pompous title character. Fortunately, the sniping between Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) and his father, Marty (John Mahoney), that took up a lot of the first season is mostly past, and the crack ensemble was ready to roll in a number of memorable episodes. Frasier tries to set up Daphne (Jane Leeves) with the new station manager in "The Matchmaker," Frasier, Niles (David Hyde Pierce), and Marty go fishing in "Breaking the Ice," Frasier and Niles jump into politics in "The Candidate," the team of Frasier and Roz (Peri Gilpin) breaks up ("Roz in the Doghouse"), and Frasier and Niles open a restaurant in "The Innkeepers." It was Pierce's Niles who emerged as a star in the second season, lusting after Daphne, learning about parenthood in "Flour Child," and challenging a Bavarian fencer for the hand of his ever-absent wife, Maris, in the comic tour de force "An Affair to Forget." Pierce picked up a well-deserved first Emmy, and the show repeated its first-season Emmys for comedy series and lead actor. Frasier's dates included Jobeth Williams (whom he takes on a disastrous getaway to Bora Bora), Shannon Tweed, and Tea Leoni, and other guest stars were Nathan Lane and, from his original show,Cheers, Bebe Neuwirth and Ted Danson.--David Horiuchi

As a result I have watched on TV a range of comedy shows that I had never heard of before and some of these have become such firm favourites that I have asked for DVDs of some of them as gifts.
One of these favourites is ... ...around a Seattle-based psychiatrist called Frasier Crane (played by Kelsey Grammer) who has a radio talk-show produced by a vivacious lady called Roz (played by Peri Gilpin). He has a younger brother, Niles (played by David Hyde Pierce), who is also a psychiatrist but who has his own private practice. In Season One, their father, Martin (John Mahoney), and Martin's dog, Eddie, a bouncy Jack Russell Terrier come to live with Frasier in his luxury ...
