Frasier Complete Collection [DVD]

"Frasier" is a comedy program about a radio-psychiatrist in Seattle, taken from the character of Frasier in "Cheers".A classic program with a great balance of features. It's a clever comedy, but not something you have to be "super-smart" to enjoy (despite what some people think). Some episodes have an element of farse that would rival Fawlty Towers, like "The Ski Lodge" or "Perspectives On Christmas". Others throw the characters into brilliant predicaments, like Frasier and and his brother Niles trying to maintain a new restaurant without a kitchen staff or accidentally getting their father high on pot. The characters are all convincing and funny and really go well together, even when they clash (i.e. the father-son relationship of Frasier/Niles and their dad). The dialogue is superbly clever and funny and is just full of great one-liners as well some really amusing speeches. All of this comes together in a beautiful style that is unique to "Frasier".The box set is also a good buy (at least when I got it at £85). The 11 series are arranged in 4 leafed cases within the box and the dvds are the same as in the individual series box sets (including the interviews and celebrity voices features of the early series). Each episode of each series is indexed on the back of these cases so you know where to find what you're looking for. Since the episodes tend to have clever, catchy titles it's often very easy to remember which episode a particular moment happened in.In short, if you've got the money, it's more than worth buying. Even if you watched it non-stop, it would still take days to go through it all, and it's the kind of program you can watch repeatedly (I have and will continue to do so). There's no program out there (comedy or otherwise) that I'd rank above "Frasier".

The Frasier Complete Collection DVD set is a must-have for fans of the classic TV show. The set includes all eleven seasons of the beloved sitcom, as well as bonus features and behind-the-scenes content that will delight fans.One of the main strengths of this collection is the excellent picture and sound quality. The episodes have been remastered and restored, making them look and sound better than ever before. The picture is sharp and clear, while the sound is crisp and clean, making it easy to hear every word of the witty and fast-paced dialogue.In addition to the episodes themselves, the Frasier Complete Collection also includes a wealth of bonus features and behind-the-scenes content. Fans can enjoy interviews with the cast and crew, bloopers and outtakes, and commentary tracks that offer insight into the making of the show.One potential downside of this collection is its price, as it may be considered expensive for some viewers. Additionally, the show's humor may not appeal to everyone, as it is often highbrow and intellectual.Overall, the Frasier Complete Collection DVD set is an excellent choice for fans of the show who want to relive all the laughs and unforgettable moments from the series. With its excellent picture and sound quality, as well as the bonus features and behind-the-scenes content, it is a must-have for any fan of classic television comedy.

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.

Absolutely amazing and worth any price. The previous bad reviews must've received bad copies of this, but this one, in the yellow case with lovely Eddie on the front is amazing. There is no censorship and the play all begins in series 4 but it's not that difficult in previous episodes. Talk about people and their first world problems.I love that Eddie is the only cast member on the cover and as an animal lover this was perfect for me. My only wish was that he had been shown more in the season finale but he wasn't at all.I've only watched a few episodes of Cheers before so I knew very little about Frasier but this show is practically perfect, perfect cast, perfect chemistry, perfect writing and perfect sets. I'm sad it's over but I will always cherish this boxset and these amazing characters.
