Caryn James New York Times On ''Frasier,'' the grace notes are as witty as the punchlines. Where else but on this smart sitcom would you find a joke on the word oxymoron? Apr 21, 2020 Full Review David Bianculli New York Daily News Not one of the best Frasier episodes ever, but a respectable one. It gets off to a too-slow start... The show gathers speed and builds to a trademark Frasier frenzied conclusion and a rich comedic payoff. Aug 18, 2018 Full Review Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune Exactly the blend of urbane wit and hilarious, over-the-top outbursts to entice Emmy judges year after year. Aug 18, 2018 Full Review Mike Lipton People Magazine A witty, worthy successor to Seinfeld. Aug 18, 2018 Full Review Filip Vukcevic IGN Movies While even amongst hardcore Frasier fans it is obvious that the show took a down-ward turn in its latter years, in its fifth season the show was still bringing in the laughs. Rated: 8/10 Aug 18, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
