Frasier picked up its second series with another round of comedy as intelligent as its pompous title character. Fortunately, the sniping between Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) and his father, Marty (John Mahoney), that took up a lot of the first series is mostly past, and the crack ensemble was ready to roll in a number of memorable episodes. Frasier tries to set up Daphne (Jane Leeves) with the new station manager in "The Matchmaker", Frasier, Niles (David Hyde Pierce) and Marty go fishing in "Breaking the Ice", Frasier and Niles jump into politics in "The Candidate", the team of Frasier and Roz (Peri Gilpin) breaks up ("Roz in the Doghouse") and Frasier and Niles open a restaurant in "The Innkeepers". It was Pierce's Niles who emerged as a star in the second series, lusting after Daphne, learning about parenthood in "Flour Child" and challenging a Bavarian fencer for the hand of his ever-absent wife, Maris, in the comic tour de force "An Affair to Forget". Pierce picked up a well-deserved first Emmy and the show repeated its first-series Emmys for comedy series and lead actor. Frasier's dates included Jobeth Williams (whom he takes on a disastrous getaway to Bora Bora), Shannon Tweed and Tea Leoni. Other guest stars were Nathan Lane and, from his original show, Cheers, Bebe Neuwirth and Ted Danson. --David Horiuchi

Many people say this is the best season of Frasier.This is probably true -there are 20 good episodes with the 4 poor ones coming at the end of the season.I wouldn't say that the funniest episodes ever of Frasier were in this box set but I would point anyone who hasn't seen frasier at series 2 because I don't doubt they'll like most of what's on display here.
If you don't like psychiatrists and educated,picky snobs,you might like their dad or Eddie the dog.Frasier is set in Seattle but you mainly get to see the radio studio and inside of Frasier's house which is a shame given how nice Seattle is supposed to look.

Arguably the finest of all the 'Frasier' series, with the Crane brothers at their most pompous and puerile. All 24 episodes of the second series, and no dud.

Episoides include Frasier being fancied by a gay man, invading Daphne's privacy, and (as usual) blowing a hot date, with a writer. There's even Niles having a duel. This DVD includes extras such as commentary by director David Lee and writer Joe Keenan, and a little doc on the much missed Eddie.

The second season of 'Frasier' is almost as good as its first outing, with the characters now established and the actors performing with increased conviction and confidence. Some of the episodes are simply inspired, with 'The Matchmaker' among the very best of 'Frasier': the plot revolving around Frasier's attempts to set Daphne up with his gay boss, who actually has a crush on Frasier himself! There's plenty more classic moments in episodes such as 'Seat Of Power' where Frasier and Niles hire their high school nemeses to fix a broken toilet and 'You Scratch My Book...' where Frasier falls for a gorgeous self-help writer but has to conceal from her his utter contempt of her insipid books. We also see the return of Bebe Glazer, a brilliant Harriet Sansom Harris playing a sharkish agent who has succeeded in luring Frasier into representation. The scenes where she exploits Frasier's ego are quite simply not to be missed!

There are far too many great lines in this show to list here but, needless to say, even the weaker episodes have sparkle and wit. As ever, the best moments tend to come from David Hyde Pierce as Niles and he is given more room to shine in Season 2. Episodes such as 'Flour Child' and 'An Affair To Forget' are made by his terrific performances. The other members of the cast are great too of course and old faces from 'Cheers' are welcome additions in the form of Sam and Lillith (always great value). If I have one slight criticism of this season, I would say that a couple of episodes miss the mark more frequently than in Season 1. 'The Club' is a touch irksome and not the best example of the one-upmanship games constantly employed by Frasier and Niles, while 'Duke's, We Hardly Knew Ye' is forgettable. But they still have their moments and, nonetheless, this season remains as potent as comedy gets.

After an excellent first season I didn't see how 'Frasier' could possibly improve, but believe me it has! This second season is just one classic episode after another, with excellent character intereaction, wonderful, deep writing, perceptive performances from all the lead role, and best of al it is actually funny!
Basically Frasier Crane is a radio psychiatrist living his entirely different father Martin, and his out-spokem Manchester bread physical therapist Daphine. With regular visits from Frasier's snobby brother Niles and producer Roz, this Seattle based sitcom is guaranteed to always make you laugh! However this review cannot do this brilliant show justice, so you'll have to buy it for yourself. Some episode bighlights would include 'Matchmaker', which is perhaps the best piece of farcical television ever made, 'The Innkeepers', which sees Frasier and Niles open a restaurant together, as well as a furhter 22 classic episodes that you can watch again and again. Highly recommended.

I got this dvd of amazon and I think it is brilliant.Each episode is funny and the actors are amazing.

There are lots of special features to enjoy and 24 episodes.
