As a die-hard Frasier fan, I was over the moon when I heard that the network was releasing a special 200th episode. The show, which ran for eleven seasons from 1993 to 2004, was an essential part of my life, and I couldn’t wait to see some behind-the-scenes footage.
The first part of the outtakes reel was good. We were treated to some hilarious bloopers from the entire cast, but it was clear that Kelsey Grammer (Frasier) and David Hyde Pierce (Niles) had the most chemistry with messing up their lines. They both have such great comedic timing, and it was fun to see them feed off each other’s mistakes.
One of my favorite moments was when Kelsey Grammer broke character and couldn’t stop laughing during a scene with Peri Gilpin (Roz). The scene was meant to be serious, but the two of them just couldn’t keep a straight face. It was a reminder of how close the cast was during the show’s run and how much fun they must have had on set.
John Mahoney (Martin) also had some great moments in the outtakes reel. He played the straight man to Frasier and Niles’ antics so well, but it was clear that he was just as quick-witted and funny as the rest of the cast. Watching him ad-lib and improvise was a real treat.
As a Frasier fan, I was excited to see some of the show’s iconic sets and locations in the outtakes reel. The set designers and builders put a lot of effort into creating the Crane brothers’ apartment and the KACL radio station, and it was great to see them in a different light.
Overall, the Frasier 200th special outtakes reel was a real treat for fans of the show. It was great to see some behind-the-scenes footage, and it was clear that the cast had a lot of fun while making the show. I can’t wait for the next part of the outtakes reel to be released.
