Description:
FRASIER – THE COMPLETE FINAL SEASON is set in Seattle and chronicles the lives of an eloquently pompous radio show host, Dr. Frasier Crane, Grammer), his competitive, high-brow brother Niles (Hyde Pierce), their crotchety father Martin (Mahoney) and Niles’ wife Daphne (Leeves), who used to be Martin’s home care nurse. The final season marks a few milestones, including a wedding, a birth and a long-awaited chance at true love.
Amazon.com:
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:  - Frasier Final Delivers
Having watched all of the seasons of "Frasier" in sequence, you can only agree with one of the writers (in one of two excellent but brief specials on the final disc of this final season) that this show is one of the few to not only last this long - but to be delivering the laughs consistently RIGHT TO THE END.
Rather than dilute in quality, some of the episodes on these discs are among the funniest of the series - with a special nod to the fear of clowns episode. Characters whose reputations ... Read More

I own all of the Frasier DVDs. They are so much fun to watch and NO COMMERCIALS!
Rating:  - Frasier Final Sesson
An excellent but necessary end to this long running Show. A worthy finale and an enjoyable finish.
Rating: - Frasier - So Sad to See You Go
This completes my collection of the Frasier series. It finishes with class intelligent writing, as the entire series was for 11 years. All good things must come to an end, but I'm glad that I have the entire series on hand to view again and again. Thank you Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde-Pierce for the best actor chemistry in years!
