Totally believe you. Best sitcom ever
on TV, strong and funny and clever
writing till the end. I'm sure it went
right over the heads of many who saw
it. Probably for the best that you never
watched.


I was 5 years old when it started and 15 when it ended. Why would a child give a crap about Frasier?

Never seen an episode of Fraiser in my life.

I don't think you missed much. I was shocked it was such a hit. I guess it just isn't my style.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

I also did not get it
Occasionally I would watch a min or 2 surfing channels.
Hear a couple dumb jokes and move on.
I doubt I have seen an entire episode from start to finish
I found Cheers funny. Frazier was dumb

A lot of people thought it would be just like "Cheers." But time moves on. The only real relation to "Cheers" was the same actor and character. Little else matched up.

See? You proved my point splendidly..

Queen Elizabeth has been a household name since at least 1952, and perhaps since her birth in 1926. Is there any living celebrity on this planet who has been world-famous longer than her?
