10 Highest Rated Episodes Of Frasier

Frasier was one of the shining lights of 90’s sitcoms. The show, starring Kelsey Grammer, David Hyde Pierce, John Mahoney, Peri Gilpin and Jane Leeves, is one of the most beloved comedies of all time. Frasier ran for 11 Seasons, and with the exception of 1 season, barely waned in quality from start to finish.

Frasier continues to hold a cult status to this day. The show runners were determined to create a show which could transcend time periods, and with the exception of a reference here or there, they did a wonderful job.

It’s difficult to remember now, but in 1993, Frasier as a concept was considered a big gamble. The idea of a pompous, arrogant psychiatrist being the centre point of a sitcom was a foreign concept and the studios were nervous it may not succeed.

As we now know, not only did Frasier succeed, but it has become one of the greatest and most iconic sitcoms that’s ever been made.
