Tournament Round One: Frasier (1993) vs. Raising Hope - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Back when the Emmys actually meant something, Frasier beat The Mary Tyler Moore's previous Emmy record. The original run was 11 seasons on NBC from 1993-2004, which is very rare for a spin-off. Starring Kelsey Grammer as Dr. Frasier Crane and David Hyde Pierce as his brother Dr. Niles Crane. They have the best chemistry of any TV brothers I have ever seen. Rest of the original cast was great as well with Jane Leeves as Daphne Moon/Crane, Peri Gilpin as Roz Doyle, and John Mahoney as Martin Crane. Martin rose from the Cheers dead and Niles didn't even exist there.

Raising Hope aired for four seasons on FOX from 2010-2014. It "introduces" Cloris Leachman as senile grandma Maw Maw. Lucas Neff stars as a young single father Jimmy Chance who gets help from his parents, Virginia (Martha Plimpton) and Burt (Garret Dillahunt). Also starring Shannon Woodward as Jimmy's coworker and eventual girlfriend Sabrina.
