Niles was the best character on the show, but the beauty of the entire show was the intelligent writing. It was the best written show ever. Never dumbed down, always smart, classy and funny. Seen every episode more times than I’d like to admit.

My favorite Niles moment was when Roz jokingly said that she was marrying Martin. Niles said, "I'll be a son of a bitch."

Niles telling Fraiser:
One of my patients had a rather amusing Freudian Slip. Uh, he was having dinner with his wife and he meant to say, "Pass the salt, " but instead he said, "You've ruined my life you blood-sucking shrew."

Niles was, is, and always will be my favorite character in this show but I loved them all. Best sitcom ever 😊

[DaLucster]

Frasier and Niles were one of the best comedic duos I’ve ever watched. They both flattered each other’s strengths so well, as well as the rest of the cast being hilarious in their own right. This show is a gem.

I agree that Niles was the funniest character of all. He stole every scene he was in. Absolutely brilliant.

[arizonanative]

Niles is a brilliant physical comedian. My favorite scene is Niles and the flaming pants! Amazing episode. Miss this show so much.

I've always marveled at how perfect Pierce was in being cast as the younger brother to Grammer's character. His acting and his physical likeness is SO convincing.
Very few other sibling parts have ever been physically cast so well!

[cosmoplakat]

Nobody can ever best the scene where Niles irons his pants. How many other shows have had over six minutes of a near-wordless one-character + dog scene that's absolutely hilarious?

[GH-SO]

Niles was my favorite but this was a great cast. They all made each other better.

[amihill]

David Hyde Pierce is an amazing actor and one of my all-time favorites

[EnglishWithMax]

God this brings back memories .
I'm a fan of friends also but Frasier is just an incredible show with the most entertaining writing and brilliant casting.

[carolwilkins]

I only started watching Frasier during lockdown in UK and it's the funniest sitcom ever, I'm a little bit in love with Niles 😂😂

[MS-lgyr]

Such a great show. Excellent writing, characters and superb acting. David Hyde Pierce was perfection in the role of Niles!

[jackieb]

i cant get enough of niles ....frasier and the whole gang...just the best sitcom EVER

[vectorm]

Niles: I'm all hot .... and foamy ....
Martin: My Hot and Foamy must have blown up!!!
Daphne: He was a detective, you know.

[Panwere]

David Hyde Pierce was the crown jewel of brilliant casting for this show! I will forever love how he made Niles Crane every bit the match for Frasier!!

[sandraklein]

Two of my favorite Niles episodes were #1, "Three Valentine's", Niles was preparing dinner at Fraziers and he noticed that the crease in his pants wasn't correctly pressed. He proceeded to iron out the crease and everything went downhill from there. My 2nd favorite was when Frazier pretended to be Jewish for his new Jewish girlfriends Mother. Again; Niles nailed it. His timing was always spot on. Niles could have easily had his own show. It amazed me watching someone so comical, yet never speaking one word!

[evandegenfelder]

I ADORE Frasier, we watch one episode every night and then start all over again when we get through the whole series. David Hyde Pierce has always been a genius at physical comedy, pure genius. He's my favorite character. And even though our kids laugh at us for watching so much, I'm not embarrassed at all. It was/is sharp, funny, timely with the best writing of ANY sitcom.
