TV show - Frasier
Score : 8/10
Mutiple directors
Country : USA
Language : English
Duration : 265 episodes X 22 minutes spread over 11 seasons from 1993 to 2004

 Frasier is one of the wittiest sitcoms out there, with higher class jokes as the hero Frasier is a shrink and so is his brother. 
 
Frasier who got his own show after appearing on Cheers, is played in both shows by the same actor, kelsey Grammer,  which is a nice change from all those times when we get different actors that don't even look alike. 

 The rest of the cast is good and also includes actors calling to Frasier's ''hotline'' for advice, thus we hear them but we never get to see them, which as far as I know is unique to this show. 
Main cast include David Hyde Pierce as Niles Crane (the brother), John Mahoney as Martin Crane (the father, who moves in with Frasier...), Jane Leeves as Daphne Moon, Martin's physical therapist... (for the rest, have a look on wiki or imdb) 

Also, we never see Maris, Niles Crane's wife, an odd yet funny ghost character. 

At times however, the jokes revolve around food or being a man, and those i dislike...
