Frasier

“Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs”

The character of Frasier is one of the longest running characters on TV, appearing first on Cheers, and then his own spin off, Frasier.

Frasier moves back to his home in Seattle with his father and brother. His brother, Niles, is like a carbon copy of Frasier, and you wouldn’t expect a pair of characters who are so much the same to work, but it does. It does tremendously well.

Kelsey Grammar and David Hyde Pierce are amazing together, becoming perhaps the most similar brothers on TV.

The storyline between Niles and his father’s physical therapist Daphne became one of the major ongoing storylines for the run of the series.

Frasier ran on NBC for 11 years.
