The Frasier reboot looks awesome
Bummer. It's only a parody. Might have watched the program, otherwise.
Yeah, I first saw that about two years ago. I think it's brilliant. Speaking as somebody who never watched a single episode of Cheers and maybe saw fewer than ten of Frasier.
Yeah, it wasn't that I disliked the shows (well, in the case of Cheers I didn't know enough about it like or dislike it). It's just that I was out of the country for most of their runs, and not interested in popular entertainment enough to try catching up when back. I did like the bits of Grammer I saw, and have enjoyed watching him in other roles.
Cheers was great, especially with Kirstie Alley, that's when I began watching.
It was the mix of odd characters in Cheers, and the charaxcter Frasier added comic variety in small doses. But a whole show of Frasier and his circle just drags for me.
Another brilliant comic character in Cheers was 'Cliff Clavin' the mail man: https://youtu.be/5mT_7fBjxTs
I found some examples of Kirstie Alley in top form: https://youtu.be/nCCZ_Etk6AM
"I don't believe this, and he seemed like such a nice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff"
She played an ambitious 1980s career-woman who kept messing up, while Sam/Ted Danson the playboy barman was always there to catch her as she fell. The way they used to write comedies.

ReplyDeleteI watched Cheers with fair regularity, and I saw fragments of a couple of Frasier episodes. Kelsey Grammer was brilliant in the role.

ReplyDeleteI think I pretty much totally quit watching network tv around the time Frasier began its run.
