Martin (John Mahoney) lands a job as a night-shift security guard, while Niles (David Hyde Pierece) and Daphne (Jane Leeves) must endure an overseas visit from her conniving mother Gertrude and lecherous brother Simon. And Roz (Peri Gilpin) is swept off her feet by a charming and handsome new boyfriend, but is less than thrilled with his career choice: he’s a garbageman! Enjoy unending laughs — as well as Frasier’s reunion with some of his pals from Cheers in Boston — with ‘Frasier: The Ninth Season’!”

Other Info:
Widescreen
Stereo Sound
Running Time: 120 Minutes

Synopsis:
The following is from the official DVD description:

“One of the most controversial men of his age, Alexander Hamilton was a gifted statesman brought down by the fatal flaws of stubbornness, extreme candor and arrogance. His life and career were marked by a stunning rise to power, scandal and tragedy. He had one of the most notorious love affairs of any public figure in American history and met his death in a startling act of political violence — the famous duel with Aaron Burr. But his contributions as a statesman survive. As first Secretary of the Treasury during the tumultuous early years of the republic, Hamilton led the transformation of the young country into a commercial and industrial powerhouse. He was the one founder who had a vision, not of what America was, but of what it could become. This episode tells the story of the underappreciated genius who laid the groundwork for the nation’s modern economy — including the banking system, Wall Street and an “opportunity society” in which talent and hard work, not birth, determined success.”

CS Comment:
Here’s a great DVD for history buffs and any high school student needing to do a report on Alexander Hamilton.
