Frasier: The Complete Eighth Season Overviews

Emmy® Award-winner Kelsey Grammer is Frasier – the hilarious psychiatrist first seen on TV’s Cheers and subsequently the star of this smash-hit comedy series. In Season 8, wedding bells chime a sour note when Daphne (Jane Leeves) flees her marriage ceremony to run off with Niles (David Hyde Pierce), and the two lovebirds – as well as a hapless Frasier – ultimately find themselves embroiled in a lawsuit as a result of the marital mayhem! Frasier also seeks the wisdom and advice of an old college professor, whom Frasier drafts as his “professional mentor.” And new-puppy training quickly goes to the dogs when Roz (Peri Gilpin) brings home a new Dalmation and Martin (John Mahoney) takes command as the puppy’s official trainer. It’s 22 cupfuls of Seattle’s funniest most flavorful blend – FRASIER: THE COMPLETE EIGHTH SEASON!

Frasier: The Complete Eighth Season Specifications

Seemingly not content to win all those Emmys for Outstanding Comedy Series, IFrasier/I made a convincing bid in its eighth season for Best Drama. Make no mistake, IFrasier/I still serves up its unique blend of sophisticated wit and farce with the usual panache. But season 8 finds Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) in a contemplative mood and mid-life crisis mode. The episode “Frasier’s Edge” resonates throughout the season, as a lifetime achievement award and a suspect (only to Frasier) congratulatory note from a mentor sends him into a characteristic tailspin. “Thank you for honoring my life,” a subdued Frasier remarks at the awards ceremony. “I just wish I knew what to do with the rest of it.” It is just one of several powerful moments on which many of the season’s best episodes fade out. In the season finale, Frasier finds himself torn between a new, “perfect” woman in his life, Claire (Patricia Clarkson), and the tempestuous Lana (Jean Smart reprising her Emmy-winning role, and winning her second consecutive statuette). In an affectionate phone call with Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth), he asks, “Do you think I know how to be happy?” In the cleverly constructed “Sliding Frasiers,” which takes its cue from the film ISliding Doors/I, parallel Valentines Day storylines illustrate how “the tiniest decision can change your whole destiny.” In “Cranes Unplugged,” Frasier feels like he and his son Freddy are growing apart, but on a predictably disastrous camping trip, they manage to share “a golden moment.” John Mahoney, too, gives an Emmy-worthy performance in “A Day in May,” as Martin attends a parole board hearing for the man who shot him.p But it’s not all sturm and drang. “The Show Must Go Off” features an Emmy-winning performance by Derek Jacobi as a former Shakespearean actor Frasier rediscovers at a sci-fi convention and mounts a one-man show, only to discover that he is a talentless ham. In “Motor Skills,” Niles (David Hyde Pierce) and Frasier enroll in an automobile repair class and take on unaccustomed roles as the class bad boys. This season also resolves all the obstacles keeping Niles and Daphne (Jane Leeves) apart, including a lawsuit by jilted groom Donny (Saul Rubinek), the vindictive schemes of Niles’s jilted fiancée, Mel (Jane Adams), and Niles and Daphne’s own illusions about each other. For longtime viewers with an emotional investment in Frasier and company, this is a richly satisfying season worthy of this gold-standard series. I–Donald Liebenson/I

Frasier: The Complete Eighth Season CustomerReview

The season starts off with a bang; betrayal, frustration, carefully timed divorce proceedings, a new, young, hip radio station owner who needs a mentor and a pompous ass who takes on a butler, while Mel finally gets her unplanned moment of being dumped by Niles during Frasier’s snooty pre-opera party! The series gets a shake down and shapes up for more hilarity! The fun continues when Dr. Mary, the bubbly radio show host returns to KACL and joins Frasier for the Christmas parade banter, live on TV but the icing on the cake is Daphne getting ever so large while Niles nor she seem to notice, instead they both blame the dry cleaners for shrinking her clothes and in a moment of truth when Daphne trips no one Crane alone can lift her off the floor but three, not to mention spending Valentine’s Day with Daphne and Niles smooching sauce off each other; very funny and charming. Other highlights include `Frasier’s Edge’, where Frasier’s self-analysis tortures him and shakes him up….a lot; the only episode in Frasier history not to end on a high note but a sombre one, also `Cranes Unplugged’ where frustrated Frasier tries to desperately bond with his teenage son and a very frustrated Roz tries to hitch a drop-dead gorgeous surgeon who has a voice like a Greek God! The `pieces de resistence’ are when Frasier and Niles decide to coast through a mechanics course with hilarious results and when John Glenn joins the cast for space exploration and everyone goes overboard and the episode where Martin insists that Niles let Frasier back into the wine club; Martin’s line `are you going to let your brother play?’ repeated over and over till he gets results is comedy heaven! Also a very touching episode when Daphne returns from the fat farm. The season also hosts a well-written role for Jean Smart who returns in the role of Lana; in the vein of the season’s tendency to develop characters we witness a very interesting relationship between her and Frasier as well as one of the most understated and creative episodes in the series’ history is the touching `A Day in May’, which beautifully tells the stories of three relationships; a sweet one, a challenging but charming one with a touch of realism and a sad and devastating one.br /br /Meanwhile Bulldog and the rest of the supporting cast are unplugged for most of the season, except for Kenny who pulls a few punches on the show; the stories center mostly with the lead cast.br /br /This season is formidable, epic in its approach and extremely entertaining; definitely one of the best in the series and a strong contender for the ultimate Frasier experience; it surpasses the sitcom standard. This season goes through many changes and emotions with fantastic character development. I only have one frustration; the writers present the best woman Frasier has ever met on one of the final episodes but choose to let her slip through his hands once again, it is a quite a torture they have put us through with Frasier constantly missing great opportunities…Season Eight is a true to form classic!br /
