{{See also|List of Frasier episodes}}

Psychiatrist [[Frasier Crane]] (Grammer) returns to his hometown of [[Seattle, Washington]] from [[Boston]], following the end of his marriage. His plans for a new life as a single man are challenged when he is obliged to take in his father, [[Martin Crane|Martin]] (Mahoney), a retired police detective who has mobility problems after being shot in the line of duty during a robbery.

After reluctantly taking his father in, Frasier and Martin conduct a series of interviews to hire a physical therapist and caregiver for his father. Martin, much to Frasier's dismay, is particularly keen on hiring a British caregiver as a live-in, and after a short squabble, the two agree to hire [[Daphne Moon]] (Leeves) for the position. Much of the series focuses on Frasier adjusting to living with his father, with whom he has little in common, and his constant annoyances with Martin's dog, [[Minor characters on Frasier#Eddie|Eddie]]. Frasier frequently spends time with his younger brother, [[Niles Crane|Niles]] (Pierce), a fellow psychiatrist, who becomes attracted to Daphne and eventually marries her.

Frasier hosts ''The Dr. Frasier Crane Show'', a call-in psychiatry show on talk radio station, KACL. Though they share few commonalities, Frasier's producer, [[Roz Doyle]] (Gilpin) becomes his friend in the series. She is depicted as both direct and sarcastic. Her somewhat superficial relationships with men are a frequent topic of conversation until she becomes pregnant with her daughter, Alice. Roz and Frasier share a professional respect and a wry sense of humor, and over time, the two become close friends. Frasier, along with the other characters in the series, often visits the local coffee shop, Café Nervosa, making it a frequent setting.

The Crane brothers, who have expensive tastes, intellectual interests, and high opinions of themselves, frequently clash with their father, Martin. The close relationship between the brothers is often tense, and their sibling rivalry intermittently results in chaos. For two psychiatrists who make a living solving other people's problems, however, they are often inept at dealing with each other's hangups. Other recurring themes in the series include Niles's relationship with his unseen first wife, [[Maris Crane|Maris]] (whom he later divorces); Frasier's relationship with his ex-wife, [[Lilith Sternin|Lilith]], who resides in Boston with their son, Frederick; Frasier's search for love; Martin's new life after retirement; and the various attempts by the two brothers to gain acceptance into Seattle high society.
