Midway through Frasier's redemptive final season (which earned Emmys for Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce), Martin Crane (John Mahoney) reassures his son, 'Just when you think that you're in a rut and nothing exciting will ever happen again, pow, that's when it does.' The same could have been said of Frasier's redemptive final season. Not that the multi-Emmy-honored series had ever really jumped the couch, but by its 11th season, it had lost some of its sparkle. And then, POW! Veteran Frasier writers Christopher Lloyd and Joe Keenan return to the fold. POW! Wendie Malick joins the seamless ensemble as brash lounge singer Ronee Lawrence, who becomes a love interest for Martin. POW! Daphne (Jane Leeves), underutilized since her marriage to Niles, becomes pregnant. POW! Frasier opens his own private practice. POW! Laura Linney guest stars as Charlotte, who becomes the hapless Frasier's own Miss Right. The series also benefited greatly from a stellar roster of character actors, who rose to the occasion of this gold standard series' final year. Penny Johnson (24), Sarah Silverman (School of Rock), and Dan 'Homer Simpson' Castellaneta christen Frasier's couch in the episode, 'The Return of Maris.' Jennifer Tilly is at her ditzy, delectable best as a pick-up in 'Miss Right Now.' Laurie Metcalf replaces Emma Thompson as Frasier's first wife, children's entertainer Nanny G, in 'Caught in the Act.' Always welcome are Bebe Neuwirth as Lilith ('Guns 'N Neuroses') and Harriet Sansom Harris as Frasier's unscrupulous agent Bebe (the series finale, 'Goodnight, Seattle').
But Frasier was never about stunt casting. It's the writing, stupid, which, actually, was anything but. Episodes such as 'Boo,' 'The Doctor Is Out,' 'Coots and Ladders,' and 'Caught in the Act' recapture Frasier's unique blend of wit and farce. The series finale, in which relationships take a significant turn and Frasier finally breaks out of that rut to follow his heart, is as satisfying as fans could wish. --Donald Liebenson

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - ending an Era
It was sad to see this show end. I have been a fan since the beginning. The writing is fantastic and the humor is timeless, a true art. There are very few shows that have captured my interest as well as my heart for so long.
Rating: - Like 1-10, FINAL season of Frasier did not disappoint
Now, how 'bout letting Niles have a spin-off [similar to Bob Newhart's comedy back in the day]??? I can just see Niles with his wacky patient list and sessions :o)
Rating: - Fraiser - The complete final season
This is an absolute treasure to finally have. The acting is second to none and if you are the only person left in the world who hasn't watched Fraiser these will make you a fan for life. It's hillariously funny and if there was any room at all for improvement from their previous seasons, they most definitely hit the nail on the head with this one. Yet it's sad to know one is watching the last one ever.
Rating:  - Final season doesn't give us enough regular characters!
I am also a late-comer to Frasier and, after seeing the first few seasons in syndication, had to buy all the others. I love the witty comedy of the show, but the reason I had to buy all the seasons was the growth and storylines of all the wonderful characters. I enjoyed the final season the least of all because the family and friends on the show, whom we had grown so attached to, are hardly seen in this season. Frasier spends his time with lots of new characters, mostly women of course, and except for a few wonderful episodes (Maris Returns, Murder Most Maris and Freudian Sleep), we see almost nothing of Niles, Daphne, Roz and Martin. I just couldn't care less about the Ann or Charlotte characters, in particular. I also must say that I really didn't buy into the Ronee/Martin relationship. A sadly unsatisfying end to an eminently satisfying series.
Rating:  - Frasier the series 11
I was very disappointed with my purchase as it came from America, however it would not work on my DVD so I had to send it back.
