15 Fascinating IMDb Statistics About Your Favourite TV Shows

8. Frasier Is Considered Considerably Worse Than Friends And Seinfeld

The 90s - and specifically NBC - was home to three giants of the sitcom world, with Friends, Seinfeld, and Frasier all on the line-up. All three were critically adored , hugely popular, and remain three of the greatest sitcoms to ever grace the screen.

It fits, then, that Friends and Seinfeld are both rocking 8.9 on IMDb (and you can argue both should be even higher), but one of these things is not like the other.

Frasier, despite being the smartest of the bunch and every bit as rewatchable, has an 8.0 rating. It's still good, but given the series won the Emmy of Outstanding Comedy Series five years in a row and a then-record 37 overall, it's really not high enough.
