Fraiser is basically The Big Bang Theory but with fancy people instead of nerds. Well it's quite a bit more tolerable than BBT too but you get my point "OOOOH NO MY WINE WAS CORKED" *pushes 'MADE A VERY FUNNY JOKE' button on the laugh track machine* Jose Oquendo posted:It's a testament to his acting ability that John Mahoney, one of the gayest dudes in Hollywood played the straightest character on the show. hes basically asexual; apparently he had colon cancer and have a colostomy bag so he doesn't really have relationships anymore. Dan Butler and David Hyde Pierce are both pretty flaming and proud though. Tumble fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Mar 20, 2017 |

Kelp Me! posted:yeah I think I remember something from like 2012 before every cable provider offered on-demand episodes of everything Frasier is a great "I'm cooking for myself but I don't want to feel alone so I'll put it on in the background to pretend I have people that would tolerate me giving them a free meal" show. Seinfeld is good for that too but it's not streaming anywhere

food court bailiff posted:Yeah I think he's well spoken but venomously right wing, and a little psycho. yea he's had a pretty rough life as far as family stuff goes so I don't blame him for being a bit crazy he's been vocally conservative forever, but he is apparently pro gay marriage and more talks about the small government and lower taxes side of conservatism more than he does the really exclusionary/Christian side, but he is still a capital 'R' Republican. numberoneposter posted:kelsey grammar is just a fun actor to watch even if you dont like frasier but yea he's the poo poo anyways, i can't think of a role he's done that i haven't thought was great Tumble fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Mar 23, 2017 |

lol and that's not even talking about the sweet sweet residual money the actors get every time an episode plays somewhere if you're on a popular TV show that goes a bunch of seasons, you get fat paid for year and year and years after it's done

Solice Kirsk posted:With her fetching little under bite and her blousing spandex? i always thought them being snubbed at restaurants was silly; most restaurants aren't really that hard to get into, you just have to make reservations kinda far in advance. Especially Seattle in the 90's - sure it's a nice city but it's not exactly Manhattan.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Frasier made bank working in private practice in Boston and he parleyed that into some high risk high yield investments which, even after a costly divorce, he was able to live comfortably off, combined with his various income streams from being a locally famous radio psychiatrist in Seattle, up till whenever the plot of the show needed him to need money. Knowing this timeline helped me get laid by winning at trivia. The question tried to trick us: "This long-running sitcom featured a psychiatrist; a married Dr. Crane." I'm not quite remembering the question, but it was designed to trick you into answering "Fraiser" with the details unless you keyed into the 'married' part. There were only a couple other teams that got it right and we ended up winning a few bar coupons, which I used to buy our group more drinks and a bunch of snacks and it made my date go very well.

Carpet posted:but he then brings his father in to help with psycho-analysing the criminals... oh and his dad always tries to empathize with the really bad dudes and sometimes ends up getting super connected to obvious scumbags. Fraiser: "Freddy. Look at this man, don't you think he's obviously hurting both inside, and out? Why do you think he's acting out so violently? He wants to feel comforted." Freddy: "Dad he is suspected to have sexually assaulted numerous women and it seems like it's going to be open and shut." Fraiser: "Don't deny this man a last act of dignity before he goes into the system that will break him even more. Even a simple act of giving him some coffee could make a world of difference in his treatment." Freddy: "I don't know..." Frasier: "I promise you, give this man some coffee and he'll remember this moment later on. It will be a turning point." *The suspected rapist immediately throws the coffee at Freddy, scalding him.*

Inexplicable Humblebrag posted:in le cigar volant, frasier books the table for Dr Pleasure Dinosaur lol i'm actually watching "Dinner at Eight" (isn't there another episode where they actually do go there?) and one of my favorite jokes isn't actually a joke: when they end going to the steakhouse they're all dismissive at the fact it used to be a saw mill, but nowadays if you opened a steakhouse in a retrofitted saw mill it would be insanely loving baller. also the steaks they were serving there looked like really big, good steaks - they'd be expensive as hell today. Martin even mentions they're from good beef too. that steakhouse would be trendy as hell Tumble fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Oct 31, 2017 |

Bust Rodd posted:And apparently the mid to late 90s were this halcyon era where a dude makes like 100k a year as a radio personality working 4 hours a day with benefits and vacation time he's a Harvard educated psychiatrist who ran a successful private practice for ten years in Boston, and then started a radio show in Seattle. He was probably rich as gently caress before he even moved to Seattle. He's like the only sitcom character whose lifestyle is justified.

Bust Rodd posted:Yeah but this whole “marrying one of his patients” thing is like dramatically calling Frazier’s psychiatry practice into question and also the idea that Frazier and Lilith were depicted as in-Love or happy is such a mind gently caress that might have to watch Cheers... i think it depends on the nature of the relationship and if she was a former or a current patient. like if she were being treated for severe trauma related to abuse then he could never date her, but if she were just seeing him to get prescribed prozac and meeting with him once a month for a little while, after a couple of years they could enter into a relationship

datajugend posted:idunno, jerry has a pretty small and basic apartment and its usually the same for the rest of the people in that show, jerry could have had a fireplace and garden tho. frasier is the only one with a "realistic" nice big apartment imo, niles apartment is so massive and convoluted that its just a parody of fancy apartments, didnt he have 3 stories and like a million libraries and irrc roz lives in a studio apartment. i remember very little about how i met your mother. lol Jerry's apartment was not small and basic from an NYC point of view it was a dope-as-hell one bedroom by basically any apartment standards (for the nineties; it would be dated these days but you could re-do it pretty easily) and by NYC standards it was spatial and luxurious Tumble fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Nov 18, 2017 |

WampaLord posted:Jerry was a successful comedian though, so he could afford it. He could afford to buy his dad a new Cadillac, he clearly wasn't hurting for money. The real mystery is how Kramer can afford to be his neighbor, but you know, he's Kramer, he figured something out I'm sure. oh for sure, i'm not saying he wouldn't be able to afford it i'm just saying he had a really nice apartment kramer just came from money someway or another. i've known a few dudes kind of like him - one of them was weird dude in his 40s in SF who was the son of a movie producer. he always wanted to hang out and do drugs and then go into his hottub afterwards and you'd think he was pervy and was trying to use it to get laid but nope, dude just loved being on drugs in the hottub

Bust Rodd posted:Well NYC has a lot of breadth in it's real estate, but in general, yes, Jerry's apartment by today's standards would be Between $1,800-$2,400 a month in a lot of the city, and something that big for one person wouldn't exist in the rest of the city. it's a pretty spacey 1br, it's probably in the $3500 range tbh but they do exist in NYC, it's where Wall Street is after all.

Dyna Soar posted:Frasiers apartment is a nightmare of wasted space. His kitchen is loving tiny compared to the vestibule well its a set but architects have done renders of it based on what a "real" apartment with similar dimensions would look like.  his pad is baller as hell, dope kitchen too. also he owns the space so he can pretty much do whatever he wants with it

Inescapable Duck posted:Kinda funny given iirc, that was a folksy steak place, which would now be trendy as all hell. Frasier and Niles were always somehow more old-fashioned than Martin in being snobby, before wealthy people started desperately trying to be relevant rather than exclusive. I already made that observation earlier in this thread dammit! But yea, it's not even that the restaurant is trying to be folksy that would make it insanely trendy in today's world, it's that it's in a re-purposed sawmill. That would be an insanely awesome place to put a steakhouse today.
