Part of how TV sitcoms retain their longevity is their "fantasy factor" for audiences...male audiences in the main, even when the comedy might tilt to the women.
Seinfeld, George, and Kramer all landed attractive women on Seinfeld. Seinfeld himself made sense -- he was a celebrity , bright and not bad looking. But GEORGE? Kramer had a haywire macho aggressiveness to him, but not so much to do as well as he did.
Still...a fantasy.
Frasier covered all sorts of bases in allow Frasier himself, Niles(with Daphne) and Martin(an ex-cop after all -- a tough guy) to land women ostensibly out of their league. Except Frasier and Niles were established as near-wealthy(always attractive to an attractive female) and Martin had a pension.
