IMHO the show was probably at its best in the early Frasier years (seasons 3-5), though the first seasons are great too.

It began to noticeably slip after that (new producers came in), with boring new characters introduced (various people wanting to buy the bar) and too much emphasis on the Rebecca character. While Kirstie Alley was definitely hotter, Shelley Long was funnier.

Most of the great episodes are set in the bar, with a few exceptions (the classic Thanksgiving show)

I also REALLY like Frasier (the show) so I'm excited to see his entrance to the show. Like I said I'm only 4 episodes in so I know I haven't gotten to see many characters yet.

True. I forgot to address that...I know there were some episodes that took place outside the bar in some capacity or another. For example, I remember one where Sam and Diane went on a date (I think) to some restaurant or something like that.

Frasier

Most successful TV character/actor of all time? Has to be, or at least up there.

The Frasier character was on TV for basically 20 years straight on two shows that were both not only hugely popular but also very critically acclaimed.
