Partners Keenan and Lloyd, who left the show in 2000 to develop for Paramount Network Television, received numerous honors and accolades during their tenure, including several Emmy Awards. The duo also won the prestigious Writers Guild Award for their final Frasier script entitled Something Borrowed, Something Blue in which Niles desperately seeks romantic advice from Frasier in a last minute attempt to keep Daphne from reaching the altar.

Lloyd served as co-executive producer and head writer of the show for its premiere season in 1993. He was named executive producer in 1994 where he remained for seven years, winning six Emmy Awards and becoming part of television history (the series became the first-ever to win five consecutive Emmy Awards for Outstanding Series -- comedy or drama).

Keenan joined the Frasier staff in 1994, after Cheers creators James Burrows and Glen and Les Charles asked him to create a new sitcom for their production company. The resulting pilot led to his writing post on Frasier. His first produced script for the series, entitled The Matchmaker, received an Emmy Award nomination, a GLAAD Media Award and the 1995 Writers Guild Award for Episodic Comedy. Keenan won an Emmy Award in 1996 for his part in writing the episode Moondance, and several accolades followed. During his six- season tenure on Frasier, he rose through the ranks from executive story editor, to co-producer, supervising producer, co-executive producer and ultimately, executive producer.

Richman joined Frasier in 1996; he won an Emmy and was nominated for a Humanitas Prize. He most recently created Charlie Lawrence, a half-hour comedy for CBS starring Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf. Prior to his stint on Frasier, Richman served as co-executive producer on Wings from 1994-1996.

Greenberg, who began on Frasier in 1995 as executive story editor, quickly rose through the ranks to supervising producer in 1998-1999. During his stint, Greenberg won an Emmy Award for the episode entitled Moondance in the 1995-1996 season. Additionally, in 1997, he received the WGA award for the episode entitled Frasier's Imaginary Friend.

Now entering its eleventh season, Frasier is one of the most-honored comedy series since the inception of television and awards for programming.

Frasier has received a record-setting five consecutive Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series and has made history by amassing more Emmys than any other show in television history, with 30. Grammer has won three Emmy Awards and has received twelve nominations to date for his portrayal of the same character on three different shows (Cheers, Wings and Frasier).

Not only has the series, its writers, directors and its all-star cast received a record number of 30 Emmy Awards, but they have also won a Golden Globe Award for Best Musical or Comedy, the 1994 Peabody Award, a People's Choice Award for Favorite New Comedy Series and an unprecedented three consecutive Television Critics Association Awards for Best Comedy Series. Additionally, the series has won multiple Viewers for Quality Television Awards and the coveted Humanitas Prize.

Grammer has told E! Entertainment the 2003-04 season will be the finale for "Frasier" - hardly a surprise since ratings have been steadily declining along with the comedy content.

The upcoming season will allow Grammer, who makes $1.6 million an episode, to set a TV record - 20 consecutive years of playing the same comic character - nine on "Cheers" and 11 on "Frasier."

Although "Frasier" has lost some of its comedy zing, the well-developed characters are still more fun to watch than the cardboard misfits that show up regularly on most new comedy series.

When did "Frasier" start losing its punch? When Niles married Daphne. Never should have happened.
