An excellent season. As good as the first if not better. The quality of the comedic acting and writing is second to none. I recommend it for everyone.

I was pleased overall with this item, the outside case looked brand new, and the discs all play perfectly. The only problem is that one of the disc holders inside the case is broken so the disc slides around in the case. However, this was not a bad enough damage to return the item, and I would buy from this dealer again.

It took a long time for the package to arrive, but after tracking through USPS, I realized it was because the post office misrouted the package, and this was not the fault of the seller, who mailed the package in a timely manner.

I didn't watch Frasier when it was new but have really enjoyed the reruns. I hope to collect the entire series

I ordered this for my best friend's birthday. She was so excited to recieve this gift. She loves him and watches him everyday. It was with great joy that I was able to give her Season 1 and 2.

As good as ever, i did have the serries on video but as the video player is no longer working it was time to get the dvd. i chose to get from the usa because it is cheaper than buying from the uk , and as i have a region 1 dvd player it is ok. i find buying from the states easier and sometime has even been faster delivary than the uk.

Product came on time and in good condition. only flaw is the 3rd. DVD freezes in spots.

Hours of good clean laugh-out-loud fun! Kelsey Grammer at his best along with a perfect group of supporting actors. Each is outstanding. Sit back, relax and prepare to laugh!

I am as devoted a Frasier fan as most out there, but having seen Season One in Dolby 5.1 with subtitles and other delectable features, I am appalled that the publishers turned so greedy with rolling out a quick and dirty version of subsequent seasons that we have to pay premium prices for such sub-par lemons:

(1) The sound is 2.0 and doesn't sound much better than old mono. Whatever happened to Dolby or DTS? Surely Frasier is recent enough for the producers to have all the necessary bells and whistles (tracks).

(2) The quality of the video is tragically ordinary. It pixelates often, even on a top of the line LCD set. It's more like a VCD slapped with a DVD label.

(3) Subtitles are especially useful for a program that's punch-drunk on esoteric references to high society stuff such as Opera and French wines, but it's remiss in Season Two and beyond.

The only other item on these discs is a boring "Celebrity Voices" bit that's only for the particularly nosy as you hear them in the episodes anyway. As much as I find the show top of the heap--and Season Two is probably even sharper than Season One--this is a pathetic excuse for a DVD at its price tag. "Basic" DVDs of the caliber that you see for old black and white movies on the bottom shelf should be priced much lower.

A great series. We enjoy it no matter how many times we have seen it.

Fraiser really hit stride in it's 2nd season. If it weren't for "Seinfeld", Fraiser would have probably been the #1 rated show.

One of the best lines was from the episode where Friaser unwittingly offends the city of Seattle after giving misinterpreted advice to a depressed caller to his call-in show.

After talking with his father about how rainy Seattle is, Fraiser retorts "It rains here so much, the state flower is mildew!".

If that doesn't give you an idea of how sharp the writting is, I don't know what will.

The casting (both primary & secondary characters) couldn't be more perfect. Friaser's pretentious, snooty, obsessive-compulsive brother Niles was played to perfection by David Hyde Pierce. The father, played by John Mahoney, always knew how to cut Fraiser & Niles down to size with his put-downs. Roz (Peri Gillipen), Fraiser's producer, was always man-hungry and the butt of Fraiser & Niles jokes about her promiscuity. Martin's live-in physical therapist Daphne (Jane Leeves) was the object of Niles' hysterical obssesion.

The secondary characters...Bulldog (the anti-Fraiser), food critic Gil Chesterson, and Fraiser's devious agent Bebe were all scene stealers.

It would be almost impossible to find any "duds" in season 2, with many episodes becoming "instant Fraiser classics".

There may never have been a sharper, wittier comedy before or since Fraiser...and Season 2 was one of the funniest in television history.

This set included many scenes that we have not seen before. Very funny. We have enjoyed it thoroughly.

My wife has been instrumental in making me a "Frasier" fan. I particularly like the 2nd Season because of the sequences therein. Great viewing for all ages.

The second season of Frasier is exceptional. The writing is clever, and the laughter just keeps on coming. The show just gets better with age! This is probably my favorite off all the seasons. Every episode is filled with endless entertainment!!

Buy it, and love it!

I am so happy to live in a day and age where I can purchase entire seasons of my favorite shows. Although it is always fun to watch the reruns of Frasier, the ability to sit down and watch the entire series in order is great. Season two of Frazier further solidified its standing as one of the finest sitcoms ever, and certainly the best written. This season boasts several hi-lights including the return of Lilith, and a dispute between Frazier and the City of Seattle over the rain. The Niles and Daphne relationship continues to blossom. Niles, to me, is still the star of the show. Though the way he ahd Frasier interact is seamless. This is another 5 star season of great T.V.

