frasier and his brother, niles, are so pompous that they are so laughable. i now have the whole collection (thank you amazon) and anytime i get sad, i just put one of the seasons in and i start laughing.

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.
Frasier Sixth Season Review 2007-10-27
Not much to say. Great series. Great how the writters continue to build on the previous seasons.
A Wit No Longer Found 2007-08-21
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.
Comedy galore! 2007-08-01
I have been a fan of Frazier since the beginning. My husband never watched the show until I purchased these discs. Now, he is hooked! We laugh out loud and can't wait to pop in the next disc. A must for any collector of great comedy. They don't produce shows like Frazier any more...
A Great Season of Frasier 2007-03-10
I truly find every episode a delight to watch and some are hysterically funny. And it is just so much better to view without commercial interruption. I have every season available and they are treasures I will be able to view again and again, over time.
Well worth the investment, new or used if you a fan of Frasier.
And it is fun to watch in sequence, season by season, to see the development of the characters and the progression of their ups and downs as they are meant to be seen.
Most anxious to get Seasons 9 and 10 to complete my series.

Frasier is great laughs for the whole family 2006-06-26
I don't know about you but TV is getting worse and worse. It is hard to find a series to watch consistantly as a family. That's why my wife and I have started to purchase series we loved as kids and later as adults. Frasier is one of those series that we have chosen. Originally I feigned their purchase, knowing that the sexual standards were low and at times the characters were involvled in sexual banter, having re-rented a few of the shows, we decided to go ahead and purchase one season at a time. As we watched season by season, our kids became hooked. We have laughed as a family more during these shows than at any other sitcom to date. We have had to edit the sleezy parts and really wished they had not had people in and out of each other's beds, but if you can get past these things, then you will find Fraiser to be a great show. Season Six is especially funny. Niles is the real gem of the show, though the father-son and brother-brother dynamics adds depth and opportunities for series family talks on important matters. We use all films not only for entertainment but to produce family discussions on a variety of issues. We teach our kids our values and ethics, faith and love, rules and grace, and how to get along with others in this world. Fraiser can also be used as a god discussion starter that allows you to pass on your values in a natural, non-preachy, way.
Flashes of Brilliance 2006-04-16
While this season continues a downward trend which started as early as the third season, there are still some flashes of brilliance here.
Frasier does ultimately get his job back at the radio station, and salsa music is banished. But the best episode lies a little ahead, on disk three...
My personal favorite episode is "Three Valentines," which combines some of the best Frasier elements. It starts out with Niles, solo at Frasier's place, preparing for a date with the president of the wine club. The writing is so clever and, as much, Niles' acting of the complex physical requirements, timing, and facial expression through an entirely silent sequence is just amazing - as good as anything you'd get in the whole series.
This is almost matched by Frasier's comedy of perception and expectation with the great-looking Communications Director of the station (played by Virginia Madsen in her prime). Again, the writing is strong and the acting matches it - although you can see just a hint of the upcoming trouble we're soon to have with Kelsey Grammer.
But the best one is the segment between Daphne and Martin. His cynical crustiness plays off Daphne's despondency over spending Valentine's Day without a date, and weakens when he realizes that she does not find him an "attractive older man."
Overall, the season is a really good one - enjoyable, relaxed and not quite yet as formulaic as seasons ahead.
