Frasier - Season 5 [DVD]: Amazon.co.uk: David Hyde Pierce, Jane Leeves, Kelsey Grammer, John Mahoney, Peri Gilpin: DVD

Reviews

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 24 episodes of the award-winning fifth series, which features guest appearances by Bebe Neuwirth, Marsha Mason, and Patty Lupone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great situations, peerless comedy in the best sitcom ever!, 1 Jan 2007

By	Frasier Fanatic (Wexford, Ireland) - See all my reviews

Season Five is here at last - and includes The Ski Lodge, an episode of such exquisitely crafted farce it ranks as one of the best Frasiers ever. But there are other delights, like the episode where Roz meets the big-nosed grandparents-to-be of her unborn child. When Niles announces he is leaving for a dog show and the wife declares 'my husband and I have giant Schnauzers', the entire cast is visibly helpless with laughter. And the Perspectives On Christmas episode, with the same Yuletide shown over again through the eyes of the different characters, is just joyously inventive. This is the best season available on Region 2 DVD yet, but please don't make us wait so long for Season 6!

5.0 out of 5 stars Underrated, 8 Jan 2007

By	Me123 (Glasgow) - See all my reviews

Fans have been waiting for Season 5 for 16 months now, and it has finally arrived!

This is a fantastic season, clearly underrated by many people. There is a lot of progression in the Niles/Maris storyline (i won't include a spoiler here), and this si one of the main aspects of the season. Naturally, such incidents lead to beautiful episodes like "First Date", where the Chemistry between Niles and Daphne (Hyde-Pearce and Leeves) is amazing. It can be seen here that something must happern to these two pivotal characters. ]

There is also a shock for Roz, leading to a huge storyline for her (the first storyline of the type Gilpin has been given in the series) and some spectacular perfromances from Frasier's producer.

The final crucial storyline appears in the last episode of the season, and will surely tip the balance of KACL for the remainder of the run.

Whilst this may not be as funny a season as the fourth, it seems to focus on pursuing the storyline and developing the characters more, which is needed in Frasier. Fans now long to see Season 6 and how the second season-season cliffhanger is resolved. Thankfully, paramount have scheduled a May release, but be wary: they have changed before.

In conclusion, this is a fantastic season full of laughs, but not yo be taken light heartedly. I can assure you that, after this, you will ling for Season 6! I know I have, to the point that I have already ordered it from America.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frasier Series 5, 21 Oct 2006

By	A. S. D. Stewart "Adsolution" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having been extremely impatient and ordered the Series 5-11 (not including Series 9 or 10, as they are not available yet) I have the fortune to have watched this DVD box set again and again. It is extremely funny and the episodes in Frasier continue to get better and better just like a wine (perhaps as Frasier would put it). Amongst this fantastic season are Voyage of the Damned (the Cranes take a trip on a cruise liner with some very good lines and situations), The Ski Lodge (probably one of the best in the entire show's history in which Frasier, Niles, Daphne and two others attempt to chase one another although their pursuits are interested in other people BRILLIANT)... and many more of course. All Frasier fans should get this and all comedy fans should get this aswell.

The 24 episodes in Series 5 of Frasier are:

1. Frasier's Imaginary Friend
2. The Gift Horse
3. Halloween
4. The Kid
5. The 1000th Show
6. Voyage of the Damned

7. My Fair Frasier
8. Desparately Seeking Closure
9. Perspectives on Christmas
10. Where Every Bloke Knows Your Name
11. Ain't Nobody's Business If "I Do"
12. The Zoo Story

13. The Maris Counsellor
14. The Ski Lodge
15. Room Service
16. Beware of the Greeks
17. The Perfect Guy
18. Bad Dog

19. Frasier Gotta Have It
20. First Date
21. Roz and the Schnoz
22. The Life of the Party
23. Party, Party
24. Sweet Dreams

Hope you enjoy!!!!! 5 Stars Defintely!!!!!
