approval

I have watched this show at least once every week for the last 10 years and people are still leaving positive reviews

Everyone’s got at least one go-to programme they return to now and again. I’ve got several I rotate through, whether it’s The Thick Of It, I’m Alan Partridge or Star Trek, but there’s consistently one that stands head and shoulders above the rest and I’m not the only one who reckons it deserves a viewing.

Boasting a 95% approval score on Rotten Tomatoes, Frasier is the American sitcom that keeps proving its staying power and I’ve tuned in at least weekly (possibly more) for over ten years. I can recall when this brilliant piece of farcical comedy served as a late-morning slot-filler on Channel 4, and that’s where I initially encountered the endearing yet pretentious radio psychiatrist as he adjusts to fresh beginnings in Seattle.

Whilst Frasier originally launched in 1993, plenty of viewers already knew the main character from the Boston-set sitcom Cheers.

Spanning 11 series right through to 2004, Frasier, portrayed by Kelsey Grammer, remains remarkably relevant today, with numerous episodes revolving around the comic consequences of a straightforward misunderstanding that viewers are completely aware of.

It’s packed with brilliant one-liners, gags that mock the upper classes and a dash of slapstick chucked in for good measure.

It follows Frasier’s relocation from Boston to his swanky new flat in the fictional Elliot Bay Towers, and launches his fresh radio call-in programme at the neighbourhood KACL station alongside producer Roz, portrayed by Peri Gilpin.

Comedy gold unfolds when he welcomes his down-to-earth father Martin, portrayed by the late John Mahoney, Martin’s live-in physiotherapist Daphne, brought to life by Jane Leeves, and his scruffy terrier Eddie into his pristine apartment, reports the Express.

There’s no shortage of sharp-tongued sparring between Frasier and his equally pretentious sibling Niles, embodied by David Hyde Pierce, while sipping a steaming macchiato at their beloved Cafe Nervosa.

Both audiences and reviewers adore it, with each series packed with memorable episodes that become more hilarious with repeated watches.

Fans continue posting glowing testimonials more than two decades since it wrapped, cementing this legendary sitcom’s devoted following.

One viewer raved: “Just a fantastic series. Great writing. Brilliant acting. As much as I enjoy Kelsey Grammar in this series… David Hyde Pierce really does steal the show.”

Another declared: “This is a go-to classic for intellectual humour while building upon continuing story arcs and having solid standalone episodes. Frasier is one of the best TV series ever made.”

A third enthused: “Definitely one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, watching it over again.”

There’s been a Frasier revival, though this features a fresh ensemble aside from Kelsey Grammer, and has received divided opinions.

Both the classic and revived Frasier are available on Paramount Plus, whilst the original run can be streamed on Channel 4. Individual series and episodes can be purchased through Amazon Prime.

LEWIS Hamilton already has the seal of approval from the Kardashian family amid his new romance with Kim.

The Sun exclusively revealed how the pair had enjoyed a secret date with one another at a luxury Cotswolds manor house.

Kim jetted into the UK to spend time with the F1 ace amid the throes of their new romance.

Kim’s new suitor Lewis is already well-liked among her extended family and has got the seal of approval from mum Kris Jenner as well as Kylie’s boyfriend, Timothee Chalamet.

Just two months ago, actor Timothee listed Lewis among his list of the five greatest Brits.

Whilst promoting his movie Marty Supreme, Timothee revealed that Lewis was among his British idols alongside David and Victoria Beckham, Susan Boyle and hip-hop artisit, Fakemink.

Secret link between Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton revealed

Timothee has been dating Kylie since April 2023 with the pair enjoying a dinner thrown by Kim in Malibu just last month with the reality star dishing all on the pair staying for hours during her recent appearance on Khloe in Wonder Land.

Elsewhere, mum Kris has long been a fan of racing driver Lewis.

Back in October 2015, she took to Instagram to dedicate a whole post to Lewis’ F1 win.

Kris said at the time: “Congratulations @lewishamilton !!!! We are soooo proud of you!!!!!!“

Interestingly, Kris went on to add “#family,” onto her Instagram caption.

Furthermore, insiders claimed back in 2015 that Kris saw Lewis as “perfect” and a “good influence” and reportedly sang his praises as a potential partner to her daughters – 11 years before his new romance with Kim.

The Sun revealed the world exclusive that Kim and Lewis had spent time together this weekend after she flew into the country on her £100million private jet from LA.

The mum-of-four and Brit seven-time F1 world champ enjoyed an ­intimate dinner and a couple’s massage as part of a romantic weekend getaway in the country.

She arrived with a mountain of luggage for her brief stay at the exclusive Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds, with three bodyguards protecting the couple.

Insiders said they were granted exclusive use of the posh spa at the country club in Witney, Oxfordshire, before ­having a meal in a private room.

A source told The Sun: “It all appeared to be very romantic. Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer.

“She had two bodyguards with her and Lewis had a close protection officer but they remained in the background.

“Two of the three stood guard outside the door to their room, so no one could disturb them.”

Seven-times world champion Lewis has known Kim for years, and was close to her ­rapper ex Kanye West.

However the pair have never been romantically linked.

Mum-of-four Kim touched down on Saturday afternoon at Oxford Airport, where two cars — one for her luggage — were waiting to make the nine-minute journey to Estelle Manor.

An hour later, Lewis, who drives for Italian team Ferrari, arrived at the Grade II-listed property by helicopter, chartered from London’s Battersea Heliport.
