Star World to air news season of 'Frasier'

Star World

Snob quotient is high on Star World. The snobbish, pompous yet incredible funny duo, the Crane brothers are back with their entourage for a new season of Frasier. Starting Monday, 23 February 2004 at 9:30 pm, Stars English entertainment arm will air the season seven.

The sitcom, starring Kelsey Grammer made history by becoming the first series, comedy or drama, to achieve a record five consecutive Emmys for Outstanding Comedy Series.

The show is all about the neuroses and tribulations suffered by an insecure and pompous psychiatrist, Dr Frasier Crane, host of a Seattle radio advice show, says a company release.

Adding to his comic misery is his gruff, ex-cop father, Martin (John Mahoney), Martin's pesky Jack Russell terrier Eddie, and a live-in physical therapist Daphne (Jane Leeves).

While his home is frequently visited by Frasier's snobbish and competitive brother, Niles (David Hyde Pierce), a fellow psychiatrist, at work, slightly jaded and man-hungry producer Roz Doyle (Peri Gilpin) keeps the sarcasms running.

In this season, audience can look forward to the impending marriage of Daphne and Donny that provides a recurring theme throughout the season culminating in the season ending finale. Other highlights of the serial include episodes where Frasier is mistaken for dead, Martin is mistaken for being gay, Frasier throws a raunchy bachelor party for Donny and Daphne recounts her disastrous bridal shower to her anger management counsellor.

Guest stars appearing this season include Rita Wilson, Bebe Neuwirth (reprising her role of Frasier's ex-wife Lilith), Jean Smart, Marg Helgenberger (CSI), and Robert Loggia, adds the release.
