I dunno, it feels like it defrauds the audience.

After I saw the first two episodes of S5, I was like, wow, that's fucking crazy that this happened for real.

And then I read that it's bullshit and not real, and it's a letdown. Telling me it's real if it is actually real augments the viewing experience. Lying to me that a work of fiction is real, and then the lie is revealed midseason, kinda makes it suck.

So J. Paul Morosi "defrauded" Jays fans, I suppose?

I just watched the last episode of the Frasier reboot. How the hell is it possible to F up that show so badly? All the jokes were so telegraphed, it was like watching the Leafs hold a 3rd-period lead. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I tried to give it a chance. I loved the original series but this is just no good.

So forced. Terrible supporting cast. No chemistry.

Even having Lilith and Roz appear on the show was wasted. I can see why David Hyde Pearce turned this down.

I sat two tables away from Kelsey Grammar and his family at lunch yesterday. I really wanted to go over and say hi but I couldn’t get my client to stop talking and get up when it would’ve been organic to sort of bump into him leaving. Maybe the third or fourth time I’ve seen him out and about.
 
LOF, when’s the last time you got an eye exam, because that was actually Robert Herjavec

Kelsey Grammer needs to disappear into the B-movie vortex with all the other Trumpers like Kevin Sorbo, Dean Cain, Tim Allen, and Scott Baio.

I haven’t seen any of the Frasier reboot and don’t really intend to. But I assume it does a lot to reinforce just how much of the charm of the original series came from Niles, Daphne, Frasier’s dad and even Eddie the dog.
 
I’ve seen every episode of Cheers and love that show and the Frasier character in it. But I’ve never seen an episode of Frasier, just never felt the motivation.

Nothing revelatory about this statement but me and a buddy were talking about how hot Kirstie Alley was on Cheers….and got on to just how insane their casting director was. Every single role damn near, they just hit a home run.

Somehow I don't think the show would've been nearly as successful had this finalist for the role of Sam Malone got the part:

Dryer was good in the few episodes he did appear in the show (as a different character).

I've been casually rewatching reruns that they show here at 8 pm the last few months, and Kirstie started off as hot, but then gradually morphs into fat Kirstie a few seasons in. But the way she talks and cries and her delivery was really super underrated. She was a star on that show, way better than Shelly Long.

Ted Danson is an all-time great sit com guy.

The funny thing about Danson on Cheers is the way that they portray him as the stud of all studs. I mean, I like him, but girls falling all over themselves to get at him requires suspension of belief the same way that James Bond basically runs through hails of bullets and pretty much never gets shot. You just buy into it as part of the experience, but it's comical.

I don't know... Good looking guy, local celebrity/athlete. Tons of confidence. I don't think it takes a ton of suspension of disbelief.
