Is Frasier the best US comedy ever?

[EachandEveryone]

Ive just started to catch 30 Rock, i never saw it the first time. It does tickle me. I still think that Frasier was just perfect though. I wonder what they are doing now?

Yes!

i forgot about soap, very funny

Frasier got boring quickly & his brother stole every show. Will &Grace or Cheers every time (reruns every morning at 6.30am).

Forgot: Superstore with America Ferrara is a joy. Dina the security guard is the breakout star. Her sexy cop outfit at Halloween was a thing to behold.

I think 3rd Rock from the Sun gives it a good run for its money.

I love Frasier. It’s the only sitcom that has me laughing out loud.

Does anyone remember about 20 years again C4 did a Frasier weekend. I think the played the top 20 episodes or something? It was the forerunner of binge watching.

It’s got to be Modern Family or Curb Your Enthusiasm for me 👍🏻

I love Curb too but hated the last season

Yep!

Ham Radio and the Valentines episode when Niles faints are the best. In fact Niles is just amazing - much better then Frasier

Love all the references to Maris.

Strong cast of peripheral characters.

If you love other shows, start threads about them. Don't hijack a Frasier thread.

Yes. Martin is hot.

If you love other shows, start threads about them. Don't hijack a Frasier thread.

Ummm OP asked if it was the best US comedy?! Surely that invites others to give their opinion which may be shock other shows. It’s not up to you to anyway, not your thread. Jeez

I love Curb too but hated the last season

I agree it was my least fave.

I wouldn't describe Martin as hot exactly but he's the one who always talks sense while the rest of them are ninnying about. And I love the interaction between him and Daphne eg when they freak people out in the lift by referring to mysterious situations.

30 Rock takes a while to hit its stride - the first series is quite pedestrian but after that it becomes absolutely brilliant.

Yes! I absolutely love Roz.
"What do you do when the romance goes out of a relationship?"
"I get dressed and go home."

Frasier will always be my fav. But agree the ridiculous accents of the Moon family was too cringy.

I lurved 3rd Rock! Which channel is it on at the minute?

My remaining US fans would be:

• Friends
• Golden Girls
• I Love Lucy

Great thread! I need to get watching Parks and Rec and Brooklyn 99
:-)

I love how the obvious character type for his brother would have been someone the complete opposite of Frasier, but instead they went with Niles, who is even more pompous and neurotic! Genius!

Yes absolutely.

No way because The Big Bang Theory is.

Followed by Friends

Ooh yeah Roseanne was goid in the early days and Ellen. Me and my mum used to love watching The Golden Girls together. I loved The Fresh Prince too.

It's good, especially the fIrst three series, but for me in US comedy nothing beats MASH.
