Frasier - Season 3 - Vol. 2 [1994]

The two best things here are the agonisingly titled "Chess Pains", and the series closer "You Can Never Go Home Again". In the former, the irresistible force of Frasier's ego collides with the immovable object of his father's common sense (Martin Crane, here as ever, gets all the best lines). In the latter, a series of flashbacks recreate Frasier's return to Seattle and the awkward re-establishment of his relationships with his father and brother. These scenes are perfectly judged: funny without being crass, warm without being mawkish and the very essence of this consistently fine comedy.--Andrew Mueller

Great box set!, 2002-07-15
Containing 12 episodes, this box-set is an excellent selection of Frasier episodes from the middle of the series long before the resolution of the Daphne/Niles issue which (in my opinion) started Frasier on the down-hill path from which it hasn't recovered.

This set contains some classic episodes ('Crane vs Crane', 'High Crane Drifter', etc) and should make both an excellent addition to the collection of a Frasier afficionado, or a good entry into the show for a Frasier newcomer!
