"Frasier" aired on NBC from 1993 to 2004. The spin-off of "Cheers" features Kelsey Grammer in a reprisal of his role as psychologist Frasier Crane. After the conclusion of "Cheers" and the dissolution of his marriage in Boston, Crane moved to Seattle to host a call-in radio program and share his would-be bachelor pad with his father (John Mahoney), recently injured in the line of duty as a Seattle police officer, and his father's physical therapist (Jane Leeves). Frasier also was forced to endure visits from his brother (David Hyde Pierce).
Because of his portrayal of Frasier on "Cheers" and "Frasier," Grammer currently is the co-owner of the record for longest appearance as a character in live-action primetime television. The actor tied with James Arness of "Gunsmoke."
