There's a big problem with most sitcoms in that they age like a bad curry. Years later they're just not that funny anymore and they feel somehow forced and unfunny. And it could have been a sitcom that you loved watching week after week. But when you try to revisit it, it's not the same and you might watch an episode or two but in the end you just leave it as a relic of it's time.
Frasier is not one of those shows. It's aged like a fine wine and just as funny today as it was when it first came out. The writing still feels sharp, the acting is still on point and while it's been off the air for almost 15 years you could almost feel like it's happening right now.
Sure there were bits that were a little forced like when they hid Jane Leeve's pregnancy. And part of the magic that was Niles always mooning after Daphne took a hit when they finally started dating and got married but David Hyde Pierce still managed to pull off a terrific character as Niles the compulsive and overly fastidious brother to Frasier.
But like all good things they knew to pack it in eventually and they still left on a high note. Very few other sitcoms can claim this.
