Editing Frasier (section)

=== Filming ===
The cast had an unusual amount of freedom to suggest changes to the script. Grammer used an acting method he called "requisite disrespect" and did not rehearse with the others, instead learning and rehearsing his lines once just before filming each scene in front of a live [[studio audience]]. Although effective, the system often caused panic among guest stars.<ref>{{Cite web |first=Andrea |last=Francese |date=2021-07-30 |title='Frasier': Kelsey Grammer's Acting Method Sent Guest Stars Into a Panic |url=https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/frasier-kelsey-grammers-acting-method-sent-guest-stars-panic.html/ |access-date=2022-06-07 |website=Showbiz Cheat Sheet |language=en-US |archive-date=June 7, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220607203801/https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/frasier-kelsey-grammers-acting-method-sent-guest-stars-panic.html/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 1996, Grammer's recurrent alcoholism led to a car accident. The cast and crew performed an [[intervention (counseling)|intervention]] that persuaded him to enter the [[Betty Ford Center]], delaying production for a month.<ref name="allinthefamily" />

Only one episode, "[[The 1000th Show]]", was filmed in Seattle.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tv.com/frasier/the-100th-show/episode/17052/summary.html|title=Frasier–Season 5, Episode 5: The 1000th Show–TV.com|publisher=CBS Interactive|work=TV.com|access-date=June 15, 2015|archive-date=April 16, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090416080112/http://www.tv.com/frasier/the-100th-show/episode/17052/summary.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> As with ''Cheers'', most episodes were filmed on Stage 25, [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount Studios]],<ref name="allinthefamily" /> or at various locations in and around Los Angeles.

Filming was briefly disrupted by the [[September 11 attacks]], during which David Angell was killed on board [[American Airlines Flight 11]] while returning to California along with his wife Lynn. The cast and crew were devastated by their deaths, but Kelsey Grammer was concerned about the public perception of their grief in the context of a national tragedy, and so they did not extensively discuss Angell in the news after the attacks. Peri Gilpin later recalled that, after they had consistently avoided discussing the subject for awhile, the cast sat down on the set of Frasier's apartment and talked about their memories of the Angells for several hours, after which she felt significantly better.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGBGVwFBxtQ&t=367s | title=Peri Gilpin: Where I Was on 9 11 | website=[[YouTube]] | date=July 24, 2021 }}</ref>
