Frasier is great because he and Niles are such extraordinarily awful people most of the time. It's like Always Sunny with rich socialites and sherry instead of undereducated poor people and beer.

I only ever watched frasier re-runs so I probably saw <50% of the episodes but is the show actually good enough to do a rewatch my time is literally worthless if that is a factor in your determination, thank you.

cool new Polack jokes posted:That's the mid-Atlantic accent What does mid-Atlantic entail? Because I've lived my whole life on the east coast and never heard anyone speak like that  e: oh ok Wikipedia posted:Spoken mostly in the early twentieth century, it is not a vernacular American accent native to any location, but an affected set of speech patterns whose "chief quality was that no Americans actually spoke it unless educated to do so". The accent is, therefore, best associated with the American upper class, theater, and film industry of the 1930s and 1940s, largely taught in private independent preparatory schools especially in the American Northeast and in acting schools.The accent's overall usage sharply declined following World War II. so literally "English for people who think a British accent indicates class/wealth/education" lol, I guess it makes perfect sense that Frasier and Niles sound like Americans badly performing Shakespeare e: I wonder if either Martin or more appropriately Daphne ever made fun of their accent/vocabulary. Martin would be more likely to take the piss, but I imagine that any actual Brit would crack up hearing that accent IRL for the first time.

Having kept either Law & Order: SVU, Cops/Jail/Gangland or Bar Rescue on as background TV noise for so long I'm pretty sure I've seen every episode of all of them, Frasier is a much more pleasant choice

No loving around with a stupid opening theme song. Just a little music sting over the Seattle skyline. Kelsey Grammer does have a great voice so there's that. I don't think I could listen to Taffer talk without seeing what he's gesticulating to. "THIS IS A DISGRACE!!!" What's a disgrace?? "THAT'S SOMEBODY'S DAUGHTER" Who??

It's John Mahoney, doing a (more) American accent, imitating someone with an Essex accent who's doing a Manchester accent.

As a Brit, what drives me the point of saying 'tut!' is that none of those 5 people have an accent that is even vaguely like a British accent. Even Daphne, despite being British with a normal accent in real life, speaks with something from the Dick Van Dyke school of acting.
