Frasier - Season 2 [DVD]

A fantastic box set. I had only seen about 3 of these Frasiers before I bought the set, and I was extremely pleased to find how many new and brilliant episodes there were.
The box set contains the following episodes:

24 - Dark Victory
Martin's birthday finds everyone in a bad mood. Daphne and Martin are arguing, Niles loses a patient because of Frasier, etc. A citywide power outage does nothing to soothe jangled nerves. Frasier uses his professional training to help bring everyone together.

The second series of Frasier is by far the best. It's pure comedy, focusing more on Frasier's desparation for love and Nile's desire for Daphne. Daphne in later seasons leaves her original role of quirky and slightly wierd and takes on a new serious persona, which still at times is comical, it's nothing in comparison to the original character we all grew to love. Series 2 contains one of (if not the best!) episodes of all 11 series, 'The Matchmaker'. The acting and the relationship between Niles, Frasier and Martin in this episode is at it's peak. It guarantees a laugh from you regardless of the number of times you've seen it! Although, that is a fact which run thoroughout the entire series. This truley is a timeless comedy.

Fantastic series every character just gets more and more appealing. Niles and Frasier are hilarious together and the writers and producers have done brilliantly to find so many characters that gel so good together. Best comedy series on tv.
