Peran dalam Ceria
Frasier Crane, an alumnus of Harvard University, Harvard Medical School, and Oxford University, debuted in two parts of the episode "Rebound" (1984), premiere of "Cheers" season three (1984-85), as a psychiatrist to help bartender Sam Malone recovered from the return of alcoholism and also overcome his separation with Diane Chambers. Also Diane's fiancee during the third season, she and Diane were supposed to be married in Italy in "Rescue Me" (1985), finals of season three. However, in "Birth, Death, Love, and Rice" (1985), season 4 prime (1985-86), Frasier enters the bar and tells Sam that he is rejected by Diane at the altar in Europe. The desperate Frasier, who left his training to go to Europe, lost his job teaching at a European university. Later in the fourth season, he began regularly attending Cheers for drinks and found himself increasingly dependent on alcohol. In "The Triangle" (1986), Sam pretends the symptoms of depression, planned by Diane, to help Frasier recover from alcoholism and regain her confidence. This caused Frasier to conclude that Sam's symptoms showed her love for Diane. However, upon arrival Frasier sees Sam and Diane arguing in the bar office, Sam acknowledges the whole plan. Angry, Frasier declares himself conscious, refuses to be part of their relationship, and vows to practice psychiatry again.
The character eventually becomes a permanent fixture amongst the other bar visitors at the end of the third season, and adds to his comedic repertoire that sometimes likes to comment on Cheers' other fixed personality shortcomings, while still managing to keep extra fun for the gang. When his role was expanded, Frasier became romantically involved with the intelligent "intelligent queen of intelligence", Lilith Sternin (Bebe Neuwirth). Their first date in Second Time Around (1986) did not go well; they insult each other until he leaves the bar, disappointing him. In "Abnormal Psychology" (1986), Frasier and Lilith felt a mutual attraction after Diane gave Lilith a makeover. Initially reluctant to start a new one, they then decided to go on another date. They lived together for a year before marriage a month before "Our Hourly Bread" (1988) as revealed in the episode, and gave birth to their son Frederick in "The Stork Brings a Crane" (1989). (In "Smotherly Love" (1992), they re-create their marriage to please Lilith's mother, Betty (Marilyn Cooper), who is annoyed that she is not present for their marriage).
In "One Hugs, the Other Does not" (1992), Frasier was revealed to have previously married Nanette Guzman (Emma Thompson), now known as the popular children entertainer Nanny G. When Nanette sings a song that implies the possibility of her feelings. for Frasier (although fully aware of her remarriage), Lilith attacked him during Frederick's second birthday party.
In "Teaching with the Enemy" (1992), Lilith acknowledges her affair with another man, Dr. Louis Pascal (Peter Vogt), condemned their marriage. In "Is There a Doctor at Howe?" (1993), a desperate Frasier will sleep with Rebecca Howe in her bed until Lilith suddenly returns and then - in the following episode "The Bar Manager, The Shrink, His Wife and Her Lover" (1993) - storms out of space and then head to Cheers. There, Lilith reveals that his eco-pod experiments with Pascal were a disaster - Pascal turned out to be claustrophobic among other mental problems - and he left the project to return to Boston. Frasier, Rebecca, and finally Pascal meets Cheers in pursuit of Lilith. Pascal, armed with a gun, demanded Lilith return to him, threatening to shoot Frasier and the others. Lilith demands that he shoot him first, which causes him to retreat and surrender to the police. Although Frasier initially refused to take Lilith back after all of this, his sad tears won him, suggesting reconciliation could happen.

Roles in Frasier
In 1993, after Cheers ended, Frasier and Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) divorced offscreen, and Lilith was granted custody of their son Frederick, with Frasier given the right to visit. In the pilot "The Good Son," Frasier explains that he left Boston because he feels that his life and career have been stagnant (and he has been publicly humiliated after climbing up the ledge and almost committing suicide before being discussed). Therefore, he returns to his native home in Seattle, where his father Martin (John Mahoney) and his brother Niles (David Hyde Pierce) live, to start a new beginning.
Frasier works for the radio station, KACL, as host of his psychotherapy radio show, The Dr. Frasier Crane Show , produced by the producer and his friend, Roz Doyle (Fairy Gilpin), who has many former friends. Later, his father Martin, a retired Seattle police detective who was shot in his duties, eventually moved in with him. Frasier becomes worried about his father in his state when he can barely walk, and needs a stick to move. In Toast , Frasier says that his father is dead, and that he is a scientist. He also said that he was an only child. This inconsistency is then described in "The Show Where Sam Shows Up": In Frasier's apartment, Sam Malone tells Martin and Niles what Frasier is saying about them, and Frasier explains that he's trying to distance himself from his family at that moment. In Cheers , Frasier tells the bar visitor that he is an orphan. He asserts in "For All the Girls I Love Before" (1988) that his mother Hester, played by Nancy Marchand in "Diane Meets Mother" (1984) and then by Rita Wilson in flashbacks in "Mamma Mia" (1999) and " Don Juan in Hell: Part 2 "(2001), off the screen.
