The Frasier scripts

de David Angell, Peter Casey, David Lee

"A half-hour comedy series set in Seattle, Washington, Frasier chronicles the lives of eloquently pompous radio show host Dr. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer), his brazen radio producer Roz (Peri Gilpin), his competitive highbrow brother Niles (David Hyde Pierce), their crotchety father Martin (John Mahoney) and his companion dog Eddie (Moose), his quirky live-in nurse Daphne (Jane Leeves), and the obnoxious sportscaster Bulldog (Dan Butler)." "One hundred and fifty episodes were produced in the first six seasons by the staff of Frasier, including the "The Good Son," which won the show's first Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Writing. Now in this one volume for the first time are fifteen complete scripts, including the award-winning pilot. The selection was made by the show's production staff to represent the various approaches taken to fulfill the show's promise: "to be funny first, but also to be true to the characters, to explore their wants and needs in ways that occasionally achieve something like poignancy."" "Illustrated with over 30 photos from the show, this unique book is ideal for the millions of Frasier fans, admirers of accomplished humor writing, and for students and professionals in the film and TV industry."--BOOK JACKET.
