost prime not just in fulfilling the role of our protagonist, but also in singing 'Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs' over the end-credits of every episode (who knew what those words were supposed to mean, but it was a great theme song! I still catch myself humming it from time to time).

Only one episode, " The 1000th Show", was filmed in Seattle. [33] As with Cheers, most episodes were filmed on Stage 25, Paramount Studios, [23] or at various locations in and around Los Angeles.

Grammer had been the voice of Sideshow Bob on The Simpsons since 1990. In a 1997 episode (while Frasier was still in production), the character's brother, Cecil Terwilliger, was introduced, played by Pierce, as per the reference in the episode title, " Brother from Another Series". The episode contained numerous Frasier references, including a Frasier-style version of The Simpsons theme for a transition and its iconic title card for the same thing. Pierce returned as Cecil for the second time (the first since Frasier had concluded) alongside Grammer in the 2007 episode " Funeral for a Fiend". The episode introduced the brothers' father, Dr. Robert Terwilliger, who was portrayed by Mahoney. In spite of the criticisms of the later seasons, these critics were unanimous in praising at least the early seasons, with varied commentary on the series' demise ranging from believing, like Bianco, that the show had run its course to those like Dana Stevens, who bemoaned the end of Frasier as the "end of situation comedy for adults". [61] Critics compared the farcical elements of the series, especially in later seasons, to the older sitcom Three's Company. [62] [63] [64] NBC News contributor Wendell Wittler described the moments of misunderstanding as "inspired by the classic comedy of manners as were the frequent deflations of Frasier’s pomposity". [62] The series won a total of 37 Primetime Emmy Awards during its 11-year run, breaking the record long held by CBS' The Mary Tyler Moore Show (29). It held the record until 2016 when Game of Thrones won 38. [66] Grammer and Pierce each won four, including one each for the fifth and eleventh seasons. The series is tied with ABC's Modern Family for the most consecutive wins for Outstanding Comedy Series, winning five from 1994 to 1998.

The character of Niles was not part of the original concept for the show. Frasier had told his bar friends on Cheers that he was an only child; [21] [23] however, Sheila Guthrie, the assistant casting director on Wings, brought the producers a photo of Pierce (whom she knew from his work on The Powers That Be) and noted his resemblance to Grammer when he first appeared on Cheers. She recommended him should they ever want Frasier to have a brother. The creators were "blown away" both by his resemblance to Grammer and by his acting ability. [22] They decided to ignore Frasier's statement on Cheers and created the role for Pierce. [21] [26] Pierce accepted the role before realizing he had not read a script. Once he was given a script, he was initially concerned that his character was essentially a duplicate of Frasier, thinking that it would not work. [21] The first table reading of the pilot script was notable because the producers had never heard either Pierce or Mahoney read lines, as they were cast without auditions. [21] On November 8, 2022, Paramount Pictures released Frasier: The Complete Series on Blu-ray as a box set, containing 33 Blu-ray Discs with some extra’s and behind the scenes. [80]