Frasier hires a physical physical therapist, Daphne Moon (Jane Leeves), to keep Martin. Daphne is an eccentric British working-class lady who claims to be "a bit paranormal". In addition, Martin brings his beloved Jack Russell Terrier, Eddie, who is hated by Frasier. After some initial fears, Frasier grew very close to his new family.
In "IQ" (season six, episode 19), he is revealed to have been an alumnus of the University of Oxford in addition to being an alumnus of Harvard. In the same episode, he is said to have scored 129 in a school IQ test (his brother Niles scored 156).
Live with Martin and Niles
During the spin-off trip, especially in the scene at Frasier's apartment, Frasier and Martin regularly debated the arrangements of their lives and personalities: The sophisticated, intellectual, and educated friars, while Martin was a rough man with modest tastes. speaking (according to Frasier) with words that are not understood by "sophisticated, educated" people. While Frasier has many interests together with Niles and shares his adventures (or misfortune) with him, he has little in common with his father, Martin.
In "Dinner at Eight" (1993), Martin takes Frasier and Niles to a themed steak restaurant, where Fraraer and Niles are health-conscious, arrogantly criticizing food, restaurant habits and customers. Martin becomes frustrated and angry before leaving, commenting after leaving that their mother, Hester, will be disappointed with their behavior. Frasier and Niles try to prove that they are not "arrogant people" by consuming their food, although it takes time until closing time. Ironically, in the episode seven episode, "I Kid You Not" (1988), Frasier invites Carla and her son Ludlow to an upscale, expensive restaurant, but Carla and Ludlow criticize and taunt her, angering Frasier.
In "Cess Pains", Frasier taught Martin how to play chess, but was horrified when Martin became a better player than him, because of Martin's experienced experience as a police detective. Frasier became obsessed with winning against his father until Frasier won one game and Martin did not want to play with Frasier anymore. Late one night, Frasier wakes Martin and asks if he has lost a game of chess on purpose. Martin replied that Frasier "won, fair and honest" and nothing more.
In an episode of the seventh season of "A Tsar Is Born" (1999), Martin takes an old family clock, which Frasier and Niles consider horrible, to be on display at the Antiques Roadshow. When the children soon discover, the clock is related to their ancestral and royal family, and may be worth the money, and heighten their hopes of becoming descendants of the royal family. Unfortunately, when they tried to sell hours later, the brothers learned from an antique specialist who was stolen from the daughter of Tsar Alexander II. In addition, his great-grandmother was found as a thief of the hour and a housekeeper of a girl, and was found later a prostitute in New York City. Therefore, the brothers were left without luck, the hour, and the dream of their kingdom destroyed, as Frasier said, they were descended from "thieves and prostitutes". Much to their anger, Martin bought the Winnebago RV with the money Frasier claimed was the result of selling the clock.
Reunion with Lilith and Frederick
Actress Bebe Neuwirth left Cheers for fear of being typecast and performing the theater (mostly Broadway); he does not expect to appear repeatedly at Frasier . Cheers and Frasier authors Ken Levine and David Isaacs found enough Frasier and Lilith chemistry â € Å"spesialâ € to compare them with Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy in Prozac. In "The Show Where Lilith Comes Back" (1994), Lilith surprised Frasier by turning to a radio show. They then make love in the hotel room, but finally regret it, encouraging them to split up again. They decide to remain friends and help each other raise their son, Frederick (Trevor Einhorn), who also occasionally appears in this spin-off. In "The Adventure of Heaven, Part Two" (1994), Lilith is engaged to her fiancé Brian (James Morrison), much to Frasier's disappointment. In "A Lilith Thanksgiving" (1996), Frasier and Lilith have asked Frederick to go to private school after they interrupted the administrator (Paxton Whitehead) several times on Thanksgiving. In "The Unnatural" (1997), Frasier proved uneasy and ugly in softball, which he reluctantly admitted to Frederick. Then Frasier told him that, when Frasier was a third grader of elementary school, Martin was bad in mathematics.
Many of the intellectuals along with Lilith who sit next to the post-divorce navigation narrative depend on the fact that in psychological terms Lilith is a behaviorist while Frasier is a psychoanalyst.
In "Room Service" (1998), Lilith was recently divorced from her husband, Brian, for his gay affair. It was easier to try to renew the relationship, but changed his mind when he found out, in the daze, that Lilith and Niles were drunk one night. Lilith last appeared in "Guns' N Neuroses" (2003), where she Frasier was accidentally set to go on a blind date. Lilith and Frasier are close to restarting relationships in hotel rooms, but they are plagued by loud arguments between young couples getting married next door. Frasier and Lilith were able to resolve the couple's split, spent the night together watching television, and finally fell asleep on the couch without intimacy. The next morning, they parted in their last moments together.
