A SpinOff of ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' airing on Creator/{{NBC}} from 1993–2004, in which psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane (Creator/KelseyGrammer) has moved back to his home town of UsefulNotes/{{Seattle}} to take a job as a radio shrink on KACL in order to put his life back together after divorcing his wife Lilith (Creator/BebeNeuwirth).

In addition to Frasier and Martin, the rest of the main cast includes Roz Doyle (Peri Gilpin), Frasier's sharp-tongued, upbeat producer, who is notorious for her [[GoodBadGirl healthy sex life]] and who soon becomes [[LikeBrotherAndSister his best friend]]; Frasier's brother Niles (Creator/DavidHydePierce), also a psychiatrist with a personality and line of interests very similar to those of his brother, with whom he shares a [[HeterosexualLifePartners close-knit]] but [[SiblingRivalry intensely competitive]] relationship, who was a frequent visitor to the apartment and a companion in most of Frasier's complicated escapades; and Martin's physical therapist and housekeeper, [[TheCutie cheerful]], eccentric [[TheHeart young Englishwoman]] Daphne Moon (Creator/JaneLeeves). Martin's deceptively intelligent Jack Russell terrier Eddie, Frasier's coworkers at KACL, and Niles's [[TheGhost unseen but outlandish]] wife Maris were the final touches to the core cast, which remained intact and unchanged throughout all eleven seasons of the show's run. Dan Butler, who played [[TestosteronePoisoning Testosterone Poisoned]] sports show host Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe, was listed in the opening credits for seasons 4 through 6, but was billed as a guest star for all other appearances.

In 2021, [[https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/frasier-revival-kelsey-grammer-paramount-plus-1234914269/amp/ it was announced]] that the show would see a [[Series/{{Frasier2023}} revival]] on the streaming service Creator/ParamountPlus. So far only Creator/KelseyGrammer, Creator/BebeNeuwirth (Lilith), and Peri Gilpin (albeit in guest appearances) have been confirmed to return; Creator/DavidHydePierce will ''not'' revive his role as Niles, at least as a regular character. Frederick Crane will return, but will be portrayed by Creator/JackCutmoreScott instead of Trevor Einhorn. The setting will return to Boston, presumably for the same reason it ''left'' Boston in the first place: to avoid the constant question of why the characters from the old show can't just stop by and visit. (Conversely, whether this now means that the cast of ''Cheers'' and, indeed, the Cheers bar itself will return has yet to be determined.) The new showrunner is Joe Cristalli, a veteran sitcom writer who did not write for the original series but is known for a (since-closed) Twitter account pitching hypothetical ''Frasier'' storylines in the present day (good practice, one supposes).
