Frasier • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Gail Pennington
Pierce as brother Niles fills the pomposity vacuum nicely. Leeves is a hoot as Daphne, and provides leavening to Mahoney's self-centered gruffness. This could all work out, I guess.
San Francisco Examiner
Joyce Millman
Frasier is NBC's best new series and the new season's only laugh-out-loud pilot.
Sacramento Bee
Bob Wisehart
Frasier may be formula stuff, but it is a triumph for Kelsey Grammer, who knows what to do with a good formula. If he really was a lot better than we thought for all those years on Cheers, now that he's in Frasier we have a chance to make up to him.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Robert Bianco
Frasier is high-class entertainment. Grammer does scowling exasperation as well as any actor in America, the fraternal relationship is wonderful, and the work-place material works perfectly.
New York Daily News
David Bianculli
This sitcom hits the ground running as an unqualified success. Grammer is as good as ever (which is very good indeed), and Mahoney, after a string of good stage and movie roles, finally has a TV role worthy of him, and makes the most of it.
Newsday
Diane Werts
The pilot is sharply bittersweet, Grammer's surprisingly warm, and you can't beat the casting.
Newsday
Marvin Kitman
It's not a big, busy ensemble sitcom like Cheers, more a one-man show for Grammer. But it's cozy, involving, socially relevant and marvelously amusing.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Noel Holston
It works mainly because Grammer is so good. Second-funniest character is Frasier's younger brother, Niles (David Hyde Pierce), a shrink who sounds and acts just like him.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Steven Cole Smith
Likely to be the best new comedy series of the year, Frasier has the charm of Cheers but with so many fresh new possibilities. Paired with Seinfeld, this is one hour of television I don't plan to miss.
Detroit Free Press
Susan Stewart
Aided by dependable costars and the wonderful writing of some of the old Cheers team, Frasier moves effortlessly from one laugh to the next without sacrificing an iota of character or believability.
Boston Globe
Ed Siegel
Kelsey Grammer hasn't changed, and that's good. The writers haven't changed and that's good, too. Boston has become Seattle and, well, we can't quite tell yet.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Phil Kloer
"Frasier" is a winner as sure as Frasier the character is a loser.
Orlando Sentinel
Greg Dawson
This is almost exactly the same premise as Fox's hideously unfunny Daddy Dearest. What a difference a script makes.
Washington Post
Tom Shales
Frasier at this point seems much more amusing when he's at home contending with his father than when he's at the workplace fielding phoned-in woes. But wherever he is, he's clearly in good hands.
Chicago Tribune
Rick Kogan
The radio call-in studio is fertile comedic territory. Less so, the home turf. Though [John] Mahoney is a great actor, his character is so sour and bitter as to be off-putting.
Los Angeles Times
Howard Rosenberg
Frasier does not manufacture laughs as consistently as one might expect from a Cheers offspring, it's still a cleverly written show with a quality cast that bodes well for the future.
Entertainment Weekly
Ken Tucker
Two opera-loving, egg-head heroes in one show-unprecedented in TV history, I believe. Every scene between Frasier and Niles is just about priceless.
Variety
Tony Scott
The premise is a wonder of economy. The scripters have packed humor and exposition into the pilot without crowding.
New York Times
John J. O'Connor
They are rather uncommon characters in a terribly common predicament. More to the point, Mr. Grammer and Mr. Pierce, perhaps the season's biggest scene stealer after Eddie the dog, can score serious points while being steadily hilarious.
The Hollywood Reporter
Miles Beller
The show looks like one of the brighter entities in the incoming freshman sitcom class, a series that constructs its characters and situations with care and skill from the start rather than relying on seeking to confirm expectations.
