Product Description The complete season - over nine hours of this Emmy-Award-Winning comedy! Actors: David Hyde Pierce, Jane Leeves, John Mahoney, Kelsey Grammer, Mercedes Ruehl, Special Features: The Crane Brothers remember Season 3; Conversation with Art Director Roy Christopher; Bulldog Crazy; Mystery of Maris - the Breakup Begins. Full Frame format. Language: English Year: 1995 Runtime: 543 minutes. desertcart.com With this third season, Frasier scored an impressive hat trick, winning its third successive Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series. You don't need too much analysis to get to the bottom of this unprecedented success. The series was a primetime oasis of wit and sophistication, with welcome forays into farce that pricked Frasier's bubble of pomposity. His priceless reactions to the assaults on his dignity are worthy of Jack Benny. Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) can be infuriating, as in "The Focus Group," in which he is obsessed with knowing why a lone focus group participant (guest star Tony Shalhoub) doesn't like him. But he is also endearing in his delusional view of himself as, in the words of one mocking bystander, a "man of the people." Frasier meets his match in new station owner Kate Costas (Oscar-winner Mercedes Ruehl). Their combative relationship turns to lust over the course of the first 10 episodes. But the season's most pivotal story arc is the separation of Niles (David Hyde Pierce) and Maris. "Moon Dance," which marked Grammer's directorial debut, is a series benchmark, as a crestfallen Niles tangos with his unrequited love, Daphne (Jane Leeves), at a high society ball. Not that the Crane family still doesn't have issues to work out. Frasier cannot abide being beaten at chess by Martin (John Mahoney) in "Chess Pains." Frasier and Niles ill-advisedly go into joint practice in "Shrink Rap," and find themselves on the opposite sides of a sanity hearing in "Crane vs. Crane." Lilith is sorely missed, but in this season's blast-from-the-past episode, Shelley Long returns in "The Show Where Diane Comes Back." It is a joy to see Cheers resurrected, if only in Diane's self-absorbed new play, which Frasier agrees to back. And any episode with Frasier's amoral agent Bebe (Harriet Sansom Harris) is must-see television. Frasier's humor was character-based, rather than topical, giving it a longer shelf life. For those who lament the end of one of television's gold standard series, this boxed set will be excellent therapy. --Donald Liebenson Review: More Laughs with Every Season - Having lived overseas for 18 years, I missed the entire run of "Frasier". Not generally a fan of spin-offs, I didn't pause long enough to watch an episode the few times I did stumble across one on TV. I had no idea what I was missing. Since buying season 1, I have been laughing my head off. The writing is good enough to make Shakespeare proud, but it takes excellent acting to bring comedy to life. From Kelsey himself all the way down to Eddie the dog, each performer is a master of his or her art. Each story's focus is fairly distributed among the characters. The arc covering Niles' separation from his unseen wife, Maris, opens the door for him to get closer to Daphne, who herself has a relationship with building contractor Joe. Fortunately, we don't see much of Joe, with no explanation for his missing presence save at the beginning of one episode. Even Frasier is allowed an interlude with a new boss seen for the first half of the season. Let there be no claims of age discrimination, either. Martin has his day with a much younger woman, originally the object of Frasier's affections. Since I am buying these DVD sets for my wife, and she only gets them on her birthday or at Christmas, it will be the end of the year before I get to watch season 4. I know it will be worth the wait.

Dare you not to laugh!
It's just laugh out loud fun. I love the season 2 The Candidate episode. Same for 2 Episode 17, Daphne's Room . I dare anyone not to laugh at those-too funny!!! Other good ones: Roz in the doghouse Episode 12 . Season 9-6 Room full of heroes. Season 10 Episode 6 on the Bar Mitzvah is fun All Season 11 is fun. Just when you would think it would get old , it just gets better. . Such good writing as well as timing! In one episode it's Martin's birthday and when he blows out the candle all lights go out in the town (blackout)-Frazier cracks they do not have to worry about his dad's lung capacity. Has to be one of the best spin-offs ever as all the Cheers cast return episodes are fun as well. I don't watch with the little kiddies but it's fun when I'm ready to go to sleep-- humor to send me off to sleep laughing and smiling :-) Thanks Frasier Team

A new beginning! Act 3, Scene 1 coming?
Frasier's season finale marks the start of a new era in the life of Dr. Crane. Remember, he didn't re-marry or settle on a new career...there's much more to come. It's possible Frasier's headed for Roz's small Wisconsin hometown to settle down, then retire in Hawai'i (Act 4). Can you imagine the comedic episodes, Frasier's upper-class style adapting to rural farm-town life?...maybe never, but years of great material. I bought season three. No regrets. Side-splitting humor redux. The episodes: She's The Boss Shrink Rap Martin Does It His Way Leapin' Lizards Kisses Sweeter Than Wine Sleeping With The Enemy The Adventures Of Bad Boy And Dirty Girl The Last Time I Saw Maris Frasier Grinch It's Hard To Say Goodbye If You Won't Leave The Friend Come Lie With Me Moon Dance The Show Where Diane Comes Back A Word To The Wiseguy Look Before You Leap High Crane Drifter Chess Pain Crane Versus Crane Police Story Where There's Smoke There's Fired Frasier Loves Roz The Focus Group You Can Go Home Again & Special Features.

