We feel a sudden hankering for tossed salad and scrambled eggs…
As if we didn’t feel old enough as it is, Kelsey Grammer made us feel even older when reminding us that yesterday marked the 21st anniversary of the day that the first episode of Frasier aired on TV Stateside.
Our sudden awareness of our age quickly diminished, however, because our thoughts quickly turned to our memories of the show and why it was one of the funniest, cleverest, wittiest and well-written sitcoms ever made.
The show lasted for eleven years and eleven seasons and in that time it delivered endless amounts of funny, touching, heart-warming and unashamedly high-brow moments and while we’ve included one for every year since the show first aired below, it could have easily been 100.
Goodnight Seattle.
