I know it finished a while ago but a thread is needed for the daddy of all sitcoms.

The repeats of a morning on C4 are quality.

My favourite sitcom ever. First six seasons were superb, with killer lines aplenty, and a host of superb characters.

Lost its way a bit after Niles and Daphne got together, although the series that ends with them fleeing the wedding was its best year. But remained more than watchable, until hitting top form again for the final season.

Totally agree. Theyre currently showing the ones where Daphne and Niles are together and its 1 laugh per episode. Lost its motivation

Happened in friends with Ross and Rachel. Carla and Turk in Scrubs bore the fucking life out of me

Sitcoms might very well have learned by it now

[Frasier tries to convince Niles that sleeping with Nanny G is the right thing to do.]

Niles: Did you say something? Your penis was talking so loud I couldn't hear!

Frasier: You know the expression "Living well is the best revenge"?

Niles: Wonderful expression. I just don't know how true it is, you don't see it turning up in a lot of opera plots. "Ludwig, maddened by the poisoning of his entire family, wreaked vengeance on Gunther in the third act by living well."

Roz: [as Niles comes in] Bulldog, if you don't come out of there in the next ten seconds I'm gonna reach in there and pull you out by your ankles.
Niles: Hello,Roz, playing hard to get?

Niles: And I stormed out and slammed the door! Of course, it was that fourteenth century Bavarian cathedral door, so I had to get two of the servants to help me, but what it lacked in spontanaity it made up for in resonance.

Frasier: Niles, you're a good brother and a credit to the psychiatric profession.
Niles: You're a good brother too.

Niles: I came by to see how you're doing, but I only have a few minutes. I start my "Healing with Humour" support group tonight, and I still have to pick up my big shoes.

Niles: I have to go. I'm conducting a seminar in multiple personality disorders, and it takes me forever to fill out the nametags.

Niles: I had my Fear of Abandonment workshop today, and I've already been a no-show twice.

Niles: This has been delightful, but I really must run. I'm due at my sexual addiction group, and I don't like to leave them alone for too long.

Frasier: I filled in for you when you were too sick to meet with your "Fear of Intimacy" group!
Niles: I wasn't sick. They were just getting too close.

I'd go, but I've got my Compulsive Spending seminar, and I was hoping to unload the rest of these raffle tickets on them.

Niles: I have a session with my multiple personality. Not to worry - if I'm late he can just talk amongst himself.

Niles: Yes, and I'd love to stay but I... have my therapy group meeting, and last time I was late the, er, compulsive gamblers were betting the passive aggressives that they couldn't make the over-eaters cry.

It had everything. From broad farce - the weekend at the cabin, to great physical comedy - Niles ironing and some of the kitchen cameos, and superb, unpatronising writing. I've started doing work from home in the morning to catch some of the episodes on Channel 4. I'll have to buy the box sets...

Got all 11 series on DVD.
The best programme ever.
When Niles gets drunk when they go out for a meal with those professors is brilliant.
The episode in fancy dress where Roz is pregnant.
The one in the cabin.
The one where Niles throws a party for the old artist guy.

Brilliant.