Incredibley germaine , timeless, funny
Incredily well written, delivery of lines quick as a though done by Robin Williams, and many times the shows gently deliver examples of things we all do,, could do better, and even hints at ways we can better do things so we are more understanding - toleratnt... Have watched the program for over 2 years and the humor is still crisp, spot-on, and funny...

Season #3 is aces for me!
As a former reviewer put it "Frasier is still (and ALWAYS will) be in the building" for me. If you can't laugh at this comedy, there is not a funny bone in your body. I didn't get into the Frasier sitcom until season #5 Beware of Greeks. When he did that little dance ditty and his aunt started chasing him around that restaurant, I was hooked! The cast of characters play so well off one another. Each hold their own when one or the other is absent from a particular episode. Season #3 has most of the episodes I like from his entire series although all are enjoyable to watch. This sitcom actually had me going back to watch Cheer's episodes, which are incorporated into this sitcom's structure. It is enchanting and sophisticated: adult enough to where you are entertained and can pick up on the naughtiness, clean enough for family viewing with a younger audience. Highly recommended viewing and Season #5 is pretty tempting for me to purchase just for the Beware of Greeks episode. Enjoy!

Fun Fluff show
Watching Frasier grow and the chacters develope into a rythem is fun and its a good don't have to think about show. A wonderful throw back to the 90's before everyone had a cell phone and when coffee houses were a thing.

Always Brilliant!
Absolutely brilliant, with stunning performances by every member of the cast. Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce are absolutely amazing in this and every other season. You can watch each season many times and it is just as brilliant every time. Season Three is especially memorable for the Moon Dance episode, which is one of the finest episodes in the entire series. We have every season of Fraiser on DVD and every single disc has worked perfectly. Never a single issue with these DVDs. Frasier gets my vote for the Best TV show ever!

It`s been a few years since the last season of Frasier left our screens, but I still watch an episode most days, and certainly nothing funnier has been made since. Not much that is funnier was made before it either. I have minor gripes with some of the characters (Bulldog bores me and Daphne is occasionally irritating) but the consistently high calibre of the acting and writing (hell, even the subject matter of some episodes!) overrides these peeves. Some of my personal favourites are contained in this box set; "A Word To The Wise Guy" (featuring a great guest performance) and "High Crane Drifter" are particularly good. The former showcases the only occasion that Maris says "thank you" whilst Frasier`s experiences in the latter are not only chillingly similar to what I seem to go through everyday but contains many excellent moments; when Frasier learns that his new neighbour, heavy metaller Freddy Chainsaw, has sold 5 million copies of his latest album, he adds this to his "list of reasons to die" whilst Niles has to endure a hire car, something he calls a "hunchback"; Frasier`s determination to restore manners in Cafe Nervosa inspires callers to anarchy, such as fedexing one-hundred scorpions in the mail, dumping rotting shrimps in a neighbour`s air-con, and setting fire to lawns (guest voices including Eric Idle and Katrina Witt)). "Chess Pains" stars too, with it`s Freudian theme, exruciating sock-puppet show and bordering-on-psychopath obsession with winning. The quintet of shows with Mercedes Ruehl are definitely high points - it`s great to have someone other than the superlative David Hyde Pierce at Frasier`s intellectual level, and the animal attraction between Kate and Frasier leads to some very funny situations. I like "Shrink Rap" too, containing as it does one of my favourite lines - "I`m tired of your constant exaggerations! You always make everything sound 50,000 times worse than they are!" - and "Moon Dance" is quite beautiful and wonderfully acted. I suppose "Martin Does It His Way" is a weaker episode when judged against the above, and I don`t think anyone rates anything with Shelley Long in, do they? But hey, when you have lines like the one about gun play in the living room, it`s almost impossible to complain. High class throughout.

Any season of Frasier is excellent. My entire family loves them and my 15 yr old can recite most episodes verbatim by now. The bad part is not being able to decide who to love more: the arrogant but loveable snobby brothers...the craggy old fart ex-cop father...the chipper but naive housekeeper/personal trainer...or any one of the glorious personalities that make up the bulk f the characters. Perpetually witty and LOL funny and more charm and style than one could think possible. Clever clever clever...and did I mention funny and witty as hell?

Frasier - Unterhaltung auf höchstem Niveau. Und will man seine englischen, passiven Sprachkenntnisse erweitern, so ist diese DVD Ausgabe besonders geeignet: Englische Audio-Option mit englischsprachigen oder deutschen Untertiteln. Wenn man mal zu faul zum Englisch-hören ist, dann auf deutsch umschalten. Denn auch die deutsche Synchronisation ist vom Feinsten und bringt die Stimmung und den Wortwitz ausgezeichnet herüber. Eine der wenigen Sitcoms, die ich mir immer wieder ansehen kann und die an Witz und Esprit nichts verliert.

We purchased this DVD before the sitcom was reintroduced on TV as a retro show but still we do not regret buying it. We love funny stuff and this show provides laughter aplenty through its witty and fast dialogues. This is one time that psychiatry delivered effective treatment for any depression... The two brother psychiatrists staring in the series provide examples of their own psychological foibles and their own inability to resolve them while displaying total blindness to the problems...
