Millions of fans were disappointed to learn that the 11th season of Frasier would be its last, even though some had grumbled that the show had become stale. To the surprise of many, the final 23 episodes included some of the very best in the series. By the time the series-ending two-parter, "Goodbye, Seattle," aired in early 2004, Frasier's producers had tied up all the loose ends and interpolated a number of in-jokes that diehard fans would appreciate. The 2003-4 season got off to a hilarious start with "No Sex Please, We're Skittish," in which Roz (Peri Gilpin) decides that she hates her new job and returns to KACL as though nothing had happened, somehow giving Frasier the impression that she is romantically interested in him. It's also revealed that Daphne (Jane Leeves) is pregnant with husband Niles's (David Hyde Pierce) child. Frasier's girlfriend, Julia Wilcox (Felicity Huffman), gets the boot just a couple of episodes later, and subsequently Laura Linney is introduced as Charlotte, his new love interest. Star Trek: The Next Generation star Patrick Stewart guest-stars in the hilarious "The Doctor Is Out," playing the gay director of Seattle's opera guild. Bebe Neuwirth makes her final appearance as Frasier's ex-wife, Lilith, in "Guns 'n' Neuroses." The memorable series finale finds Frasier's dad, Martin (John Mahoney), marrying another Season 11 regular, Ronee Lawrence (Wendie Malick), and Daphne giving birth to a son, with Frasier leaving Seattle to take an exciting new job in San Francisco. The challenge of winding down and providing a satisfying conclusion to Frasier's 11-year run certainly inspired the show's writers, who turned out some of the sharpest scripts of the entire series. There's no denying that the distinguished sitcom went out on a high note, and the episodes collected in this extras-laden four-disc box set will provide many hours of pleasure for years to come.
