Frasier (/ˈfreɪʒər/) is an American television sitcom that was broadcast on NBC for 11 seasons. It premiered on September 16, 1993, and ended on May 13, 2004.
In June 2021, Grammer teased that fans can expect the Frasier reboot to premiere in spring 2022, but by November of the same year, he revealed that they are still working on its narrative.
Despite season 11 being better received than its previous few years, Frasier was ultimately canceled. As reported by People, the cast was open to continuing but the show's high production costs were the main reason why Frasier ended after season 11.
Kelsey Grammer reveals David Hyde Pierce won't return as Niles in Frasier reboot series. It's the moment of truth that Frasier fans have been eagerly waiting for. But it's probably not the desired news, after Kelsey Grammer aka Dr. Frasier Crane revealed his brother Niles won't be appearing in the new series.
Frasier finishes his story just as the plane lands, giving viewers a surprise: Frasier was landing in Chicago, where Charlotte had moved, and not to San Francisco. He says, "Wish me luck," to Anne, then looks out of the plane window as the screen fades to black.
It is here that Roz and Frasier reconcile, and agree to remain friends. In the show's final episode, Roz becomes station manager of KACL after the previous manager, Kenny Daly, decides to become a DJ again.
Unlike many other series where characters' pregnancies were written in to accommodate the actress becoming pregnant in real life, this was not the case with Roz. Hers was purely a storyline invention, Peri Gilpin was not pregnant in real life.
The cast of Frasier were notably close. Grammer calls Pierce the brother he never had. Along with the late John Mahoney, who played their dad, Martin, Pierce is godfather to Leeves's son.
But Grammer notes that Eddie was already recast during the show's run -- Moose played him from 1993 to 2000 before his son Enzo took over until the show ended in 2004.
He was replaced by his similar-looking son Enzo for the final four seasons of Frasier; Enzo was 7 years old at the time he took over.
John Lithgow turned down the part of Frasier Crane in 'Cheers' when he was going through a “snobbish” phase.
Spoilers (1) David Hyde Pierce (Niles) did actually make the half-court basket shown in this episode -- on the 27th take.
The majority of Kelsey Grammer's wealth comes from his time on the hit NBC show Frasier. For the final two seasons of the show, Grammer was reportedly paid $1.6 million per episode for each 24-episode season. At the time, that price tag set the record for the highest-paid TV actor of all time.
In season 8 the actress got pregnant and it was simply written into the show as a weight gain. Eventually, the character goes to a weight loss spa and returns having lost 9 pounds, 12 ounces — the actual weight of Leeves' baby in real life.
After Frasier, Hyde Pierce went on to successful theater career and most recently starred in the HBO Max series Julia.
In the latest string of reboots and revivals, a Frasier sequel has officially been given the greenlight, with Paramount+ giving a series order to the beloved 1990s sitcom with Kelsey Grammer set to reprise his role of Dr. Frasier Crane.
David Hyde Pierce studied classical piano before becoming an actor. When you see Niles playing on Frasier, you can see he's really playing!
Moose, the celebrity Jack Russell Terrier most famous for his role as Eddie on the television sitcom Frasier, earned around $10,000 per episode, for a net worth of approximately $3.2 million.
“Moose and Enzo hated each other,” says series co-creator Peter Casey. “They couldn't be on set together,” the showrunner remembers. “Apparently, it was one of those classic parent-child Hollywood rivalries.” And, while John Mahoney's character was super close to Moose's Eddie, the duo were not so close off-camera.
If two actors don't get along well off-camera, it can be difficult to convince audiences that they have a growing attraction on camera. Thankfully, Pierce and Leeves spent time together between takes and outside of work, making their on-camera relationship that much more meaningful and loving.
Maris Crane is Niles Crane's wife for much of the series, though she is never fully seen onscreen (much like Norm Peterson's wife, Vera, on Cheers). She is the most notable of the show's never-seen characters, and often the subject of many jokes. Her family is not revealed on the series.
The rest of Season 10 and early Season 11 show Daphne and Niles adjusting to their new life as a wedded couple. Daphne and Niles have their first child, David, in the final episode of the series, "Goodnight, Seattle". (He is named after the show's co-creator David Angell who died in the September 11 attacks.)
Maris makes only two onscreen "appearances": once in the episode "Voyage of the Damned" when her shadow is seen through a shower curtain (she is spoken to but makes no reply), and again in "Rooms with a View", where she appears in Niles' memory, almost completely covered by bandages after surgery.
There shouldn't be doubts that Frasier is filmed in front of a live audience.
Also like his brother, Niles is highly intelligent. His IQ is 156, well over the Mensa threshold, and much higher than Frasier's (129).
