Advantages: Very clever scrip and acting

Disadvantages: None

I am a big fan of comedy TV, and i think i would say for me that Frasier is the best of the bunch with the American shows. Its that little bit different because under the humour it does have an intellectual edge.

It follows the life of Frasier Crane - (origionally from Cheers), his brother Niles Crane, their father Martin Crane, and Martin's physotherapist and housekeeper Daphne Moon. Also a regular is Roz who works with Frasier.

All these characters are very well thought out and all have very individual personalities, and each one is cast perfectly with some amazing performences over ther years.

Throughout the 10 or 11 series the most common theme is the developing relationship between Niles and Daphne - for years and years we watch him stare at her in awe, and eventually, and slightly surprisingly, they get together in the end and live happily ever after.

Other key themes tend to be around the relationships of both Frasier and Martin - always trying to woo some lady or another.

The script of this show is brilliant and is the thing that for me lifts this above other comedy shows - if you havent watched it you really should!

Summary: Probably the best American comedy show
