@@benjo_5 how can you possibly compare frasier to the simpsons?! Intelligent humor and incredible acting,or, a bunch of yellow cartoon characters ?🤔 nope.
It depends how you are measuring "best"....I agree that the quality and humor was far more superior in Frasier, however, the Simpsons is more successful and more people have heard of Simpsons than of Frasier I absolutely adore Frasier and have watched the series multiple times, and can honestly count with one hand the number of episodes I've watched of the Simpsons on one hand
@@benjo_5 I agree, that The Simpsons could be considered as being “better” than Frasier, but I wouldn’t really class it as being a spin-off, like Frasier is; Frasier took an established character, from another popular show, and built a whole new world around him: filled with different characters, and even a different style of humour, to what we saw previously in “Cheers”. Whereas The Simpsons merely started life as “shorts”, and then changed to a longer format; but it kept the same basic premise: a show about the many hijinks of a yellow family, and the people they know in Springfield, and didn’t change much else, apart from the character designs. I suppose, technically, it can be classed as a “spin-off”, since it debuted as part of the Tracy Ullman show; in which case, I’d probably agree, that it is the greatest spin-off in history. It just really depends on how you define a spin-off; but, either way, Frasier is not only up there, with the greatest spin-offs in history, I think it’s also one of the very best sitcoms of all time. All the best. 👍😀
I don't know. The episode, "The Baby Sitter" in Season 11 destroyed any growth that was previously developed. Compare that to the episode, "Police Story.
4:28 That is one of my favourite moments of acting in any sitcom Doesn’t matter if they were laughing about an inside joke Or whether they were cracking up because of the audience That was just genuine and it felt so much like a father and son feel good moment. Just beautiful
You're right... I think they didn't expect the audience to laugh at that line. For example, I was doing all kind of sad relations between "a couple of years" and Martin being old, therefore it could be in fact a couple of years until, you know... and then I heard laughing lol and it took me out of my melancholic thought process. They looked kind of surprised, too.
Me being the sad individual that I am, I actually timed their third conversation and it's exactly three minutes. The timing of these two stellar actors is genius; the way they can work all these emotional nuances in right until the beep of the timer. I know it probably took a lot of rehearsal but I also think that with actors of the calibre of Kelsey Grammer and John Mahoney it came naturally. I've also noticed that, in the early seasons of Frasier, John Mahoney's long stage experience comes through, he projects his voice like he's talking to a whole theatre, not just a set and live audience. :)
its a dark cloudy rainy day here today so I'm on a UA-cam run, and I actually thought about timing it (but only after the timer went off) and then I saw your comment and I'll take your word for it that it was three minutes. Thanks for doing that so I don't have too lol. But yeah, I have to admit that I didn't watch the firet few seasons of Frasier, just like I never watched Cheers when it was on Thursday nights: something I regret doing but never appreciated it when it was around. It was sometime after 9/11 when I watched Frasier (I believe it was on Tuesday nights, but I could be wrong) and then I got into Cheers, and I was really pissed off with myself for never giving 'Cheers' and even 'Frasier' a chance - but thankfully for DVDs (which I'm too lazy to put on, hence why I'm on UA-cam), I can now watch what I missed out on. Sorry for babbling, but I think the weather has made me nostalgic today - it is the perfect kind of day for lazying around, and watching good comedy gold
Uhm... late reply but... it's actually 2 minutes long, not 3. This video is 4 minutes and 57 seconds long. Their third conversation starts at 1 minute and 27 seconds and ends at 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Meaning their conversation lasted for 2 minutes and 3 seconds. Not 3 minutes.
@@virtualwarp, Thanks for letting me know. I must have started my timer at a different bit. Ah well, nice idea, though. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you.
It's interesting that early Marty was quite a bit more more 'gruff' sounding in his voice, I suppose they were going for the cranky, bitter mans-man vibe who slowly unwinds.
Absolutely fucking amazing the progression in their relationship. I sometimes think that's what Frasier (the show) was all about, at least at first. The forging of a relationship between father and son when neither wants anything to do with another. Good shit.
they were very close you have to be strong and have your own ideas2 generations with different experiences that how we all learn from each other thank you
Jake is right, he did become more snobby as the show went on. Still, he could ocassionally drink beer even in later seasons. Like when he went on a date with that stripper he hired for Donny's bachelor party.
It's probably part of the film crew aparatus when they were recording, I don't think it's in his flat all the time, just when they're filming the show.
If my dad asked me to have a Beer with him....I would have searched Heaven and Earth for a case. He passed before we could have one. The simplest things you don't think about until its impossible.
Of COURSE the old man wanted to stay in that luxury condo - look at the flea bag he was living in before. Then he got Fraser to pay for his therapist. LIFE OF RILEY.
2 years but whatever..... "The old man" put his 2 pretentious sons through college, the one thing he deserved was a bedroom to sleep in and care in his old age. That's how normal societies function, not the US though.
I can relate , my dad is a stubborn mothafucker to, I argue with'em , we disagree alot, see things differently, he gos left, I go right, he chooses red, I choose blue, it's so infuriating at times.
Best spinoff in the history of television!!!
Except possibly The Simpsons

