But it's not all sturm and drang. "The Show Must Go Off" features an Emmy-winning performance by Derek Jacobi as a former Shakespearean actor Frasier rediscovers at a sci-fi convention and mounts a one-man show, only to discover that he is a talentless ham. In "Motor Skills," Niles (David Hyde Pierce) and Frasier enroll in an automobile repair class and take on unaccustomed roles as the class bad boys. This season also resolves all the obstacles keeping Niles and Daphne (Jane Leeves) apart, including a lawsuit by jilted groom Donny (Saul Rubinek), the vindictive schemes of Niles's jilted fiancée, Mel (Jane Adams), and Niles and Daphne's own illusions about each other. For longtime viewers with an emotional investment in Frasier and company, this is a richly satisfying season worthy of this gold-standard series. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews of Frasier - The Complete Eighth Season
The Thrill Is Gone By this season, Frasier succumbed to its own institutional status. So much of the wit and sparkle is replaced by a continued "milking" of the so-beloved characters and relationships. <
> <
>Daphne and Niles get together - sort of. The sheer tension of their prior inchoate relationship is changed but it seems that the writers were not quite prepared to give all of it up - so we get this high schoolish courtship thing happening. <
> <
>And the Moon family, as seen in season 7 and here, is just flat out not funny. Like the 3 Stooges without the wit. <
> <
>So why 3 stars? Well, because ya gotta love Frasier and Niles. Throughout it all, they are so endearing and enduring as characters. As we got to know them better and better, we found that we could just not live without them, and so we demanded and got Season 8 here. <
> <
>Kelsey Grammer gave us an enduring gift with this character, someone so human and reachable and yet so self-absorbed and funky. As the song "Jack and Diane" once said, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone. <
> <
>Or even Frasier, we hardly knew ye.
Only Two More to Go!!!
Now with the eighth season of Frasier out now, there's only two more seasons to wait for arrival. Hopefully, by this time next year, all eleven seasons will be completely out on the market.

>I must comment on the last gentlemen's remark about the CBS stamp on the packaging for Frasier. I'm not sure as to what that is, but I wouldn't be suprised if CBS does in fact own the series. Many shows cross-network like this for the benefit of money and publicity. For example, the show Friends was aired on NBC, but is a WB show (Warner Bros. just sold each episode to NBC each week). The only NBC show that I know for sure in our generation that is actually owned by NBC is the show Will & Grace as it shares it's estate with Lion's Gate. Paramount released Frasier and many of the shows Paramount owns are CBS shows (Touched by an Angel, The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, etc.).

>And on the subject of Paramount, I'm pleased with the release of this series as many of their other series' have problems or non-uniformed packages. While the first couple of seasons of Frasier are the only ones with bonus features, they've actually done a good job with this series in pleasing the audience rather than annoying the audience with mismatched sequences and packagings that only resulted in re-releases (I Love Lucy & Star Trek come to mind).
CBS DVD???
Agreed that Season 8 was not the best season but still better than what passes for TV sitcom today.

>Frasier and Cheers were NBC series, so how come the DVD sets are put out by "CBS DVD"?
