Courtesy of Evanier, we find one of the creators of Frasier explaining how that series came about. Interesting stuff. First installment, second, and there’s more to come. (Added later: and here’s the more – the third and final installment.)
Frasier was for most of its run quite fine (certainly better than the last few seasons of the once-fine sitcom it arose from.) It’s interesting to note that Grammer, who the article says hadn’t wanted to continue the Frasier character after Cheers, would end up campaigning to get the character a third series.
