5.0 out of 5 stars
I'm listening....and watching, 25 Jul 2007
Season 7 of Frasier is finally available on DVD in the UK and it is probably the most exciting season yet. This is the series when Daphne finally finds out about Niles' secret love for her, however she is in the process of arranging her marriage to her lawyer fiance, Donny when she hears the news and Niles has also met a new love, Mel, who seems to have all of Maris's worst characteristics, so things couldn't be more difficult and awkward for the two of them.
With this main storyline aside there are some absolutley hilarious episodes such as Bulldog's love for Roz being revealed after he begins scaring off all of her dates; Fraiser dates a women who is identical to his mother; Martin buys a camper van; and Frasier also gets a new producer on his show whilst Roz is on holiday who he eventually can't stand and begins to steal his show.
Once again Kelsey Grammar and the gang provide hours of side-splitting entertainment with some of the funniest scripts and fast-paced comedy, proving that this is one of the best and most hilarious US sitcoms ever. I can't wait to get season 8 now to find out what happens next!

The last outstanding season of Frasier, 6 Jul 2007
Season seven of Frasier marked several turning points in the show's direction. Onscreen, we witness the culmination of the long-running Niles/Daphne attraction, in a storyline which builds over the course of several episodes, concluding with the season finale. Offscreen, two of the driving forces behind the show, Christopher Lloyd and Joe Keenan, made an unexpected departure (although they returned for the 11th and final season). Due to the big changes wrought by these factors, this season of Frasier stands as the show's peak. That is not to say that the remaining four seasons were poor; but they certainly never matched the quality of the early years, or season seven either, for that matter. Without the hilarity of Niles' schoolboy crush on Daphne, or the regular mentions of his bizarre ex-wife Maris, the show lacks some of its best, most reliably funny humour. After season seven, Niles and Daphne seem to become different characters, less humorous than before. Relish, therefore, this engaging season of Frasier, as it truly does mark the end of an era!
The episodes contained on this four-disc DVD set are:
1.) Momma Mia
2.) Father of the Bride
3.) Radio Wars
4.) Everyone's a Critic
5.) The Dog That Rocks the Cradle
6.) Rivals
7.) A Tsar is Born
8.) The Late Dr. Crane
9.) The Apparent Trap
10.) Back Talk (Part 1)
11.) The Fight Before Christmas (Part 2)
12.) Rdwrer
13.) They're Playing Our Song
14.) Big Crane on Campus
15.) Out With Dad
16.) Something About Dr. Mary
17.) Whine Club
18.) Hot Pursuit
19.) Morning Becomes Entertainment
20.) To Thine Old Self Be True
21.) Three Faces of Frasier
22.) Dark Side of the Moon
23.) Something Borrowed, Someone Blue (Part 1)
24.)Something Borrowed, Someone Blue (Part 2)
There are many standout episodes in this season, including 'A Tsar is Born' (in which Frasier and Niles believe they may belong to the Russian aristocracy); 'Back Talk' (one of the most important episodes in the series' history, thanks to a groggy Frasier's revelation during a massage from Daphne); 'Out With Dad', in which the Crane boys go to extreme lengths to save Martin from an unwanted admirer; 'Morning Becomes Entertainment', in which Frasier's stand-in role on a morning TV show beckons stardom for hsi agent, the brilliantly manipulative Bebe Glazer; and the epic 'Something Borrowed, Someone Blue' two-parter, which ends with a sublime cliffhanger. Overall, this is an unmissable season of Frasier!

Clever and Intelligent Comedy, 7 Jan 2009
Series 7 is, of course, the one where Niles and Daphne finally get together and plot developments in this story are cleverly sprinkled across the episodes with a very moving final episode. The majority of the episodes here are extremely funny with some superb episodes - Martin pretending to be gay, the Russian princess etc. Nevertheless I am not convinced this series reaches the heights of some of the early ones. For example, apart from the final episode, there is very little on-screen chemistry between Niles and Daphne. A couple of episodes of the quality of "Moondance" would really have helped build the romantic tension. Secondly, Niles' girlfriend for the series - Mel - is a deeply unsympathetic character and the episodes she features in tend to be annoying rather than funny. Thirdly we meet Daphne's dreadful family in the last couple of episodes. Their characters, in my view, do not enhance any episode they are in, and positively spoil the next series. Finally a small minority of the episodes seem to rehash storylines from past series - another Winnebago episode ! - meaning we've seen the jokes before and they are less funny this time.
Having said all that, there are many excellent episodes in Series 7 and it is well worth the money. The last episode of the series is one of the most moving of all.
