Reviewing a Series/Show: Frasier
Frasier is a spin-off of the show Cheers. Cheers was all about a group of close friends at a bar named “Cheers” in Boston. Frasier ran from 1993 to 2004. The show surrounded the life of psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane when he moves to Seattle, Washington after a disastrous marriage to Psychiatrist Lilith Sternin. When Frasier arrives in the “windy city” he has trouble adjusting to a new life, the fact that he soon takes in his dad to live with him doesn’t help either. Let’s just say Martin Crane is more of a common man than Frasier is. Often times there way of life did not agree. Frasier is now a radio psychiatrist at KACL 780(?), giving mental health advice to callers. He has a sex-starved/boy-crazy producer named Roz Doyle. Her tendencies have made for great humor through out the entirety of the series. Frasier develops a closer relationship with his brother, Psychiatrist Dr. Niles Crane, and their urge for sibling competition never subsides, whether it be on the Squash courts or who can throw the best party, and even who gets into the wine-sipping Empire Club… We are soon introduced to a quirky, young, and attractive woman of English origin named Daphne Moon. Daphne became Martin’s health care worker who seemed to take on the role of a maid… It is not long before Niles develops a boyish, yet steadfast attraction to her, which the writers have used to get many a laugh…. Frasier is the only television show to receive five consecutive Emmys for “Outstanding Comedy Series” and received a record-breaking total of 37 Emmy awards in its entire span…. The shows was & is very successful because of a superb cast, Kelsey grammer, Peri Gilpin, Jane Leeves, and more. The writers must also be given credit, among them were quite a few familiar names from Cheers. To see more information on this wonderful comedy I recommend Wikipedia and IMDB.
