Frasier

[Bazile]

In the last ever episode of the sitcom - when the credits are rolling , photos are displayed of several people .

One of them is Helen Mirren .
Anyone know why the photographs were displayed as part of the credits ?

[Jennykenny]

When Frasier is talking to people on his radio show, it’s often someone famous.

[Jennykenny]

And if you watch the credits roll on the current series on tv, you’ll see well known names.

I agree, it's to do with the callers, as outlined in this old report.

My favourite US sitcom

[albaqwerty]

''Very funny sitcom''

I agree and if you're new to watching it I will not say a word about my favourite episode.
Utterly brilliant :-D

[Bazile]

alba
I've been watching it now for a while on C4 , in the mornings .

Go on - which is your favourite ? - lets see if i've seen it yet

[albaqwerty]

Don't want to upset anyone, but it's the Valentine Day one.
Niles' preparations for his date are an absolute hoot.
Great performance from him.

Did you hear the sad news about the actor who plays their Dad?

[Bazile]

I don't think i've seen that one yet .

Yes it was sad news of his death .
The expressions on his face in certain situations just made you laugh

[jennyjoan]

I too am enjoying the re-runs of Frasier, all brilliant actors and singers into the bargain.

It did go on for 10 years but I hadn't seen half of them.

I record them in the morning then watch them at night.

[albaqwerty]

Brilliant cast and some excellent script-writing.

One or 2 episodes were a bit dodgy, but on the whole a cracking watch.

[Arksided]

Spin-off shows always seem a bit dodgy to me with little success, Happy days been one of the few exceptions. I used to love Cheers and and IMO Frasier bettered it. Brilliant show.

[Hopkirk]

I loved Cheers, but as Frasier wasn't my favourite character by any means, I never watched it.

[albaqwerty]

you'll never have seen the Cauli Cheese episode then Hoppy? :-)

It was/is a good sitcom, Frasier 's character was expanded quite a bit Hoppy (well, obviously - silly me!!) I'd give it a whirl for a few episodes tho x

[Bazile]

Arksided - what was Happy days, a spin off , of ?

[Arksided]

A few successful show spun-off from Happy days:
Laverne & Shirley, Blansky's Beauties, Mork & Mindy, Out of the Blue, Joanie Loves Chachi... from wiki.

[Hopkirk]

Cauli cheese? I suddenly sit up.

[Bazile]

I remember sprinting home from school ( on a wednesday i think it was ) to watch Happy Days .

I'll always remember the episode where the fonz is talking to Richie Cunningham . They are standing under a tree - there are birds tweeting away in the tree so they couldn't hear each other properly

The fonz utters his ' hey ' - clicks his fingers and the birds stopped tweeting instantly - lol