The best episode from the season features Niles and his feaux baby - the bag of flour... hilarious!

The recording you sent me was not usable in United Kingdom, so I returned it and you refunded the purchase price.

Frasier is without a doubt the funniest, most well written comedy series that ever graced the small screen. I know there are quite a few Seinfield fans out there but this show, in my opinion, has something for everyone. The DVD series brings the life of Dr. Crane home so that we can now relive our favorite episodes and laugh all over again. The appeal of the show has everything to do with the spoken word. It's one thing for a writer to pen a show but it's an entirely different thing to get the right actor to speak those lines and create some magic. Many people have said that this is the best spinoff because of the casting and I couldn't agree more. There are no lapses or boring moments in the dialogue and that is something one can no longer find on TV.

This is a great series, and the second season is terrific. This is the season when the Crane boys start a restaurant in one of the episodes. That particular show is a side splitter. Often, we recycle our DVD purchases through Amazon marketplace, but this one is a keeper.

Fraiser's hair is long and the banter between Roz and Niles is great. I have the 7th season too and it neat to see how their comedy has evolved.

The show really hit its stride in this season. In the special features we learn of the "revolving writers" phenomenon of this show, but it's none the worse for wear.

Much more instrumental in this season's success is the increasing rapport between the ensemble cast. They know one another's moves better, and clearly are enjoying working together. As we learn in the special features of the DVD, the only unempathetic player is Eddie, the dog: he only cares for his trainer, and no one else.

It's a great season - some say the best, although I'm more partial to Season Three for a number of reasons.

The complete second season may be the best season of the show. All shows are witty and develop the characters more deeply. "Flour Baby" may be the funniest episode of all time.

I am so glad that this TV series is on DVD! I have watched every season over and over again, and it never really gets old. The snide, sarcastic remarks, the witty criticisms , and the insanely hilarious acting all make up an excellent TV show.

Started watching Frasier after seeing "Daphne's Room" episode 2 years ago, after laughing uncontrollably, I was hooked on the series. I had heard great reviews as well as how refreshing, witty, and hilarious the show is, in addition to being a multi-Emmy winner.

I think Season 2 is the best of the series. I did not enjoy the final season as much as the earlier seasons.

For me, their is never enough episodes to a season pack. I love Frasier & the 6th season is by far in my opinion, the second funniest season ever, the first being the second season. I can't wait for all the rest of the seasons to complete my library. I will enjoy watching this season over & over again.

The first season was funny but occasionally weighed down by some false notes between Frasier and his father and the unnecessary character of "Chopper Dave - the weatherman." Season two has this show proceeding with the hilarious and sophisticated humor that made this show a classic. Highly recommended.

In my honest opinion, this is the finest season of "Frasier" ever, in fact, one of the best seasons in tv sitcom history.

From the first episode "Slow Tango in Seattle" (where Frasier's dallience with his piano teacher is the subject of a popular book) to the last "Dark Victory" (where Marty's birthday suffers from a city-wide blackout) there isn't a clunker in the bunch.

Disc #1 features the trifecta of "The Unkindest Cut of All" where Eddie's park activities have produced a litter of puppies. "The Matchmaker" (an instant classic) where Frasier's new boss thinks that Frasier is making a date with him instead of Daphne. The scene where Marty laughs may be one of the funniest in series history. "Flour Child" has Niles carrying around a 10pd flour bag to simulate what it would be like to care for a baby. It also has a riotus scene where Niles relates his dream of kidnappers stealing his "baby" and sending muffins in the mail.

Disc #2 is another winner, the highlight for me was "Roz in the Doghouse" with Bulldog at his absolute finest. JoBeth Williams turns in a nice performance in "Adventures in Paradise". And "Burying a Grudge" has Marty coming to terms with his long-time police partner who's in the hospital.

Disc #3 brings back Sam (a still on-target Ted Dansen) and his soon-to-be wife played by Tia Leone. And the sumptuous Shannon Tweed gets into the act in "You Scratch My Book...". Even a seeminly minor episode like "Daphne's Room" contains huge laughs when Frasier somehow keeps winding up in her room without permission. Look carefully at the picture Frasier picks up, it's a real gutbuster of a revalation.

