Amazon.co.uk Review
Frasier's fourth season was mostly about relationships. Niles (David Hyde Pierce), now separated from Maris, is back on the market like his bachelor brother, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer). That's great when the pair goes to a cabin with a pair of fetching women (Megan Mullaly, later of Will and Grace, and Lisa Darr), but Niles is never able to completely dispel his attachment to his suffocating wife... or to Daphne (Jane Leeves). His obsession with the latter gets an immediate burst in the season's first episode, in which he has to masquerade as Daphne's husband, then later comes to a head when she appears at his apartment door asking to stay the night. The boys have the usual disputes with their father (John Mahoney), including their disdain for the former cop's new girlfriend, Sherry (Marsha Mason), the boisterous, banjo-twangin', "gotcha"-playing bartender who would remain a regular cast member through the end of the series. Ex-wife Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) makes her annual appearance, this time when she and Frasier try to get Frederick into an exclusive prep school. And the title character? As much as Frasier teases his producer Roz (Peri Gilpin) about her dating habits, he himself is lonely, leading him to a memorable airport encounter with guest star Linda Hamilton and a season finale that proves a kind of a harbinger to the series' final episode. This season made Frasier a perfect four-for-four at the Emmys, winning its fourth consecutive award for Outstanding Comedy Series. Unlike previous seasons, this DVD set has no bonus features. --David Horiuchi

Synopsis
With its witty dialogue, sophisticated character development, and classic slapstick situations, FRASIER is a prime example of television comedy at its finest. Centred around pompous psychiatrist Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) and his call-in radio show in Seattle, the series' brilliant ensemble cast includes his prim and proper brother Niles (David Hyde Pierce), their gruff retired-cop father Martin (John Mahoney), live-in home care assistant Daphne (Jane Leeves), brassy radio producer Roz (Teri Gilpin), and a charismatic Jack Russell terrier named Eddie. This collection includes all 23 episodes of the show's award-winning fourth series, which features guest appearances by Bebe Neuwirth, Marsha Mason, John Cusack, Megan Mullally, and James Earl Jones.

5.0 out of 5 stars It just gets better and better..., 11 Nov 2005
By Ezec (Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
Multiple Emmy winning Frasier remains the best comedy season I've ever seen. Season Four is arguably its peak, before the darker tones of seasons 5 and 6 came into play and before it declined in the later years due to Niles and Daphne finally getting together. However even the weaker seasons are great television and much preferable to watching, say, Eastenders or other mindless triple that we get churned out in the UK (sorry EE fans).

In this outstanding fourth season, you can see the characters evolve before your eyes... Niles' love for Daphne grows deeper, Daphne becomes more endearing (if that's at all possible), Roz turns her wise-cracking and bed-hopping ways up a gear, and Martin finds love with Sherry, the loud, colourful and banjo-playing antidote to Niles' and Frasier's elitist ways. And Frasier? Well, he's a little lonely, yet funnier than ever.

All the main and supporting cast are fantastic, Kelsey Grammer's portrayal of Frasier always seems fresh and funny and David Hyde Pierce's Niles is simply remarkable. His physical humour is second to none. Jane Leeves is the perfect addition to the Crane household, she's loveable and still has her little quirks here which unfortunately fade away during the later years. Peri Gilpin as Roz and John Mahoney as Martin are as loveable and funny as ever, Gilpin in particular shines.

In my opinion there is only one dud episode, Head Game, which had to be hastily re-written to work around Grammer's personal circumstances at the time and his presence is sorely missed. Episodes that deserve true classic status are Ham Radio, Three Dates and a Break Up, The Two Mrs Cranes, Mixed Doubles and To Kill a Talking Bird. The underrated Bebe Neuworth also makes her annual appearance in A Lillith Thanksgiving.

If you're unsure as to what commitment to make with regards purchasing TV season box sets, make it this one. The first three seasons are also well worth anyone's money. Buy it, you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterclass in comedy., 11 Jul 2005
Series four demonstrates this masterpiece of sitcom at the height of its powers. The first nod must go to the brilliant writing team; shows such as 'Dad Loves Sherry, The Boys Just Whine' is full of great clash-of-character moments as well as acerbic one-liners. The ensemble cast is superb and, with three Emmy-winning series already under their belts, they confidently exploit the opportunities for moments of tenderness and melancholy (though these never descend into saccharine-dripping "Gosh, I love you pop" scenes like other shows). Episodes like the first one of the series hint at the elements of farce which pervade the later series, though here it is tightly scripted and performed. If you want a masterclass in comedy, this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly a remarkable sitcom, 5 Mar 2006
By A Customer
This sitcom just seems to get better and better. Excellent plots and storylines and the best thing about Frasier is not just the great comedy sketches but its more hidden agender of problems that sometime in our lives we come across and ideally how we can try to cope with them. Friends has situations like this in some episodes but Frasier covers a much more diverse range and gives an excellent approach to sitcom story writing.

Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce (not forgetting the rest of the cast!) interact really well together with hilarious (but well thought out) gags, situations, and slipups.

Very eagerly awaiting future seasons on region 2 encoding.
