Frasier (Season 2) DVD ReviewPosted by Nick Niesen on October 27th, 2010 Much like the shows Seinfeld and Friends, Frasier, the Kelsey Grammer Cheers spin-off, dominated the NBC prime time TV lineup throughout the 1990s. Grammer stars in the title role of Dr. Frasier Crane who, recently divorced, moves back to his home city of Seattle, Washington. Landing a gig as a radio psychiatrist, Frasier reluctantly agrees to let his father Marty (John Mahoney), a Seattle cop recently shot in an attempted robbery, move into his new bachelor pad. Both Frasier and his younger brother Niles (David Hyde Pierce) make a concerted effort to mend the relationship with their estranged father whose beer guzzling friends, plaid shirt wardrobe, and weathered recliner strike a dramatic contrast with the boys and their pretentious social circles. Daphne Moon (Jane Leeves) acts as Frasier?s live-in housekeeper and Marty?s personal physical therapist. The Frasier (Season 2) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including episode #40 where Sam Malone (Ted Danson) visits Frasier in Seattle. Sam fills Frasier in on what the various members of the Cheers gang are now up to. In the next to last episode of the season, Frasier and Niles (against Martin?s advice) purchase a restaurant they enjoyed during their youth and rename it ?Les Freres Heureux? or ?The Happy Brothers?. The two inevitably run the operation into the ground (on opening night, nonetheless)? Below is a list of episodes included on the Frasier (Season 2) DVD: Episode 25 (Slow Tango in South Seattle) Air Date: 09-20-1994 Like it? Share it!More by this author |
