5 out of 5 stars Best show on TV    November 12, 2008
Farnoosh (USA)
I absolutely and positively love this show, so there is no other rating to give it than a 5 star. I recommend you start from the very beginning so you are very familiar with the characters. Dr. Frasier Crane never disappoints.

...tossed salads and scrambled eggs! I love Frasier! This season wasn't as easy for the writers on Frasier. They had to work in Jane Leeves real-life pregnancy, but that worked in their favor in the end since they were able to make it seem like she was just getting fat to avoid consumating her relationship with Niles. They padded her up nicely, too, so she didn't just look like they were covering up a pregnant belly - she looked bigger all around.

I liked the whole season, but it lacked a certain something - I think the decrease in Niles and Frasier's time together on the show has put a bit of a damper on things. Since Niles and Daphne's relationship progressed, though, it was only natural that it would happen.

Still, great season! I love the whole show, and I will always be a Frasier fanatic!

The first 7 seasons of "Frazier" are, truly, among the best television entertainment ever. But Season 8 is where the cracks in the series' artifice begin to form.

To be fair, there are a couple of standout episodes: Derek Jacobi as hammy Shakespearean actor, "Jackson Hedley," and Illeanna Douglas as station manager Kenny's wife, appear in installments that are worthy of earlier seasons. And, the scene where Roz breaks up with her French-only-speaking boyfriend, using Frasier to translate for her, is eye-watering hilarious.

But for the most part, the main actors sleepwalk through their roles, and the writing stretches their character development beyond recognition.

For example: The scene where Roz, Martin, Daphne and Niles sit in the living-room area, and each character agrees to confess to something about his or her life that no one else yet knows. Before her turn, Roz states that she's not sure if any of the others can handle what she has to say. Martin counters by bragging that, as a former cop, Roz couldn't possibly say anything that would surprise him. Roz whispers her secret into Martin's ear. His eyes widen, then his jaw falls with a look of disgust. He silently gets up and walks out of the room....Yup, you guessed it, that's considered a joke in Season 8. But it's patronizing, and half-baked, and unfortunately, most of Season 8 is filled with scenes just like it.

At this point, the series lacks the brisk energy and skillful writing that made the first seven seasons sparkle. In other words, you receive 4 disks of episodes, but only half of them - at best - are worth watching.

Grudgingly, I give Season 8 the benefit of the doubt in terms of recommending it. But it took me well over a month before finally deciding to spend my hard-earned money on it.

Season 8 will definitely be the last "Frasier" I purchase. For certain, Seasons 9 - 11 are a waste of money.

The DVDS are great, but some of the plastic was not intact and the first DVD does not stay on.
