As a spinoff of the popular comedy series Cheers (which is also featured on this list), Frasier premiered in 1993 and left behind an immense legacy. Spinoff series don’t typically pan out well (Does anyone remember Joey’s ill-fated eponymous Friends spinoff?), but Frasier was as successful, if not more, than its parent series.

Frasier followed Kelsey Grammer’s titular therapist turned radio host moving from Boston to Seattle to move in with his father and reunite with his high-strung brother. Still, Frasier Crane brought all of his baggage with him to the West Coast, and it only grows. Before long, the shrink needs a shrink of his own.

With 11 seasons and 264 episodes, the 37-time Emmy winner poses quite the binge commitment. But to experience an integral piece of NBC’s Must See TV pop culture phenomenon and one of television’s most beloved sitcoms, it’s more than worth diving right into the side-splitting world of Frasier.
