"Frasier" is an American television sitcom that was broadcast on NBC from September 16, 1993, to May 13, 2004. The series was created and produced by David Angell, Peter Casey, and David Lee in association with Paramount Network Television.

Premise:

The show follows Dr. Frasier Crane, a psychiatrist who returns to his hometown of Seattle to build a new life as a radio talk show host. The series begins with Frasier moving in with his father, Martin Crane, a retired police officer played by John Mahoney. Frasier's younger brother, Niles Crane, a fellow psychiatrist portrayed by David Hyde Pierce, also plays a significant role in the series. The show often highlights the rivalry and camaraderie between the highly cultured Frasier and Niles and the more down-to-earth Martin.

Supporting Characters:

  • Daphne Moon (Jane Leeves): Martin's live-in physical therapist and later Niles' love interest.
  • Roz Doyle (Peri Gilpin): Frasier's producer at the radio station, KACL, and his close friend.
  • Eddie: Martin's beloved Jack Russell Terrier who often steals scenes with his antics.

Themes and Style:

"Frasier" is well-regarded for its intelligent humor, witty dialogue, and sophisticated themes. The show often explores topics such as family dynamics, romantic relationships, and the clash between high culture and everyday life. It also addresses the challenges of middle age and the complexities of sibling relations.

"Frasier" received critical acclaim and won numerous awards during its run, including 37 Primetime Emmy Awards, setting a record at the time for a scripted series. Kelsey Grammer received multiple awards for his portrayal of Frasier Crane, and David Hyde Pierce also won several awards for his performance.

The show's influence and popularity have persisted over the years, maintaining a devoted fanbase and finding new audiences through syndication and streaming services.
