Title: SEASON 4

Domestic
Genre: TELEVISION
Frasier's fourth season was mostly about relationships. Niles (David Hyde Pierce), now separated from Maris, is back on the market like his bachelor brother, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer). That's great when the pair goes to a cabin with a pair of fetching women (Megan Mullaly, later of Will and Grace, and Lisa Darr), but Niles is never able to completely dispel his attachment to his suffocating wife... or to Daphne (Jane Leeves). His obsession with the latter gets an immediate burst in the season's first episode, in which he has to masquerade as Daphne's husband, then later comes to a head when she appears at his apartment door asking to stay the night. The boys have the usual disputes with their father (John Mahoney), including their disdain for the former cop's new girlfriend, Sherry (Marsha Mason), the boisterous, banjo-twangin', "gotcha"-playing bartender who would remain a regular cast member through the end of the series. Ex-wife Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) makes her annual appearance, this time when she and Frasier try to get Frederick into an exclusive prep school. And the title character? As much as Frasier teases his producer Roz (Peri Gilpin) about her dating habits, he himself is lonely, leading him to a memorable airport encounter with guest star Linda Hamilton and a season finale that proves a kind of a harbinger to the series' final episode. This season made Frasier a perfect four-for-four at the Emmys, winning its fourth consecutive award for Outstanding Comedy Series. Unlike previous seasons, this DVD set has no bonus features. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews: - Sophisticated, witty, and... hilarious!
Along with Friends and Seinfeld, Kelsey Grammer's Cheers spin-off, Frasier, dominated the prime time television landscape during the 1990's. Grammer plays the role of Dr. Frasier Crane who, fresh off of his divorce from Lilith, moves back to his hometown of Seattle where he lands a gig as a radio psychiatrist. Frasier's father, Marty Crane (John Mahoney), a Seattle cop recently shot in an attempted convenience store robbery is in need of physical therapy. Frasier and his brother Niles (David Hyde Pierce) make an effort to mend their relationship with Marty whose plaid shirts and penchant for sports and beer strikes a dramatic contrast with their wine club, opera house culture. After a little prodding, Marty and his dog Eddie (Moose) move into Frasier's upscale apartment, and Frasier hires Daphne Moon (Jane Leeves), a housekeeper and physical therapist to look after the two cranes.
The entirety of the show takes place in mostly three places - Frasier's radio station where he works with show producer Roz Doyle (Peri Gilpin), Frasier's apartment, and the favorite hangout of Niles and Frasier, Caf¨¦ Nervosa. A witty comedic exploration of the nation's clash of cultures (also illustrated by Frasier's run-ins with sports guy Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe), Frasier stands alone as one of the best-written shows in television history. Not a single episode can be considered a dud.
The Frasier (Season 4) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including one episode (#77) where Niles' head of hair becomes the good luck charm which turns the Sonics basketball season into one of playoff contention. Niles becomes an instant celebrity and wins over Marty's approval... Bebe Neuwirth returns in her role as Frasier's ex-wife, Dr. Lilith Sternin, in a special Thanksgiving episode where Frasier and Lilith join together to aid in Frederick's admission to a prestigious school... In the season finale, a desparately single Frasier rushes to the airport to pick up a woman, Laura (Linda Hamilton), who mistakenly left a message on his answering machine...

The DVD Report...more info - Frasier has something for everyone
Frasier is a well written show with characters that the audience can identify with. Their relationships are filled with hilarious situations. I've continued to purchase the Frasier seasons and hope to complete the series shortly....more info - Very solid season
If you are a fan of the show, you probably already know that this was a year of solid writing and therefore this is a highly recommended set - one word of warning: if you are looking for a DVD with a lot of extras features, this specific set will not offer you any - no frills here - just the episodes. ...more info - 4th times a charm
Season 4 is funny right in the beginning with niles and his muffin, that is not the episode name but if you buy this you will know, it goes from dad meeting sherry, lilith and frasier getting freddy in school, while freddy is getting beat up, by someone you wouldnt think, down to daphne hating sherry and much more....more info - Every season of "Frasier" is GREAT
Frasier is still one of my favorite shows. I watch the shows on dvd just as I did when they were on once a week. I really enjoy the shows and now I almost have the whole collection. The writer's of this show were brilliant and the actors, even more so!...more info - Annoying commercials in disc 1
Disc 1 forces you to sit through 10 minutes of obnoxious commercials. The show is great but the ads drive me crazy....more info - Another great season of Frasier
I truly find every episode a delight to watch and some are hysterically funny. And it is just so much better to view without commercial interruption. I have every season available and they are treasures I will be able to view again and again, over time.
Well worth the investment, new or used if you a fan of Frasier.
And it is fun to watch in sequence, season by season, to see the development of the characters and the progression of their ups and downs as they are meant to be seen.
Most anxious to get Seasons 9 and 10 to complete my series.
Terry, a most avid fan of Frasier...more info - Frasier is frasier
The collection has played well. If you like Frasier, her he is....more info - one of the best comedy shows
Frasier is one of the best comedy shows I have seen. The dialogue is always funny, witty, and self-deprecating. Season 4 offers more insights into the mystery character Maris, and things heat up between Niles and Daphne, though it is one-sided. Laughs are fast and furious. Frasier sometimes takes a back seat to his brother Niles. Highly recommended....more info - Great Season
This is the 3rd Frasier series I have purchased, and I believe it is my favorite. The "Ham Radio" episode is hilarious....more info - ANOTHER solid season - not a single subpar episode!
It's almost not fair. Every episode in this season is a keeper. Not a single disappointment in the bunch!
I can't think of ANY other series that ever had such a solid streak of home runs. Season 4 of "Frasier" is consistently funny and often inspired. I dare say that it is the strongest one of the 5 seasons released to this point (as of April 2005).
The sexual tension Niles experiences over Daphne increases, and results in one of the funniest episodes of the season.
Glad to see the the company is releasing these season box sets at an acceptably rapid clip. ...more info - One of the best seasons
Frasier went on too long but the first few seasons were stellar. Season 4 has several classics, including Niles near encounter with Daphne, Niles breaking marriage, and his near tryst with Megan M. from Will and Grace. Marsha Mason is a good actress but I didn't find her that funny. The only weak point of the season. All three Crane men are struggling to find the right female companionship by the season's end. ...more info
