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.

No, he's the anti-chud.

I'm pretty sure he refused to participate in the new Frasier seasons because his diffirences with Kelsey Grammer.

First off Kelsey was inconsistent as to why for a while and wanted to say as little as possible. I smell bullshit.

Second with what little I know about Pierce...seems to me unlikely he'd be onboard with the maga choochoo train.

No.
