What happens

Frasier () is an American television sitcom that was broadcast on NBC for eleven seasons from September 16, 1993, to May 13, 2004. The program was created and produced by David Angell, Peter Casey, and David Lee (as Grub Street Productions), in association with Grammnet Productions (1995–2004) and Paramount Television. The show was created as the third spin-off and a sequel to the sitcom Cheers. It continues the story of Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer), a psychiatrist who returns to his hometown, Seattle, as a radio show host. He reconnects with his father, Martin (John Mahoney), a retired police officer, and his younger brother, Niles (David Hyde Pierce), a fellow psychiatrist. The rest of the main cast consists of Peri Gilpin as Frasier's producer Roz Doyle, and Jane Leeves as Daphne Moon, Martin's live-in caregiver. Dan Butler's role as Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe, a sports talk show host on Frasier's station, was later upgraded from a recurring role to main character in some seasons. The part of Frasier's ex-wife, Lilith Sternin, was played by Bebe Neuwirth, reprising her role from Cheers. Like its predecessor, Cheers, Frasier received critical acclaim, and is highly regarded in both the US and the UK. The series and the cast won 37 Primetime Emmy Awards, a record at the time for a scripted series. It also won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series for five consecutive years. A revival series, also titled Frasier, premiered on the Paramount+ service on October 12, 2023. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