Disc #4 has the killer combination of "An Affair to Forget" (which won an Emmy for writing) with an unforgetable fencing match between Niles and Maris' fencing instructor. The oddly titled "Agents in America, Part III" brings Bebe (Frasier's agent) back into the fold. Her "suicide" attempt is absolutely hysterical. And finally "The Innkeepers" (another instant classic) where the Brothers Crane foolishly buy a restaurant and disaster awaits.

Extras:
There is a commentary track for "The Matchmaker" with writer Joe Keenan & director David Lee. It is informative and rather fun, especially when they point out some of the missed dialogue and scenes that were ment to be included.

Also included are the typical run of edited scenes from different episodes under a theme, like "Roz's Dating Tips", "The Mystery of Maris", & "The Niles and Daphne Dating Attraction" are perfunctory and not necessary. But exceptions include "And Then There Was Eddie" which features a nice intro of "Eddie" on the beach & "Marching On Season 2" where Peter Casey & David Lee extoll the virtues of that particular season (Peter Casey declares that in his 23 years of tv experience, no season ever matched Frasier's Season 2, which is a bold statement for sure). The interviews were shot at the same time as the ones presented on the Season One DVD.

Overall, this collection is a must for Frasier fans. If you fell in love with the show in the later years, you owe it to yourself to get this DVD set.


Tidbits:

"Adventures in Paradise" is the first two-part episode of the Frasier series.

Although her appearence lasts about 2 seconds, "Adventures in Paradise (Part II)" is the first time we see Diane Chambers (Shelly Long) on "Frasier".

There is a blooper of sorts that happens in "Adventures in Paradise (Part I)". Both Frasier & Roz look at the picture of Madeline (in Seattle Style magazine) on the "left" page. When Bulldog looks at the picture, he looks at the "right" page.

Bulldog also seems to have gained some weight during Season 2. Compare his state of fitness between "Roz in the Doghouse" and the stinger of "The Innkeepers".

Look for Diedrich Bader (Oswald on the "Drew Carey Show") as Roz's date in "The Innkeepers".

In "Roz in the Doghouse", the song "Mr. Pitiful" is played over a montage of Frasier's new producers. I believe this is the first time in series history that a publish song was used in such a fashion.

Along with Friends and Seinfeld, Kelsey Grammer's Cheers spin-off, Frasier, dominated the prime time television landscape during the 1990's. Grammer plays the role of Dr. Frasier Crane who, fresh off of his divorce from Lilith, moves back to his hometown of Seattle where he lands a gig as a radio psychiatrist. Frasier's father, Marty Crane (John Mahoney), a Seattle cop recently shot in an attempted convenience store robbery is in need of physical therapy. Frasier and his brother Niles (David Hyde Pierce) make an effort to mend their relationship with Marty whose plaid shirts and penchant for sports and beer strikes a dramatic contrast with their wine club, opera house culture. After a little prodding, Marty and his dog Eddie (Moose) move into Frasier's upscale apartment, and Frasier hires Daphne Moon (Jane Leeves), a housekeeper and physical therapist to look after the two cranes.

The entirety of the show takes place in mostly three places - Frasier's radio station where he works with show producer Roz Doyle (Peri Gilpin), Frasier's apartment, and the favorite hangout of Niles and Frasier, Café Nervosa. A witty comedic exploration of the nation's clash of cultures (also illustrated by Frasier's run-ins with sports guy Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe), Frasier stands alone as one of the best-written shows in television history. Not a single episode can be considered a dud.

The Frasier (Season 2) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including episode #40 where Sam Malone (Ted Danson) visits Frasier in Seattle. Sam fills Frasier in on what the various members of the Cheers gang are now up to. In the next to last episode of the season, Frasier and Niles (against Martin's advice) purchase a restaurant they enjoyed during their youth and rename it "Les Freres Heureux" or "The Happy Brothers". The two inevitably run the operation into the ground (on opening night, nonetheless)...

The DVD Report

The writing and acting in this exceptional series never misses a beat in the second season offerings. Without exception, every episode in Season Two is Emmy worthy and watchable over and over again! Frasier Season Two is a slam-dunk belly-buster.

If you like dry,witty humor FRASIER is for you! The episodes "The Matchmaker" and "The Innkeepers" are worth the price by themselves. This is a no brainer.Buy Season 2, it will not dissapoint.Right up there with Seinfeld, but smarter and upscale!

"Frasier: The Complete Second Season" is the companion DVD box set to Season One. It stars Kelsey Grammer as the imminent psychiatrist and radio personality, Dr. Frasier Crane, David Hyde Pierce as his even more neurotic and insecure younger brother, Niles, John Mahoney as their curmudgeon father, Martin, Jane Leeves as scatterbrain physical therapist Daphne Moon and Peri Gilpin as Frasier's calculating hard knock radio programmer, Roz.

