Series 7 is, of course, the one where Niles and Daphne finally get together and plot developments in this story are cleverly sprinkled across the episodes with a very moving final episode. The majority of the episodes here are extremely funny with some superb episodes - Martin pretending to be gay, the Russian princess etc. Nevertheless I am not convinced this series reaches the heights of some of the early ones. For example, apart from the final episode, there is very little on-screen chemistry between Niles and Daphne. A couple of episodes of the quality of "Moondance" would really have helped build the romantic tension. Secondly, Niles' girlfriend for the series - Mel - is a deeply unsympathetic character and the episodes she features in tend to be annoying rather than funny. Thirdly we meet Daphne's dreadful family in the last couple of episodes. Their characters, in my view, do not enhance any episode they are in, and positively spoil the next series. Finally a small minority of the episodes seem to rehash storylines from past series - another Winnebago episode ! - meaning we've seen the jokes before and they are less funny this time.

Having said all that, there are many excellent episodes in Series 7 and it is well worth the money. The last episode of the series is one of the most moving of all.

Superb - and a bargain at less than ??14 for 24 episodes. Just buy it.
Why is there nothing like this on (UK)TV nowadays?

I have been disappointed by Frasier so far. I remember it from its original broadcast as being a great show. Unfortunately watching the DVDs has not been as enjoyable as I would have expected. The show can be a bit dull and not as funny as I expected. It picked up after the first few seasons but it never really matched how I remembered it.

This season is like what I thought the whole series would be like. Great, very funny episodes back to back; although the quality veers off a bit at the end of disc 3 and the first half of disc 4 as they waste time before the final wedding episodes.

I remember that the programme went downhill after Niles and Daphne got together so I think I'm safe in saying that this is the best season they made.

If you like Frasier but don't want to buy all the box sets then this is the season you should buy.

Curiously Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe appears to have left the show as he is in only one episode?

That Friday night with Dr Frasier Crane was practically a tradition in the 90s on Channel 4 but around season 7 it seemed to start getting bounced around to different timeslots and then eventually wound up on obscure triple bill Sattellite channels so I just gave up and started buying the video's. The quality of the acting and writing is superb. Many people had wearied of the dynamic of the characters by the final season in 2004 but I think as a comedy it's production values will remain in a league of their own-some superb stuff here from the 2000 series.

Season 7 of Frasier is finally available on DVD in the UK and it is probably the most exciting season yet. This is the series when Daphne finally finds out about Niles' secret love for her, however she is in the process of arranging her marriage to her lawyer fiance, Donny when she hears the news and Niles has also met a new love, Mel, who seems to have all of Maris's worst characteristics, so things couldn't be more difficult and awkward for the two of them.

With this main storyline aside there are some absolutley hilarious episodes such as Bulldog's love for Roz being revealed after he begins scaring off all of her dates; Fraiser dates a women who is identical to his mother; Martin buys a camper van; and Frasier also gets a new producer on his show whilst Roz is on holiday who he eventually can't stand and begins to steal his show.

Once again Kelsey Grammar and the gang provide hours of side-splitting entertainment with some of the funniest scripts and fast-paced comedy, proving that this is one of the best and most hilarious US sitcoms ever. I can't wait to get season 8 now to find out what happens next!
