Frasier

I first started watching Frasier in the 1990s having previously never seen Cheers. Frasier is one of the smartest funniest TV series ever which won

a record 37 Emmy awards during its run, and a poll taken by C4 voted Frasier the best sitcom of all time. Amazingly it ran for 11 years. Last year I saw David Hyde Pierce who plays Niles Crane live on Broadway, who was as superb live as he was on th show.

Both the writing and the acting on this sitcom are excellent and to date I have never seen an episode that is anything other than excellent. Its a great example of use of language, humour and timing. The shows are on constant rotation on the Paramount Channel and I often watch them during the breaks when working at home.