Reunion with Cheers characters
With the exception of Rebecca Howe (Kirstie Alley), all of the surviving members of the main Cheers act appeared in the show at various points. In "The Show Where Sam Shows Up" (1995), Sam Malone reunited with Frasier in Seattle. Later, Frasier was found to have slept with Sam Sheila's fiance (TÃÆ'Ã… © a Leoni), but Sam has not found the affair, much to Frasier's relief. Nevertheless, Sam finds dalliances with Paul Krapence (Paul Willson) and Cliff Clavin (John Ratzenberger), who ends a romantic relationship. In "The Show Where Diane Comes Back" (1996), Frasier reunited with Diane Chambers and learned that the recent relationship failed and that the foundation refused to fund her upcoming game, encouraging her to support it. The play was based on their relationship in Boston, including leaving him at the altar. Frasier angrily opposed him about it, but they finally did reconciliation.
In "The Show Where Woody Shows Up" (1999), Woody Boyd (Woody Harrelson), still married to Kelly with his son and daughter, accidentally reunited with his old friend, Frasier after landing at the wrong destination, Seattle. However, they realize that they no longer enjoy time together, because their lives are too different. Nonetheless, they admit they are having fun together in Boston, and they will always care for each other. In "Cheerful Goodbyes" (2002), Frasier arrives to Boston for a psychiatric conference. At the airport, Frasier suddenly bumped into an old friend, Cliff Clavin and was invited to Cliff's retirement party the following night, where he reunited with waiter Carla Tortelli (Rhea Perlman) and then briefly Norm Peterson (George Wendt). Later, Cliff confessed in Frasier that he was afraid his friends would not miss him. Frasier tells everyone to say good-bye to Cliff - even Carla, who hates her. Touched, Cliff decided to stay in Boston, much to Carla's disappointment.
Last year: 2003-04
In the "Caught in the Act" (2004), Frasier's former wife, Nanette Guzman (Laurie Metcalf), tried to revive their relationship, but Frasier refused. (This character was previously described by Emma Thompson in the episode of "One Hugs, the Other Does not" (1992) and by Dina Spybey in "Don Juan in Hell, Part 2" (2001) as part of Frasier's imaginary dream.) Later, she fell in love with Charlotte Connor (Laura Linney), but the romance turned out to be short-lived when she moved to Chicago. At the end of the two-part series of 2004, "Goodnight, Seattle", Frasier was offered a job as his own television talk show host, located in San Francisco and decided to pick it up. However, in the last scene of the show, it was revealed that Frasier had been on a plane to Chicago, probably to be with Charlotte.

Development
Conception and transmission
The character, Frasier Crane, was created in the third season of Cheers (1984-1985) by the creators of the Glen and Les Charles series as Diane Chambers (Shelley Long) "romantic and intellectual ideal" after his separation with Sam Malone (Ted Danson). Not only opponents and opponents Sam Malone, Frasier Crane is also part of a love triangle, "a different form for Sam-Diane's relationship," Glen Charles said. The writer of the show originally contained the character as "the role of Ralph Bellamy who used to play in the movie Cary Grant - a man who falls in love with a woman but is not real.You just know he does not have the sexual dynamism Grant gave." John Lithgow was originally chosen by < i> Cheers manufacturer for the role, but reject it. Grammer believes that he has failed the audition because no one laughs, but is chosen because of the quality of his performance with Danson. Frasier should only appear on several episodes before Diane left him, but Grammer's appearance was praised by the series executives, leading to an extended role in the series. However, his character was not universally popular, as it came between Sam and Diane; a fan approaches the Grammer while asking, "Are you the dick pin that plays Frasier?", and the show receives a fan mail that denounces the Grammar.
When Cheers ended in 1993, creators initially did not plan to release characters from their predecessors because they feared that spinoff might fail. Instead, they want to star Kelsey Grammer as a crippled millionaire resembling Malcolm Forbes, "a magazine maestro [and] a motorcycle enthusiast". The idea was deemed inappropriate and omitted. Then the event maker decided to move Frasier Crane out of Boston to avoid a resemblance to Cheers . The idea of ​​a spin-off will focus on "his work on radio stations", but they find it resembles an older sitcom, WKRP in Cincinnati . Therefore, they decided to add to his personal life, like his father Martin and brother Niles. Since the spin-off of Frasier, Frasier became "arrogant, insulting, and very tense."
Characterization and analysis
Frasier Crane is a licensed psychiatrist who, as Kelsey Grammer describes, is "flawed, ridiculous, arrogant, and full of himself, [yet] both [and] vulnerable." Judy Berman from Flavor Wire describes it as "a prodigy, a geek theater, and a frequent target for bullies." According to Cheers and Frasier author Peter Casey, Frasier "very complicated, very smart, but also very unsafe;" he may have all the solutions to the problem as a psychiatrist but does not understand himself.
Reception
Popularity

Critical reaction

(In "The Show Where Sam Shows Up" [1995], Frasier discusses his inconsistency by explaining that he told his friends Martin had died after a fight with him.) In another book TV Therapy , Frasier Crane in Cheers is considered "high-strung [and] pseudo-sophisticated" and the appeal of the 1980s "anti-intellectual hubris" demography, but Frasier at Frasier is regarded as good, a positive role model for intellect and sophistication.
