Yes.

I'm watching it right now and, IMO, it stands second to none in the category of highbrow, intelligent, subtle humoristic shows.

Funny, but derivative and...after a while...Niles just gets on your nerves. I mean how many whiney preening snobs can you cast in one show? Frazier, Niles, Lillith. Even the dog was a preening snob.

It was funny, but not the best ever.

It's not even top 10.

arrested development, despite being billed as a comedy, is a better sitcom than frasier

When the tension between Niles and Daphne ends, the show just dies. Up to that point, yes.

I believe the OP is German. I await Baywatch: is it the greatest crime drama ever?

Neurosis is only funny for so long.

I Love Lucy has held this title for 50 years and will continue to do so for another 50.

Just about any situation comedy is some derivative of I Love Lucy.

Fraiser is a terrific show if you have no sense of humor but want to pretend you're smart

That's me exactly. Maybe I should give it another look.

No. You're close, but no. And it wouldn't be 'greatest crime drama' but greatest bikini drama.

And if you pretend you're dumb, what is a terrific show?

Know the name, but not the show.

No. You're right. The fact that frasier uses big words makes the show high brow. I get it now
