Frasier Complete Collection [DVD]

Product Information

Special features are carried over from the DVD editions for season 1-3 and 11. There are no bonus features for seasons 4-10. No new special features were created for these Blu-rays, though the Celebrity Voices clip reels for seasons 1-3 have been upgraded to HD. Bonus features are generally presented on the final disc in each individual season set. While there is nothing wrong with what is included, most of it is more along the lines of EPK fluff pieces rather than truly in-depth looks at the production of the series – it’s not a loss that there aren’t more of these featurettes for the other seasons. The best bonus feature is the commentary on the pilot, which in a brief period manages to convey a lot of information about how the show began and where it wound up. While it’s understandable that the surviving cast members did not reconvene for a retrospective, it’s slightly disappointing that Kelsey Grammer wasn’t brought in to talk about this show as he works on the forthcoming next chapter of Frasier’s life.

Frasier hosts The Dr. Frasier Crane Show, a call-in psychiatry show on talk radio station, KACL. Though they share few commonalities, Frasier's producer, Roz Doyle (Gilpin) becomes his friend in the series. In the show, she is depicted as both direct and sarcastic, and until she becomes pregnant with her daughter, Alice, her somewhat superficial relationships with men are a topic of conversation. However, Roz and Frasier share a professional respect and a wry sense of humor, and, over time, the two become close friends. Frasier, along with the other characters in the series, often visits the local coffee shop, Café Nervosa, making it a frequent setting in the show.

One element of the original concept that was carried over was the live-in health-care provider for Frasier's father. Grammer points out that very little of the Frasier Crane of Cheers carried over to Frasier, as his family history was changed (though this was later adjusted); the setting, his job and even the character himself changed from the Cheers predecessor, having to be more grounded as the central character of the show so the other supporting characters could be more eccentric.

In spite of the criticisms of the later seasons, these critics were unanimous in praising at least the early seasons, with varied commentary on the series' demise ranging from believing, like Bianco, that the show had run its course to those like Dana Stevens, who bemoaned the end of Frasier as the "end of situation comedy for adults". [61] Critics compared the farcical elements of the series, especially in later seasons, to the older sitcom Three's Company. [62] [63] [64] NBC News contributor Wendell Wittler described the moments of misunderstanding as "inspired by the classic comedy of manners as were the frequent deflations of Frasier’s pomposity". [62] After reluctantly taking his father in, Frasier and Martin conduct a series of interviews to hire a physical therapist and caregiver for his father. Martin, much to Frasier's dismay, is particularly keen on hiring a British caregiver as a live-in, and after a short squabble, the two agree to hire Daphne Moon (Leeves) for the position. Much of the series focuses on Frasier adjusting to living with his father, with whom he has little in common, and his constant annoyances with Martin's dog, Eddie. Frasier frequently spends time with his younger brother, Niles (Pierce), a fellow psychiatrist, who becomes attracted to Daphne and eventually marries her.

Commentary on “The Matchmaker”– Led by director David Lee and writer Joe Keenan, the camaraderie between the two colleagues is evident in their remarks. Recorded towards the end of the series’ run, there is some silence at moments as Lee and Keenan watch the episode, and some spoilers regarding where characters will wind up in later seasons.Grammer has been Emmy-nominated for playing Frasier Crane on Cheers and Frasier, as well as a 1992 crossover appearance on Wings, making him the only performer to be nominated for playing the same role on three different shows. The first year Grammer did not receive an Emmy nomination for Frasier was in 2003 for the 10th season. However, Pierce was nominated every year of the show's run, breaking the record for nominations in his category, with his eighth nomination in 2001; he was nominated a further three times after this.
