The original Frasier produced 264 episodes across 11 seasons.
The NBC sitcom premiered on September 16, 1993, and ended on May 13, 2004. It followed psychiatrist Frasier Crane after his move from Boston back to Seattle, where he became the host of a radio call-in show. The series was created by David Angell, Peter Casey, and David Lee as a spin-off of Cheers.
Its 264-episode total includes the regular episodes broadcast during the original 11-season run. The number is easy to misremember because some episodes were presented as two-part stories, while others used unusual formats, flashbacks, or holiday settings. Episode counts can also differ when listings count multi-part broadcasts differently, but 264 is the standard total for the original series.
The show’s principal cast included Kelsey Grammer, Jane Leeves, David Hyde Pierce, Peri Gilpin, and John Mahoney. It concluded with “Goodnight, Seattle,” though the Frasier character later returned in a separate revival series. That newer production is not part of the original show’s 264-episode count.
