Thomas Sutcliffe Independent (UK) The script occasionally veers from top quality vinegar to synthetic syrup, but the basic elements are funny, drawing a sharp comedy out of one of America's real concerns -- the care of elderly parents. Feb 16, 2022 Full Review Victor Lewis-Smith London Evening Standard The morose, troubled Dr Frasier Crane was always the outsider at Cheers and, now that he’s been given room to expand, his under-stated irony and angst-ridden persona have finally come into their own. Feb 16, 2022 Full Review Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) Even with the humanistic themes aside, Frasier is not scared to just be funny for the sake of a good laugh, and the comedy digressions provide the highlights. Feb 16, 2022 Full Review Michael Gaither Santa Cruz Sentinel After a weak start it's getting better... The only problem with Frasier is that it's an ensemble comedy in need of a bigger ensemble. Feb 16, 2022 Full Review Jennifer L. Stevenson Tampa Bay Times NBC scores a hit. There's real love, depth and humor in Dr. Frasier Crane, his fine friends, one father, and a pal named Eddie. Rated: A+ Feb 16, 2022 Full Review Joyce Millman San Francisco Examiner Frasier is NBC's best new series and the new season's only laugh-out-loud pilot. Feb 16, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
