Frasier - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Chocoholic · 08-05-2003, 02:21 PM

Does anyone here watch Frasier? I wanted to like the show because I love the character on Cheers, but Frasier never really interested me that much. I stopped watching regularly when Wings went off the air. It's still funnier than a lot of the garbage that has come out in recent years though.

Frasier may be the more popular, award winning, critically-acclaimed show, but I'll take Wings any day.

Snoopy, I'm a big fan of Frasier. Actually you could say I'm a big fan of Kelsey Grammer. But I've always loved the character of FRASIER and then when the show started they had such a great cast with Jane Leeves and David Hyde Pierce etc...and the writing was so good that I liked it from the start.

Being that the creators of Wings (Casey, Lee, Angell) were the ones that created Frasier it was no wonder I liked it. I always wondered how much it hurt the continuity of Wings when they started working on Frasier because it's hard to do two TV shows at once. Even though I know people like David Kelly have done that.

I thought Frasier dropped off a bit last season, and I'm actually glad this will be the last year because I think they have run out of things to do with the characters, but like you said, even a poor Frasier episode is better then 95% of the rest of TV.

Frasier is one of the few shows I watch on a regular basis. I didn't start watching it from the beginning because I'll admit, I'm not really a Cheers fan. I just could never get in to that show. So I figured Frasier would be similar. When Frasier started winning all the Emmys, I figure I'd check it out. I haven't watched all the episodes from last season(wasn't the whole Niles' heart condition last season?), but the episodes I do watch, I still laugh at them, even if they aren't as good as previous years. I'm going to try to watch all of next season, with it being their last season.

I've never actually watched the show until I started watching the reruns of it once in a while that are on at 12 AM, while I was waiting for Wings to come on at 1. And it is a good show. It's pretty funny. But I still haven't really gotten into it enough to watch it regularly.

Chocoholic · 08-07-2003, 02:26 PM

I don't think Frasier is really a bad show. It has some really funny moments. I just can't seem to get into it though. I'm weird, I guess

Anyone else have that problem with certain TV shows?

Mr. Television · 08-07-2003, 02:32 PM

I have never been able to get into Frasier either, although I do like Cheers. I will probably watch the final episode though. The shows I watch usually guest star one of the cast from Cheers.

I love Cheers too, although I greatly prefer the Rebecca years. I don't like the Diane years too much.

I'm at a point where I kind of like "Cheers", but it's not a show I go around saying how great it was. I don't go to the Cheers messageboard. I did buy season one on DVD and plan to buy the rest. However, I prefer the Diane-Coach years.

As for "Frasier", I've only seen a couple episodes. And like Krista said, it was (or should I say is) a funny show, but I don't watch it regularly. I didn't buy the DVD. I think Kelsey Grammer is a nice guy and I wish him the best of luck in his Post-"Frasier" years.

Now ask me about "NewsRadio", I'll go on and on for days.

No seriously, I will.

I Like Frasier on Cheers but i never got into his own show either. Dont get me wrong its a pretty good show i just think it lacks the "Fun" I Like in a TV Show.

Crimson and Clover · 08-08-2003, 01:56 AM

I used to watch Frasier, but after Niles and Daphne got together I stopped watching. I liked him better on Cheers though.

Yeah, Cheers is cool. for a while I was watching it every night on N@N, but then I kind of got bored with it. but I still watch it once in a while.
I like the Rebecca years better then the Diane years too. lol. I thought Rebecca was much funnier. Diane had some funny lines like when she would say things like, "Go mate with a squid!" to Sam when he ticked her off.

But I usually found her kind of annoying. but that's just my opinion.

I think "Frasier" is hilarious, and it's one of the only shows that I like that's still on...usually I'm watching reruns of other shows (like "Wings"!). But I haven't watched "Frasier" this past season, except for a couple episodes, which were still pretty funny, but not as fun as previous seasons. I think it's becoming more clear that it's almost time for the show's run to come to an end, though it was a great run.

lol I love all of the Cheers years...lol all eleven seasons. Though I must say that Diane Chambers(as you can see from my user name) is my favorite character. Her and Sam are my two favorite then Rebecca comes right under there. Rebecca is really funny too...but the thing was Ted Danson and Shelley Long have incredible on screen chemistry, and they just have ridiculously funny moments together.Rebecca was just funny to watch...she would make such a fool of herself without anyones help
