Eh, Frasier is definitely a narcissist, but I wouldn't go that far. He means well, but typically only if it also benefits him. That tends to be most protagonists in sitcoms though. Frasier was a static character and didn't really grow as the show went on. Compare that with Niles who grows throughout the show after losing everything. Niles at least realizes being rich isn't important if you're not happy.
