There was an episode where some punk teen started talking poo poo about Frasier's Freud bust and it got him to spend his show ranting about his continued relevance. I've only seen each episode maybe thrice or so so I can't pull too many other specific memories but as a smart show written signposted for the regular smart, I think that's emblematic

Surely top 3 if not 5.

I watched the condo board episode about the door knocker yesterday, that was quite the episode as well. I always think about the casting calls that must go out for the likes of a Mrs. Langer

They're cut in at the worst parts, too. Not the natural commercial breaks. Truly, we did not know what we had with unlimited Frasier on Netflix. It was a good bunch of years

Probably never. CBS all access is still a thing after all. Every media producer wants to be the next Netflix but few realize they don't have the content to justify a standalone subscription.

So apparently Kelsey Grammer's daughter Spencer (of Rick & Morty) was attacked at a restaurant by a man with a knife:

Pillowfights with Dominican mothers.
"The actor daughter of Frasier star Kelsey Grammer, who voices Summer on the cult animated series Rick & Morty"

It's the second sentence of the article. They ID her by her more famous father first then they ID her by her most known credit. Or am I wildly misunderstanding your post?

I only looked at it briefly in which I believe the bolded line at the top only mentioned her show. I dare not read any further and risk being drawn into the calamity that is the Grammer curse

Spicy take but.

Rick and Morty, in its newest incarnations, still has that ridiculous edge but they outright call out Rick as toxic and show how it leaves him disadvantaged and alone. There are a lot of women on the writing team, and it's made some very good political standpoints re: gender, politics, etc. (that the fanbase has completely ignored, :rip:)

The fanbase is toxic as hell, unfortunately. Too many people saw Rick as someone to be emulated, and I think that made Harmon back off and re-analyse how they wrote Rick and how they treated him as a character.

It's... not terrible.

i very much agree with this but i still haven't seen most stuff past season 3 and the elon musk worship in the heist episode was super cringey

It's embarrassing that this has to be said at all, but goons will always get giddy about jumping on hate bandwagons.

That being said, Spencer Grammer is great on R&M and I hope nothing else Grammeresque happens to her.

Today I found out that the sitcom Modern Family has a lot of frasier pedigree, which explains why at least one episode a season's a pretty good farce and the episodes with some of the more melodramatic scenes do land pretty well

It is indeed very good, on the yardstick being other sitcoms in non-subscription services. Some of the child actors grew up to be less-than great at acting, so that might irritate you on the later seasons, though.

And it gives the alternative universe Al Bundy a happy life, where he ditched the redheaded bimbo after high school, went to college and found a business in the closet industries.

EDIT: In the otherwise pretty forgettable sitcom 8 Simple Rules (besides John Ritter dying after the season 1 and giving Kaley Cuoco her first big exposure role) had a stroke of genius in the last season when in the episode "Old Flame" Ed O'Neill was cast as the high school boyfriend who never got around to do anything meaningful after breaking up with the main character played by Katey Sagal.

They add more child actors at the end as Manny leaves :(

Also they lean really, really, REALLY hard into "the nerdy geek girl with huge boobs discovers she has a sex drive"