When you see this and compare with later seasons, they really did grow closer. It didn't feel forced either. Great show.
I don't know. The episode, "The Baby Sitter" in Season 11 destroyed any growth that was previously developed. Compare that to the episode, "Police Story.
It's my favorite father-son relationship after Kevin Arnold and Jack in "Wonder Years".
Slowly also like it would be.
@@cosmodeus1720 Have to agree on this one. I think the show just started getting stale by that point.

Likewise, my friend. I'm actually watching a Christmas episode of Frasier as I'm writing this message. God I love this show 😂
It's interesting that early Marty was quite a bit more more 'gruff' sounding in his voice, I suppose they were going for the cranky, bitter mans-man vibe who slowly unwinds.
The addition of a sweet, cheerful peppy optimistic pretty (although not overly bright) young lady probably didn't hurt towards that and either
And you didn't jump...huh...classic Marty...
Frasier: No Sports. Martin: Alright No Opera. Frasier: Agreed!.
There's no backing off here
Absolutely fucking amazing the progression in their relationship. I sometimes think that's what Frasier (the show) was all about, at least at first. The forging of a relationship between father and son when neither wants anything to do with another. Good shit.
You can pick and choose your friends but your family... enjoy every minute...no one knows when it the last time
Wish I had Frasier as my psychiatrist. He seems like a kind and warm-hearted man to talk to.
Annie C he'll pull out his pants and fall on you
i hope you got the reference
agree
These helped me through college days and self help books
How to manage your mother is a good book btw
Me too!
iHeisenburger it’s a trick that he learnt from his Dad! 😁
Niles totally made this show!!
All of them were absolutely fantastic!
Martin's reaction to his son saying he considered suicide isnt exactly very fatherly :p
He’s one of those “put a sticky note on the fridge” kind of dads.
I agree
"It hurt!"
haul arse cos the store closes in 10 minutes! 😂😂 haul arse 😂😂 love it!!😂😂
Ikr? Classic Martin!!!!
4.30 - nice genuine smile by John Mahoney
Martin's gene is recessive lol. I feel for him.
Didn't care for cheers too much but I love Frazier if that's the spinoff your referring to
What magical and humane scene❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
they were very close you have to be strong and have your own ideas2 generations with different experiences that how we all learn from each other thank you
“A coupla years, huh?”
They were really talking to the network there, eh?
"Either that or it will seem like an eternity ". 😁
So well timed 💖

Best show ever, all we have now is puke, classy huh lol
back when Frasier didn't scoff at beer
Jake is right, he did become more snobby as the show went on. Still, he could ocassionally drink beer even in later seasons. Like when he went on a date with that stripper he hired for Donny's bachelor party.
Old comment, but I don't believe he ever scoffs at beer. Considering the character's origins, that wouldn't... really make sense.
But he missed the fact that he *was* going through some old pictures...
0:31 Frasier has a microphone hanging from his ceiling. That's odd.
Brad Zook Good eyes 🤣
It's probably part of the film crew aparatus when they were recording, I don't think it's in his flat all the time, just when they're filming the show.
Its a microphone that inadvertently got into the frame.
It’s Alexa version 0.1
@@deanspeedwell4748 It's not a real condo, it's a stage set.

Of course it does. I'm sorry you have never experienced that...

What’s up with the video it’s glitchin so bad
Lol!

A normal conversation doesn't sound tinny. And normal video doesn't make me feel like I have an ocular migraine.
I never cared for John Mahoney in this role.....he always seems uncomfortable.
@alan wilson 🤣
He's supposed to be...
That's..the.. point
That’s his role, he is uncomfortable living with Frasier. Are you some kind of idiot or something?
