Frasier Complete Collection [DVD]

Going through the 44 discs. Nice to watch again. Have to be gentle with the case as discs stacked on top of each other.

I enjoyed the series and it's great to have to watch whenever I want to

The second best US TV show ever made. Only MASH surpasses it. Fantastic scripts, brilliant actors, and consistently well directed.The main cast has a range of characters so that almost anyone will identify with to some extent, which helps pull you in to the show.The laughs just keep on coming, whether silly sniggers, uproarious guffaws or total bellyaches.Each season or half season tends to have a story arc, with the whole show also having a fantastic level of progression for each of the characters.Personally, I’m a big fan of Frasiers brother Niles. David Hyde Pierce absolutely embodies the character with a set of quirky and nuanced personality traits and physical ticks. I also loved the original Eddie, played by a dog called Moose. Honestly, I’ve never seen an on screen animal character so fanatically characteristic.There are few weak points in the show, just the occasional episodes that some people may not enjoy as much, and this will vary from person to person, but they are few and far between. Given the length of the shows run, this is much better than most shows manage.As far as the technical aspects go, I can now safely give this a 5* rating as they have moved from the original box sets terrible cardboard sleeve implementation, to a conventional multi-disc plastic DVD case, same as the Cheers one. The original cardboard sleeve set left marks on the discs that meant sometimes there was a problem playing the disc. This new version means no issues, every disc played flawlessly.If you have never watched Frasier, or his original home in Cheers, then honestly, I do recommend you try it. I wouldnt recommend trying it on the Amazon Prime Video, the file quality is terrible, but you could try the first episode to see if you like the comedy. Then buy the box set, as once you’ve seen it, you’ll likely want to watch it again and again over the years.

I missed the first few seasons of 'Frasier' because I thought it was yet another American sitcom but after seeing a few episodes I was hooked.Like 'Cheers' (270 episodes) before it, Frasier (263 episodes) ran for 11 series and both series are widely recognized as two of the finest comedy sitcoms in American television history which subsequently acquired a huge following around the World. It's nearest English competitor is probably 'Fawlty Towers' which ran for a mere 12 episodes.It was in Cheers (1982-1993) that the character of Dr. Frasier Crane first made an appearance. Frasier was played by Kelsey Grammer (DoB 21/2/55) who did not appear in Cheers until after the first couple of series had aired but who proved so popular that he went on to appear in 201 episodes. When Cheers ended in 1993 in was soon followed by Frasier (1993 - 2004) which proved another hit for Kelsey Grammer. It is rare for an actor to be associated with two consecutive, long running comedy sitcoms but Kelsey Grammer proved it could be done. He not only starred but directed many of the episodes himself. Kelsey Grammer's next comedy venture, 'Back to You' (2007-2008) proved to be a massive flop and was cancelled after just 17 episodes.There are 6 central characters in Frasier: Dr. Frasier Crane (psychiatrist and radio personality), Dr. Niles Crane (psychiatrist and younger brother), Daphne Moon (home help), Martin Crane (father and retired policeman), Roz Doyle (Frasier's radio show producer) and Eddie (the family dog).The comedy series follows the unlikely exploits of Dr Frasier Crane and the supporting characters which in the majority of cases ends in mishap or disaster for the Crane brothers who are pompous, pedantic, self-important and paranoid. Several of the Cheers characters have also made guest appearances in Frasier.Eddie was played by two dogs: Moose and Enzo.Two of the main actors: John Mahoney (Martin Crane) and Jane Leeves (Daphne Moon) are British born. Other well known British actors and actresses make guest appearances in the series. John Cleese is probably the best known of them and his manic acting style perfectly complements the American series.When I heard that a boxed set of the entire 11-year series of Frasier was available I decided I must have one. I waited (fortunately) and purchased a boxed set for less than GBP8.00 per series. That was a REAL bargain considering the total playing time for the entire series is around 94 hours.I often watch the endless repeats of Frasier of Freeview but now I know I will never miss a single episode.
