David Hyde Pierce was not only amazing at delivering a line, but he was top-notch at incorporating the details and nuance of his character. For me, he will also always be one of the gold standards in physical comedy. He took what could have just been a lovable character and turned him into an icon.

More than a foil it allowed the Frasier character to adapt from Cheers to Frasier so easily and smoothly. When Frasier first appeared on Cheers he was Niles in every which way and direction but the character adapted to the bar scene that was Cheers. When the spin off happened it allowed Frasier to develop from the bar scene to being adaptable to Niles who was also his best friend as well as brother in Frasier. Niles did so much for the Frasier character development and they were able to find a character that looked like Frasier from the early seasons of Cheers.

My husband and I saw him on Broadway once and we waited for him to exit the theatre. He had the physique os a skinny 12 year old boy and nobody would recognize him on the street. Very narrow shoulders and very thin. Those suits made his character and I now always check out their immense shoulder pads!

Niles was the perfect picture of the smart kid in class who was so horribly picked on that eventually he developed one hell of a nasty bite.

Niles character changed a lot through out the seasons he became more humble and funnier.

The whit and sharp-edge banter (great writing!) carries over to any genre. It’s basically a high brow version of Sanford and Son. I can relate to selling junk and living in a sketchy area as much as I can relate to purchasing a bottle of Chateau de Snob and living in a luxury apartment - but the family issues, one-upping, etc are universal. Watching 5%ers having 95%er problems is endearing, somehow. For all their airs, they’re still us :)

Frasier wouldn't have been as great if not for Niles. Simply brilliant!

The greatest sitcom of all time. The absolute best writers and Kelsey and David were the greatest. Brilliant!

Most brilliantly written and acted television comedy of all time.

Quite the best comedy writing.

I love how all of them grew into their characters...great show..

Frasier is one of the rare sitcoms that was fresh and funny from the pilot to the series finale. David Hyde Pierce was perfect to be Frasier Crane's brother in appearance and character.

Epitome of sitcoms. Nothing will match it. My girlfriend begged me for days to watch the show with her from the beginning because she loves it. After watching the first episode Were on season 4. I also remember my family watching this show when I was younger and I never understood anything because it all went over my head. Now being 30 years old I understand all the wittiness, snide remarks, Sarcastic comebacks and jokes I never understood otherwise and I absolutely love it. This show is, classy, touching and very easy to binge. I love everything about it. Such a wonderfully made show.

I never knew how savage he was lmao "Two gutless wonders"

It's been, I don't know, 15 years since I watched a single scene from this show. Now I can't help but think Jim Parsons was HEAVILY inspired by Niles to portrait Sheldon Cooper.

That was the whole premise of the "Brother from another series" episode. Also, the reason why you had to have watched the first few seasons of Fraiser to get the joke of Cecil's response to Bart. "Guess who?" "Maris." It was the whole idea of going from psychiatry to psychotic (or criminally insane). How would it be if the psychiatrists were their patients? To be fair, that is the very paradox of what makes Fraiser such a good show. He tries to help others with their problems, yet doesn't know how to help himself. In my opinion, it is what made Fraiser and Niles so good together. Each being in the same profession, they try to lean on each other to figure out their problems. It also shows the true breakdown when each can't cope any more and use different cries for help. Frasier shuts himself away, as he is so used to dealing with others, while Niles feels he needs to be liberated and freed, a perfect example is the stripping in the coffee shop, due to an anxiety attack. Yes, I am doing what they do and analysing it, but it is such a good show.

David really ought to have been the breakout star. Not that the rest of the cast didn't do a good job, but he was simply on another level. Between him and the character of Niles, he's the best thing on the show.

@rocketman0324

I'd have to disagree. Kelsey is the best actor I have ever seen. As even David conceded at the Emmys, it's a lot harder to be the lead than a supporting actor. Supporting actors can be outrageous, but if you don't have that stabilizing force for the supporting actor then the show craters. Don Knotts is considered one of the best sidekicks of all time, but 30 minutes of Barney Fife every week would've killed the show.

@@rocketman0324 Kelsey was mediocre in Cheers , is mediocre in Frasier, and is mediocre in everything he's done since Frasier. He's just not very good. The recent reports about bringing Frasier back without the rest of the cast, particularly Niles, almost certainly mean we'll get to see more mediocrity.

@rocketman0324

I'll let the facts speak for themselves. The reason he got his own show is because the creator's of Cheers thought he was so good. Grammer has received at least 45 nominations for major awards and has won on 18 occasions. He has received 14 individual Emmy Award nominations for four different television shows (plus an additional two as part of the Frasier ensemble) and has won five times.

This was my Dad’s favourite show at one time & I became hooked myself. I was in school then. I’ve watched reruns of Frasier a few times, & it aged so well. Niles Crane was my favourite character and no one but David Hyde Pierce could have played him to that level of perfection. My favourite sub plot was Niles & Daphne’s love story. This being September 2021, it’s appropriate to remember David Angell one of the creators of Frasier that passed away on 9/11, onboard American Arlines Flight 11. I thank him for this masterpiece. It’s a special show for me.

Its hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to, I'd prolly go with: "Niles, I would shave my head for you." "A gesture which becomes less significant with each passing year."
