My mouth is hanging open! I’ve looked for it before!! Thanks! On my order list. Shoot, $200. But worth it...

Frasier has very few “bad” episodes. Many of the episodes are like little Moliere plays.

Nearly every male actor on the show is gay, playing straight, and some of the producers and writers were gay as well, so they LOVE to poke fun at homo-hetero antics, but it’s FUNNY. The very straight, American, ex-cop Dad is a riot, because he is played by a gay Brit. An amazing actor whose American accent is better than House’s.

In the end it was mainly a long-running comedy troupe, with the 5 main characters absolutely creating genius with each other. Poor Kelsey Grammer may have stayed Frasier too long; he just isn’t as good playing anyone else. Still, I am grateful he did create the wonderful, bright, self-absorbed Frasier.

The only thing I would do while watching it with a teen is to remark that they make the characters have these one-night-stands all the time. It’s not reality; it’s what they do to create new love interests for the sake of comedy. You wouldn’t want young teens to think everyone does this, or that it’s right to.

He's good as "Sideshow Bob"

It's my favorite show ever.

For me, by far the greatest episode is where he meets Faye after being set up by Faye's mother.

The Crane's have to pretend to be Jewish while a ham is cooking in the oven, Christmas is approaching, and Niles and Daphne are involved in a production of 'Jesus Christ Superstar.'

I cry everytime I see it.
