Help

Yeah, having a stalker isn’t nice but mine wasn’t as mad as Martha, I don’t think ! 

Absolutely. I just couldn’t see why he kept going back to him. 

I know he is. And the real life Martha has been outed and is proceeding to try and take him and Netflix to court ! 

They’re supposed to be making another series. 

I’m waiting for the new series of ‘ The Boys ‘ on Amazon  

My Dad watches that. 

His friends were on the last series; they sold him some cattle. 

Anybody watched Frasier…..a 1990’s comedy based around a radio psychologist in Seattle. There are a gazzillion episodes with some delightful whimsy. Each episode is only 20 minutes, a perfect night cap, sending you to bed with a chuckle.

I think your dad would enjoy it becs.

My brother loved Frasier. I think Mum has watched some of it. 

The screen  writer manages to capture a complete plot in 20 minutes, with some great characters, including a brilliant dog and an English health care worker. The dad is an injured cop as down to earth as you’d expect…..and his two sons are snobbish psychologists. The interplay is consistently funny.

I’ve seen some of Frasier. It was very well written and acted, I thought. 

I used to really love shows like ‘ Brass Eye ‘ and ‘ The Day Today ‘. Not to everyone’s taste I know. 

Yeah, all good, Saffex  

I still watch the Frasier repeats.... brilliant

Don't forget "Cheers" guys .... fantastic series, and bloody hilarious, especially Woody, Cliff and Norm

Those Golden Girls were hilarious .... Ole Blanch....

We getting old guys.....

This still kills me...

The scene at 3:10... guitar at the office. It may be the best layering of cringe ever 

We clearly don't all have the same tastes.

Frasier isn't a bad show but it's not particularly good. I do like the character Niles and the whole relationship with Maris. We never ever see Maris but she's a great character all the same. We know from Niles' references that she's a lot wealthier than him, she's spoilt, domineering and neurotic. The fact that her character is so well developed without us ever seeing her is one of the redeeming features of an otherwise rather average show.

Frasier himself is okay but probably not as funny as the original Frasier when he appeared in Cheers, but the supporting characters like Roz, Daphne and Martin are a bit weak.

Cheers was a great show in it's day . . . I particularly liked the Cliff Clavin character . . . but it hasn't aged well. It used to me my favourite show in its day but when I watch the re-runs many years later I find myself wondering why I liked it so much. Seinfeld is the opposite. When I watch re-runs I find it just as relevant, witty and clever. For me Seinfeld is the best of the American TV comedy series.

I also liked Two and a Half Men but like many others who've mentioned it on this thread, I stopped watching it soon after Charlie Sheen got canned.

Fawlty Towers is probably the funniest TV series I've ever watched and it doesn't seem to age even though it's very old and out of date. I just wish they'd made more of them.

They’re doing a theatre show of ‘Fawlty Towers ‘ now. 

Manuel ... " I Know Nooothing"

Agree, best comedy show ever

The Fawlty Towers scene that gets me chuckling even when I think about it is when a difficult guest is complaining about the view and Basil asks her what she expects to see from a hotel in Torquay . . . 

This is my favorite:

Tech -challenged old fossil tries to post a Youtube link and only succeeds in unwittingky changing his name.

LMAO!

John Cleese has been having stem cell therapy to counteract the effects of ageing…..obviously they’re not working, Saffex !! 

Glad you think we’re good at something, Plum . 

I do think we are pretty funny in general ! 

It’s clearly a waste of a lot of money then, Saffex. I read it was £70,000 per year he’s spending on it. 

Our food is not all bad !! Crikey. 

It’s true nobody likes the French though ha ha ha !
