«EXCELLENT set!!!»
8/9/2010 - I honestly don't see how anyone can possibly complain about this set! Audio quality is excellent. Video quality is also excellent, especially considering that the oldest episodes were (apparently) not digitally enhanced - as far as I can tell, NONE of the episodes were but the transfers were excellent nonetheless. All 40+ discs play perfectly well. Many of the added special features are quite good. And although Paramount's "coming attractions," starting with the Season Four set, play before the episodes do they CAN be skipped by pressing your remote's Chapter Skip Forward button.
Although $200+ is certainly a bit steep for a tv series, considering the total number of discs & episodes along with the generally high quality of the transfers, I'd say the set is a MUST BUY for any Frasier fan. If you enjoy Frasier, just buy the set - you'll not regret it!
8/24/2010 - HAD to offer this "update." I'd forgotten exactly HOW good this series was. I've got quite the collection of sitcom sets (including Seinfeld and Everybody Loves Ramond, among others) but this one is the TOPS hands-down. It's so good that once you start watching the first episode on a disc you're immediately inclined to watch the rest of them - kind of like reading a book that's so good you just can't put it down until you're either too tired or you know the AM alarm's about to ring... consequently I 'm already through Season Six. Sure the other shows are all top-notch, but this one has the depth, intelligence, heart AND soul that the others seem to come up a bit short on. The stars' superb comical acting skills are all pretty much consistently demonstrated throughout. The "guest callers" that are in most all of the episodes and even many of the guest stars collectively constitute a marvelous collage of memorable personalities of the stage, screen and television from decades past (and present). And the incredible Shakespearean and slapstick comedy elements here and there elevate it all to sheer genius. It's no wonder that the show lasted 11 seasons.
5 stars all the way!

«Great show, terrible, terrible disc quality»
This is a brilliant show, but do yourself a favor and purchase each season separately. You won't spend that much extra money, and it's totally worth avoiding the aggravation. On half of the seasons, there is at least 1 disc that plays badly, and therefore that entire season must be replaced. I will end up paying 50% more for this than if I'd purchase each season individually.
