Frasier The Complete Seventh Season :: Education by Design Store

Editorial Review
This is the pivotal season that finally, finally brings together Niles (David Hyde Pierce) and Daphne (Jane Leeves), Frasier's answer to Ross and Rachel. Daphne, engaged to Donny (Saul Rubinek), learns of Niles' unrequited feelings for her from an extremely medicated Frasier in "Back Talk." If Daphne's impending marriage was not obstacle enough to keep them apart, there is fussy, phobic, and formidable Dr. Mel Karnofsky (Jane Adams), Maris's former plastic surgeon, who is introduced in "The Late Dr. Crane" as a romantic interest for Niles. The season culminates in the Emmy-nominated episode "Something Borrowed, Someone Blue," arguably the show's very best, and most satisfying cliffhanger, in which Niles and Daphne make like Ben and Elaine in The Graduate, only in a Winnebago. Bebe Neuwirth makes another memorable return as the dread Lilith Crane in "The Apparent Trap," in which son Frederick employs psychological warfare to try and get a mini-bike from his parents. Episodes featuring Frasier's amoral agent Bebe Glaser (Harriet Samson Harris) are always a season highlight, and "Morning Becomes Entertainment" is no exception, as Bebe and Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) team up to host a TV morning chat show (who knew that Frasier had "a way with voices," as witness his Sean Connery and James Mason impressions!). Dan Butler also returns as Bulldog in the poignant episode "The Dog That Rocks the Cradle," A welcome addition to Frasier's gallery of colorful characters in Simon (Anthony LaPaglia in an Emmy-nominated performance), Daphne's besotted brother.

best sit com in its time

This enitre series of Frasier is great. Very smart and funny. I am on my second time watching the series almost back to back!

Frasier, Season 7

2008-06-10
Well, the "Frasier" team .. even in season 7 .. was witty, subtle .. and productive (in the better sense). Please give credit to the writers .. and the comedians/comediennes .. and the overall, very-high quality of how a spin-off (of "Cheers") could make it's own niche, in the old sit-com part of originality.

Excellent season of Fraiser

2007-10-31
As usual Fraiser and his family made me laugh. I was rolling off my couch several times while I was watching this season as I was laughing so hard. Brilliant season, and at the end of this season the fans finally have the hope that Daphne and Niles will be together in the next season.

Frasier Seventh Season Review

Not much to say. Great series. Great how the writters continue to build on the previous seasons.

The Frasier season we were waiting for

2007-06-30
If you are a Frasier fan and have watched it through the years, season 7 is the season you definately want to own. For years you have watched Niles' worship of Daphne. Season 7 gives you want to see in that regard. This season is one of the reasons that Frasier is just good T.V.

Frasier Crane is a witty and urbane New Yorker cartoon in a lewd, crude shock jock world. In the hilarious episode "Radio Wars," he literally becomes the butt of his radio station's new morning team's stunts. Frasier is also at odds with his substitute producer, Mary (Kim Coles), a you-go-girl black woman, in "Something About Dr. Mary." The series excelled at farce, and "RDWRER" is vintage Frasier, as the Crane men embark on a New Year's Eve road trip to Sun Valley, and Niles mistakenly thinks he's been kidnapped when he falls asleep in the wrong Winnebago. Another season benchmark is "Out with Dad," in which Frasier is compelled to pass off his father (John Mahoney) as gay. The lack of extras on this four-disc set is disappointing, but as wine snob Frasier might say, the seventh season was a very good year for the show that bears his name, and it's a pleasure to uncork its many delights. --Donald Liebenson

As good as always 2007-01-03
Same old Frasier Crane, and co. Quality comedy that you can watch and watch. We love it.. As good as some of the early series, great writing as always.

Funny Frasier 2006-11-13
Frasier just keeps getting funnier and funnier. This season would have to be one of my favourites as all the characters begin to mould into great people and start to know what they are after. Great viewing!

Frasier is OKAY 2006-09-23
When I watched Cheers I always thought that Dr. Krane should have a spinoff. I like the show. My problem is with the Niles Characher. He and Frasier are too similar in my own opinion. Also I think Niles was just a replacement character for Lillith. I think she should have been on the spin off. Also I never believed the dad character fit in as the father of these 2 snobs. Funny show but like Friends its a little overrated.

Frasier 7th 2006-07-10
Excellent dialogue and wit. The comedic talents of Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce are outstanding as well as the rest of the cast. This season has the same high quality writing and directing as the prior six seasons. This is a highly recommended DVD set if you enjoy high brow humor with down to earth banter and wit.
