Yeah based on that trailer, ugh. You need Niles there. The way the play off of each other makes the whole thing work. With only Fraiser, it's just cringy.

I dunno - it looked fine and if they can flesh out the character interaction a bit more it might work. Plus I have a British neighbor that is exactly like Frasier and I hope I will find some material to use on him.Comment

I mean it looks a bit formulaic but I kind of dug the conceit. Frasier is now basically the douchey version of Martin and Frederick is the (not douchey) version of him. They don't have a relationship because of their differences and Frasier is trying to change that for some reason.
I like the idea that Frasier is a teacher, makes sense as a job at his age and he has age appropriate friends that are enough like him that it seems to fit.
The show will likely not be as good as the original, but people forget that the idea of a Frasier spinoff in the first place was not something that was met with "OMG THAT IS PERFECT!!!"so it might be better than the trailer makes it seem. Of all the characters from Cheers to get a spinoff Frasier seemed like the least likely. Funny part is one of the only reasons it happened and worked out the way it did was because of Frasier showing up on the show Wings. He enjoyed it so much that he said he wanted to do something with the creators after Cheers is done and the rest is history. It is why Frasier is so different than Cheers, which is also why it works so well."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

I'm not defending Maher or Barrymore, but it is not black and white how talk shows are covered under the WGA and it is disingenuous to pretend that many of the people we applaud now didn't do the same thing in 2008. Conan, Leno, Letterman, Stewart, Colbert, Ferguson and Maher all went back to work without writers in the last WGA strike in 2008.
The rules governing talk shows are murky and there are other considerations. Conan went back (and I assume the others) for much the same reason Barrymore was going to...other people who work on the show not in the WGA who will be out of work. Not exactly fair to them to take money out of their pockets because the writers are on strike.
Ironically last time Maher was one of the last to come back (probably due to normal schedule) now he is one of the first. He won't have to worry about ayer the strike cause no writer will want to work with him after the crap he spewed.Last edited by Handyman; 09-18-2023, 11:28 AM."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Who is applauding them?Originally posted by Handyman View Post
That's whataboutism.
I'm not calling Maher a strikebreaker -- I am aware talk show hosts are not in the WGA (although with Maher it is murkier, because apparently he does still have writing credits on the show). I'm saying he didn't respect the picket line. Part of supporting labor is not to cross the line even when it's not your line. That is kind of the entire point of a labor movement: the recognition that management cuts us up into slices and dominates us that way, and organization and a united front are our strongest weapon to protect what little we have. I protect you today, you protect me tomorrow.
They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin'. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. Y'know, it's kinda like ol' squares in a battle like, uh, you see in a calendar, like the Battle of Waterloo, and the idea was, shark comes to the nearest man and that man, he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin', and sometimes the shark'd go away. Sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. Y'know the thing about a shark, he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin', until he bites ya. And those black eyes roll over white, and then... oh, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin', the ocean turns red, and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they rip you to pieces.Last edited by Kepler; 09-18-2023, 11:40 AM.Cornell University
