Frasier Complete Collection [DVD]

8/9/2010 - I honestly don't see how anyone can possibly complain about this set! Then again, I purchased the set *directly* from Amazon and received it in *precisely* the packaging that has been portrayed here in its online listing (one package/box per season). Audio quality is excellent. Video quality is also excellent, especially considering that the oldest episodes were (apparently) not digitally enhanced - as far as I can tell, NONE of the episodes were but the transfers were excellent nonetheless. All 40+ discs play perfectly well. Many of the added special features are quite good. And although Paramount's "coming attractions," starting with the Season Four set, play before the episodes do they CAN be skipped by pressing your remote's Chapter Skip Forward button. Although $200+ is certainly a bit steep for a tv series, considering the total number of discs & episodes along with the generally high quality of the transfers, I'd say the set is a MUST BUY for any Frasier fan. If you enjoy Frasier, just buy the set - you'll not regret it! 8/24/2010 - HAD to offer this "update." I'd forgotten exactly HOW good this series was. I've got quite the collection of sitcom sets (including Seinfeld and Everybody Loves Ramond, among others) but this one is the TOPS hands-down. It's so good that once you start watching the first episode on a disc you're immediately inclined to watch the rest of them - kind of like reading a book that's so good you just can't put it down until you're either too tired or you know the AM alarm's about to ring... consequently I 'm already through Season Six. Sure the other shows are all top-notch, but this one has the depth, intelligence, heart AND soul that the others seem to come up a bit short on. The stars' superb comical acting skills are all pretty much consistently demonstrated throughout. The "guest callers" that are in most all of the episodes and even many of the guest stars collectively constitute a marvelous collage of memorable personalities of the stage, screen and television from decades past (and present). And the incredible Shakespearean and slapstick comedy elements here and there elevate it all to sheer genius. It's no wonder that the show lasted 11 seasons. 5 stars all the way!

For any show to manage eleven seasons is a milestone. For Kelsey Gramer to have come off of the 11 season "Cheers" (though hge joined the cast in it's second season, leaving the original; "Sunday In The Park With Goerge" to do so, he played rasier Crame for 20 years. But the true stars here are David Angell, Peter casey and David Lee who developed the show while their suiccesful show "Wings" was still on the air which they developed while their succesful show "cheers' was still on the air. Frasier broke the miold and was one of the last of NBC's "must see TV" stars. (that ended with Will and Grace" and NBC has slipped to the bottom since. "frasier' won Emmhy after Emmy- always beating "riends" largely because of the writing and because they aimed at an intelligent audience. We weren;t told that an episode was modeled after eydeau, but they prooved it was just as popyular. The comedy came from the characters, not situations and the cast was just about the best in television. Grub Street did a great job of bringing in actors for long arcs (Wendie Malick who ended upo marrying Martin) will always be regarded as a lead on Frasier as will Marsha Norman, Feliicity huffman (whose arc and in particular the famous "pictionary" sequence is unorgetable.) Jean Smart will always be a regular and Dan Butler has never been in ANYTHING hwere his finger prints weren't left all over it. Every single meber of the cast was fantastic.. Bebe Neuwirth was a mainstay to the show even on those years where she showed up in only one episodee. The greatest gift is David Hyde Pierce, an acgor of such brilliance that he pulled off a 12 minute scen by himself with no dialouge as he prepared for a Valentine's date that let him face down on Frasierr's birned couch. We watched Jane Leeves grow up as Daphne grew up and we watched the boisterous Peri Gilpin be permitted to show her sentimental side. The story lines were brilliant and though the last three seasons become a little too much regarding Frasier's search for a life-time companion, they at least justified it with a bit of a break down where Frasier goes of to be by himself and invesitgates his mind where Lilith, Diane Chambers, Nanette Gusman and Mother are there in the room with him playing his subconcious. the series ends leaving only one loose end- rasiers, but we see him making a bold hgesture and there is hope, which is what Frasier was always about. Watching Frasier Crame grow from the destroyed mess who swept the bar at Cheers to a comfident man able to sooth and comfort and be very comfortable with who he is was like the best element of this series. You should be forewarned that the first four season do not contain a "play all" option and MANY is the disc I've not boought for this reason. As a result, I often don;t bother with the first three seasons- a pity as the pilot is a work of art.

Top Serie immer was zu lachen

The second best US TV show ever made. Only MASH surpasses it. Fantastic scripts, brilliant actors, and consistently well directed. The main cast has a range of characters so that almost anyone will identify with to some extent, which helps pull you in to the show. The laughs just keep on coming, whether silly sniggers, uproarious guffaws or total bellyaches. Each season or half season tends to have a story arc, with the whole show also having a fantastic level of progression for each of the characters. Personally, I’m a big fan of Frasiers brother Niles. David Hyde Pierce absolutely embodies the character with a set of quirky and nuanced personality traits and physical ticks. I also loved the original Eddie, played by a dog called Moose. Honestly, I’ve never seen an on screen animal character so fanatically characteristic. There are few weak points in the show, just the occasional episodes that some people may not enjoy as much, and this will vary from person to person, but they are few and far between. Given the length of the shows run, this is much better than most shows manage. As far as the technical aspects go, I can now safely give this a 5* rating as they have moved from the original box sets terrible cardboard sleeve implementation, to a conventional multi-disc plastic DVD case, same as the Cheers one. The original cardboard sleeve set left marks on the discs that meant sometimes there was a problem playing the disc. This new version means no issues, every disc played flawlessly. If you have never watched Frasier, or his original home in Cheers, then honestly, I do recommend you try it. I wouldnt recommend trying it on the Amazon Prime Video, the file quality is terrible, but you could try the first episode to see if you like the comedy. Then buy the box set, as once you’ve seen it, you’ll likely want to watch it again and again over the years.

Un placer para los seguidores de la serie disponer de las 11 temporadas de la mítica serie. A partir de la temporada 5, ¡sin subtítulos en español! No obstante, el disfrute está garantizado hasta el último minuto.

Cofanetto molto curato, purtroppo non è presente la versione italiana ma ci sono i sottotitoli in inglese, non facile da seguire ma molto molto bello. Recitazione originale impareggiabile.
