Cheers looked pretty bad but I think Ted Dansen is funny as gently caress nowadays, I wish Bored to Death was just about his character and not loving Jason Schwartzmann Also ppst Roz pics already

I mean it was pretty obvious that Frasier and Niles were Larry David-style misanthropes and you were supposed to laugh at how clueless they are despite being all sophisticated I liked the one where they got banned from their favorite store for complaining about the price of dog food or whatever Also Brian Cox as Daphne's father was great, always fun to hear him speak in his natural accent e: o yah Robbie Coltrane as Daphne's brother was hilarious too

I like the repeated conversations explaining how Bulldog is hypermasculine because he's actually gayer than David Hyde Pierce and is projecting his insecurities

food court bailiff posted:Kelsey Grammar had raging problems with alcoholism while recording several seasons of this show. I hope he demanded that every bottle of wine he handled/mentioned actually be that real wine I was watching an episode last night and looked up the wine him and Niles opened and drank and it's like $450 a bottle lol

SilvergunSuperman posted:I didn't exactly need a reason to rewatch this series, but you've provided one, friend. ah crap now I need to have an IMDB window open every time I watch Frasier (the channel that shows it here does the "squeeze the credits all tiny and speed em up so we can plug the next show in the main part of the screen" thing)

I like that episode of the Simpsons where Sideshow Bob's brother shows up and it's David Hyde Pierce basically doing Niles There are at least two explicit Frasier references that I can think of off the top of my head in there, aside from the general snooty banter between them the whole episode There's also an episode of 30 Rock where Kelsey Grammar helps set up an elaborate con job that involves fake cakes for the Frasier Reunion Party, worth watching in general but specifically to hear him angrily threaten to throw some tossed salad and scrambled eggs at someone Snow Cone Capone fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Mar 21, 2017 |

Yeah that's one, the other is when Bart jumps on him and says "Guess who?" he says "Maris?" which I guess is a double Frasier joke because you never actually see her on that show They also do one of the title cards midway through: '"Frasier" is a hit show on the NBC television network' with the jazzy music going

I just watched the episode where Frasier gets sick and Niles ends up being threateningly good at hosting the radio show, so Frasier busts in and does a fever-ridden ridiculous show and later doesn't remember it was pretty funny, would watch again

Bogus Adventure posted:Admittedly, Janitor is hilarious. However, not even the best episode of Scrubs can carry one of Frasier's dirty Pierre Cardin socks... Neil Flynn ad-libbed most of his dialogue so the Janitor is basically the one character you can praise without praising the show itself lol

hard counter posted:yeah even jane leeves walked away with a cool 20+ mill from frasier before residuals for essentially 11 seasons of telling bizarre stories about growing up in the UK The fact that she has like 4 brothers and both parents and every one of them has a completely different accent must drive actual Brits watching the show insane. When I was a kid I wondered why Frasier and Niles were Americans but spoke with British accents

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.

I don't even remember her TBH which just tells me I need to watch more Frasier there's a really twee TV station here (Cosi?) that plays 4 episodes straight every night which is p cool, the downside is they play an ad for Shriner's Children Hospital literally every commercial break, so I get to hear a kid with no arms tell me how he can write his name with his feet 4 times an hour, it's soul-crushing in a Melissa Etheridge ASPCA commercial kind of way On the plus side after Frasier they do an hour of the A-Team which is great if I'm really blazed

Cosmik Slop posted:My vote for worst loving episode of the whole series. Frasier had been getting really shouty and weird that whole season, but in this one he acted so hysterically stupid I wondered if they were building up to the big plot twist that he'd developed a brain tumor or a meth habit. I mean the final episode does have him move to Chicago, and the show Boss was about Kelsey Grammer as the mayor of Chicago who also is dying of a degenerative neurological disease...

Calaveron posted:Martin's still alive because he's tough as piss and now his constant companion is a fresh new russel terrier and Roz and Bulldog are divorced Wait, did Roz and Bulldog really end up getting married? I thought there was like a whole episode devoted to the fact that it's in fact Bulldog who's the gay guy at the station and not Gil, and that he's so hyper-masculine as a compensating measure or whatever.

Bulldog and Martin were surprising when I learned about them, Bulldog is married to one of the producers of the show even

Drunk Nerds posted:Been rewatching. Most of the stuff holds up, the stuff that doesn't is hilariously inappropriate for 2017, and then there's the stuff where I'm not sure it ever was appropriate I think the fact that some of the humor is inappropriate for today just adds to it. It helps that censors were stricter back then, so there's some really dirty jokes that are wrapped in really elaborate clean deliveries, and I love it. It's like how the first Shrek movie had a bunch of jokes that had pretty R-rated implications or double-entendres, but they also worked perfectly as kids' jokes. Nowadays I feel like that stuff is either shoehorned in a lot more blatantly, or in the case of network TV it's just straight-up raunchy and loses some of the impact.

Strictly speaking it's from the 30 Rock episode where Kelsey plays himself scamming Carvel out of free ice cream cakes, but "I should throw some tossed salad and scrambled eggs at you" gets daily use in my household.
