The TV Spotlight of the Week is... - Frasier - Personal - http://maxpages.com/liz316/TV

Frasier, the comedy series starring Emmy winner Kelsey Grammer in the title role of Dr. Frasier Crane, recently made history by earning its fourth consecutive Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, becoming the first series to receive this honor each year it has been eligible and tying an Emmy record for wins by a comedy series.
Now in its sixth season, and once again Emmy-nominated as Outstanding Comedy Series, Frasier moved from Tuesdays (9-9:30 p.m. ET) to the coveted anchor slot (9-9:30 p.m. ET) on NBC’s juggernaut "Must See TV" Thursdays, replacing Seinfeld.

On Tuesdays, Frasier was a top-15 series among adults 18-49, attracting an average of over 17.2 million viewers last season. The series has earned a total of 16 Emmys, including two for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Grammer); the prestigious Peabody Award; People’s Choice Awards for the series and for Best Actor (Grammer); a Humanitas Prize; and Golden Globe Awards for Best Musical or Comedy Series and Best Actor (Grammer), along with numerous other awards.

This upscale comedy provides a weekly dose of the neuroses and tribulations suffered by the insecure and pompous psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane, host of a radio advice show. The doctor’s family and friends include his gruff blue-collar father, Martin (John Mahoney), an ex-cop forced to move in with his son after being injured in the line of duty; Frasier’s snobbish and competitive brother, Niles (Emmy winner David Hyde Pierce), a psychiatrist with marital troubles; Martin’s live-in semi-psychic home-care provider, Daphne Moon (Jane Leeves); Frasier’s slightly jaded producer and new single parent, Roz (Peri Gilpin); fellow talk show host Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe (Dan Butler); and Martin’s pesky Jack Russell terrier, Eddie (Moose).

Frasier is a presentation of Grub Street Productions in association with Paramount Network Television. Emmy winners David Angell, Peter Casey and David Lee are the creators. Angell, Casey, Lee and Christopher Lloyd serve as the executive producers.
