Skyline
At the beginning of every episode, the Seattle skyline draws itself and the word "Frasier" appears, creating the logo that can be seen right at the top left hand corner of this page, next to the word "Goodnight" in the title.
The word "Frasier" is a different colour according to what season the episode is from. The colours are:
Season: 1 Blue 2 Red 3 Dark Green 4 Purple 5 Yellow 6 Brown 7 Orange 8 Light Green 9 Light Brown 10 Silver 11 Gold.
After that a short piece of animation is usually shown, although in a few episodes nothing happens. There are 19 different animations altogether. Each is listed below.
Note: To save space episodes are referred to by their numbers rather than their full names.
