'''''Frasier''''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|f|r|eɪ|ʒ|ər}}) is an American television [[sitcom]] that was broadcast on [[NBC]] for 11 seasons from September 16, 1993, to May 13, 2004. The program was created and produced by [[David Angell]], [[Peter Casey (screenwriter)|Peter Casey]], and [[David Lee (screenwriter)|David Lee]] (as [[Grub Street Productions]]), in association with [[Kelsey Grammer|Grammnet Productions]] (1995–2004) and [[Paramount Television (original)|Paramount Television]].

The series was created as a [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] of the sitcom ''[[Cheers]]''. It continues the story of [[psychiatrist]] [[Frasier Crane]] ([[Kelsey Grammer]]), who returns to his hometown, [[Seattle]], as a radio show host. He reconnects with his father, [[Martin Crane|Martin]] ([[John Mahoney]]), a retired police officer, and his younger brother, [[Niles Crane|Niles]] ([[David Hyde Pierce]]), a fellow psychiatrist. Included in the series cast were [[Peri Gilpin]] as Frasier's producer [[Roz Doyle]], and [[Jane Leeves]] as [[Daphne Moon]], Martin's live-in caregiver. [[Dan Butler]]'s role as [[List of Frasier characters#Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe|Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe]], a sports talk show host on Frasier's station, was later upgraded from a recurring to main character in some seasons. The role of Frasier's ex-wife, [[Lilith Sternin]], was played by [[Bebe Neuwirth]].

Like its predecessor, ''[[Cheers]]'', ''Frasier'' received critical acclaim, and is highly regarded in both the USA and the UK.<ref name="Barnes">{{Cite news|last1=Barnes|first1=Anthony|date=September 6, 2000|title=Just don't tell the Major, Fawlty is our favourite|url=https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Just+don%27t+tell+the+Major%2C+Fawlty+is+our+favourite.-a065007413|newspaper=[[Birmingham Post]]|issn=0963-7915|oclc=500151397|access-date=October 18, 2016|archive-date=December 25, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211225090641/https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Just+don%27t+tell+the+Major,+Fawlty+is+our+favourite.-a065007413|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tv-guide-names-top-50-shows/|title=TV Guide Names Top 50 Shows|date=April 26, 2002|work=CBS News|access-date=June 15, 2015|archive-date=September 4, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120904061715/http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/04/26/entertainment/main507388.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Wezzo |date=January 3, 2006 |title=Channel 4's Ultimate Sitcom |url=http://www.listology.com/content_show.cfm/content_id.22029 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305192418/http://www.listology.com/wezzo/list/channel-4s-ultimate-sitcom |archive-date=March 5, 2016 |access-date=February 25, 2008 |publisher=Listology}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wga.org/writers-room/101-best-lists/101-best-written-tv-series/list|title=101 Best Written TV Series|website=Writers Guild of America West|date=June 2, 2013}}</ref> The series and the cast won 37 [[Primetime Emmy Awards]], a record at the time for a scripted series,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vulture.com/2016/09/game-of-thrones-emmys-record.html|title=Game of Thrones Breaks Frasier's Emmy Record for Most Wins Ever for a Scripted Series|date=September 18, 2016 |access-date=February 6, 2018|archive-date=December 25, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211225084351/https://www.vulture.com/2016/09/game-of-thrones-emmys-record.html|url-status=live}}</ref> It also won the [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series]] for five consecutive years.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-sep-14-mn-22669-story.html|title='Frasier' Wins Record Fifth Straight Emmy|first=Brian|last=Lowry|date=September 14, 1998|via=Los Angeles Times|access-date=February 6, 2018|archive-date=October 23, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181023142144/http://articles.latimes.com/1998/sep/14/news/mn-22669|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Frasier (2023 TV series)|A revival series]], also titled ''Frasier'', premiered on the [[Paramount+]] service on October 12, 2023.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2021-02-24 |title='Frasier' Revival Greenlit at Paramount+ |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/frasier-revival-picked-up-paramount-plus |access-date=2021-02-24 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |language=en |archive-date=April 28, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210428100357/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/frasier-revival-picked-up-paramount-plus |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last1=Otterson |first1=Joe |date=2021-02-24 |title='Frasier' Revival With Kelsey Grammer Set at Paramount Plus |url=https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/frasier-revival-kelsey-grammer-paramount-plus-1234914269/ |access-date=2021-02-24 |website=Variety |language=en-US |archive-date=December 25, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211225091925/https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/frasier-revival-kelsey-grammer-paramount-plus-1234914269/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Alexander |first=Julia |date=2021-02-24 |title=Frasier revival in development for Paramount Plus |url=https://www.theverge.com/2021/2/24/22299973/frasier-reboot-paramount-plus-streaming-kelsey-grammer |access-date=2021-02-24 |website=The Verge |language=en |archive-date=December 25, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211225091939/https://www.theverge.com/2021/2/24/22299973/frasier-reboot-paramount-plus-streaming-kelsey-grammer |url-status=live }}</ref>
