FRASIER - THE COMPLETE SIXTH SEASON is a half-hour comedy series set in Seattle, which chronicles the lives of an eloquently pompous radio show host, Dr. Frasier Crane, (Grammer), his competitive, high-brow brother Niles (Hyde Pierce), their crotchety father Martin (Mahoney) and Martin's semi-psychic, live-in home-care provider, Daphne (Leeves). The show made history by becoming the first series, comedy or drama, to achieve a record five consecutive Emmy wins for Outstanding Comedy Series. |

I know that "Seinfeld" holds a singular place in American hearts, although, to me, "Frasier" remains the best-acted and most well-written sitcom of all time. This volume has plenty of choice moments, including the uproarious episode, "Merry Christmas, Mrs. Moskowitz." David Hyde-Pierce proves himself to be one of television's all-time great physical comedians, and John Mahoney is never to be discounted in any genre. I now own two seasons of "Frasier"; I plan to have all of them. |

Few shows share the great wit and comedy that Frasier offered during its run on NBC. A brilliant cast came together with some very gifted writers, and they made magic.
Season 6 has its gems (and its clunkers) as any show does. But as I say, even a Frasier clunker is better than most other television programs.
For me the low point of season six was the dubious addition of the unlikeable Donnie Douglas character and his preposterous romance with Daphne. It is completely unrealistic that a pretty, charming woman like this would be attracted to a gnarled little troll (a very flabby one at that) who looks like he's had a stroke. Why they even cast this person is beyond my comprehension. I couldn't wait for this story arc to end.
Season 6 does offer some delicious episodes.
"How to Bury a Millionaire" is one of my favorite Frasier episodes ever. The simple idea of Niles having to live with Frasier temporarily is gold. The scene where they try to sleep in the same room is fantastic. Then, in the same episode, we see Niles' horrified reaction to the Shangri La apartment complex where he will have to live.
Great stuff.
"Dial M for Martin" is terrific, as is "The Seal Who Came to Dinner" and "Three Valentines" (which features Niles' best physical comedy scene ever).
I love watching this program, and it is very rewatchable on dvd. Sure, the special features are awfully paltry, but I forgive this simply because it's Frasier. Being able to have the dvd's and watch this classy, hilarious show any time is a true pleasure. |