If you thought season one was a riot, just wait till you get a load of season two: an inspired potpourri of hilarity beginning with a tell-all book about Frasier's secret affair with his piano teacher while he was still a teenager. Also highlighted in this bunch of episodes is Eddie gets fixed, Martin's favorite bar, Duke's, gets demolished by an investment that Frasier and Niles make, Niles attempts to bond with a bag of flour in order to discover whether or not he's ready to be a father, and, a governor's candidate that Frasier endorses turns out to be a nut job who believes that aliens abducted him in the past. Inspired and gifted performances, shoot-from-the-hip writing and hilarious cameos make season two one of the great television highlights of any series ever put on the small screen.

Paramount's new DVD, "Frasier: The Complete Second Season" aptly delivers all 24 episodes of this trend setting comedy in a deluxe four disc box set. Unfortunately, Paramount's DVD quality seems to be lagging behind Season One. Though colors are accurately presented with a subtle muted palette and good contrast levels, and blacks are deep and solid, there is an excessive amount of edge enhancement and shimmering of fine details throughout many of the episodes (more than half) that is distracting to say the least. Fine details become hard edged and highly unstable. Many of the vertical and horizontal lines in Frasier's apartment are in a constant state of mobility, flickering in and out of each frame and thoroughly distracting from the performances. As with Season One, certain episodes continue to have a slightly hazy look to them. Several episodes suffer from color imbalance in which tonal quality and brightness seem to shift - not only from scene to scene but shot to shot. Overall, these imperfections are inexcusable. The audio is stereo and very nicely balanced. Extras include a brief but succinct featurette on the inspiration for season two, a benign "Roz's Dating Tips" sort of game that one has to access by toggling on the remote, short snippets that illustrate all the guest star cameo voice overs used as call-in guests and audio commentaries on selected episodes. If you're a fan of this television series you may want to snag this box set. But the image quality is far below par for a series of this vintage!

What a delight to finally enjoy frasier series in an uninterrrupted way, very bright idea to put whole seasons together... it's like peanuts (the real ones) once you start watching you never stop. Despite the fact I'm a real frasier fan I must admit that the most disappointing point on the DVD's is that there is no english hearing impaired version, and strictly no other foreign language available. Obviously no further frasier versions will be released in Europe. Bad luck for all fans without a high level of english like me...

I absolutely love Frasier and am very happy with the DVDs. Unfortunately there is a problem with one of the episodes from SEason 2. At the beginning of 'Daphne's Room' on Disc 3, Frasier begins to sing Great Balls of Fire. This 5 second sequence has been deliberately cut out, as the credits that roll over this sequence run over the part of the episode that follows. So it is deliberate. I live in Australia and the distributors here say it is not a fault from there end but back in the US. But how can I get this fixed, does this problem exist on the US print, and why would this happen? I love the show, and despite this problem it is a great disc. So many great episodes, but I do wnat to get it fixed but do not know what to do. I thought it was importnat though for people to know and maybe suggest something. Thanks.

If you're a Cheers fan,and enjoyed the first season of its spinoff Frasier,this item is for you. Here are more adventures of the hilarious and occasionally wise-cracking psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane.

Apparantly this show was on for 11 years and won 31 emmy's or oscar's or i forget what, so it'd be hard to say that it was overlooked, but I never paid attention to it until the end of the series and I missed out. The special features are stupid as all hell (dating tips especially) but the episodes are the reason people buy the stuff. Notable ones are The unkindest cut (disc 1), the club (disc 3), fool me once shame on you fool me twice (disc 3) and the matchmaker (disc 1).
There's an episode where Frasier continues to insist that men in general are trustworthy and then he gets betrayed. And there's one where he takes a call from a guy who's afraid to use the phone (that's at the beginning of the club). And there's an episode about confused sexuality. It's funny. Most spin-off's of tv shows don't work, but this spin-off of Cheers definitely did.

Frasier is one of my all-time favorite TV shows. That being said, I was thrilled when I found out it was coming to DVD. There are some terrific episodes on this set, such as "The Innkeepers, " where Frasier and Niles' attempt to run a restaurant with haute cuisine goes spectacularly awry. There are many others that people have already mentioned, so I don't need to go further, just watch the set!

To my great sadness, the show will be ending after this season, but major kudos to Paramount for releasing Frasier on DVD so we can retain the laughs and the memories forever!

I am a 15 year old kid and I love to watch frasier on TV so I desided to buy it from my amazon and I love it

THANK YOU AMAZON
