Goodnight Seattle, Au-Revoir Frasier
When the blue-collar barroom comedy Cheers ended its run in 1993, it managed the neat trick of turning beer into champagne. Frasier became its own vintage blend of sparkling wit and dependably funny highbrow neuroses. 11 years, and a record 31 Emmys, later we say good-bye to Frasier, Niles, Daphne, Martin, and Roz. Larry is joined by Frasier co-creator Peter Casey, executive producers Christopher Lloyd and Joe Keenan.
