label: Description (Brief)
content: Frasier was one of the most critically acclaimed sitcoms in television history, earning a record thirty-seven Primetime Emmy Awards in its 11 seasons on the air (1993-2004) including the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series for five consecutive years. The series was a spin-off of Cheers (1982-1993), following psychiatrist Frasier Crane's move from Boston to Seattle, where he hosted a radio call-in show, cared for his retired police officer father Martin (John Mahoney), and reconnected with his younger brother Niles. The erudite, sophisticated, and pompous Crane brothers frequently clash with their blue-collar father, his down-to-earth caretaker Daphne Moon (Jane Leeves), and friend Roz Doyle (Gilpin), producer of The Dr. Frasier Crane Show. The series was created and produced by Grub Street Productions (David Angell, Peter Casey, and David Lee) for Paramount Television, was distributed by CBS Television Distribution, and aired on NBC.
