I just watched the first two seasons of Fraisier, but as far as I watched and I known, Niles was the best character of the series. I watched a couple of episodes of the Frasier's revival but without him it felt empty. Going to give it a try once os available on the pirate network.

The dad was also great.

I think the consensus is that Niles is the funniest character on the show, indeed. He was the comic relief to an otherwise not that funny show.

Niles is perhaps the best 90s sitcom character, period.

I think David Hyde Pierce holds the record for the most consecutive Emmy nominations. Eleven nominations for Best Supporting Actor in a row. Every year the show was on air, he was nominated (and deserved it).

Don't bother with the reboot (Pierce is not in it), just finish watching the rest of the original series. It's fantastic.
