In America only, 33 million viewers for the first and last seasons, and pretty consistently between that (lowest was just under 20 mill for season 9). Also won 37 Primetime Emmys. Yeah, just a little show tucked away that nobody ever heard of.

Grew up with Frasier. Was like a second Friends tbh. And that should mean as much as it means to all of you who know who you are.

I didn't say nobody ever heard of it but it's still a piece of **** show up there with Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends and Seinfeld. How many times have we said on this forum that popularity doesn't mean quality.

I don't care it was a garbage show. What were you doing watching that show at your age anyways? Boring piece of ****.

Another fictional Crane - not a psychiatrist, but the titular hero of a tv series. This one is surely obscure ( with or without sarcasm) :-

What was he on that show? A stuntman? An undercover cop?

Lisnaholic 09-08-2017 06:47 PM

He was a tough businessman/small time crook with a soft heart, and the prog was clearly inspired by the film Casablanca. Have you seen that movie, dj?

Quote:

The series was based around Richard Crane (Patrick Allen) who was a successful city businessman who was tired of the big city rat race. He took his money and retired to the sun drenched shores of Morocco, near Casablanca, investing his money in a beach side café and boat.

Having let it be known that his services were available for import and export assignments, he soon found himself involved in minor smuggling activities...

Nah, **** it. You're not even worth arguing with. Just cos you don't like it doesn't make it garbage.

Yes I have. Just not in a long time. They played it on a big screen in the park this summer but I missed it.

Seinfeld and Everyone Loves Raymond were great. Friends on the other hand no so much. I really don't understand the hatred for those shows. I am tempted to think it is because of the ethnic background of the characters. I guess not everyone can tolerate Jews and Italians let alone their humour, and that's OK. Whatever floats your hate boat. They were an oppress people in America. Think how much prejudices the Jews and Italians had to suffer in America before they could be taken serious as comedians! One thing people often forget is that the KKK list Jews and Italians on their list of people to hate right after African Americans and the Irish and Catholics. I guess "Irish Catholics" get a double dose of hate from the KKK.

Friends was great. Never watched seinfeld or ELR, but as soon as they turn up on netflix I'll dig in.

Chances are they will be the same but they listed both to be sure to be sure.

I've got to admit, whether it was intentional or not, hell of a way to pull the thread back on topic when it had strayed so far. Good job!

I'm not sure why KKK has beef with the Italians but yeah I know they are antisemitic. I love Curb Your Enthusiasm so for me personally it isn't the Jewish humor that I'm opposed to.

The KKK doesn't like any ethnic group in the US identifying themselves as an "hyphenated-American."

The point of me bringing up the Egyptian reference was because you were making it seem like the idea of more than two genders was something new that just came on the scene in the past few years and no it wasn't about hermaphrodites.

But I was talking about gender identity though, how would you?

I was as well. There is a long history of gender identities going back in time.

Hmmm intetesting. Guess it makes sense though. Just never heard of that. Seems more like a neo nazi philosophy.

Lisnaholic 09-09-2017 05:14 PM

Arthur Koestler, who experienced Nazi hatred first hand, pointed out one often overlooked failing of the Nazi party; that they took themselves so seriously they were unable to laugh at themselves. At first sight, it might seem a minor flaw, but laughter can be a potent antidote to self-righteousness, hypocrisy and hatred.

That's why I endorse what Neapolitan says; Seinfeld, Raymond and Friends were all great shows imo; cleverly scripted and very funny. And as we laugh at or with George Constanza, Rachel Green, etc we also laugh at ourselves. The sitcoms are great fun to watch and they also make us more empathetic and more human; they innoculate us against the propaganda and humourless hatred of the alt-right and other such groups.

So enjoy the shows and know that in doing so you are taking a stand against fascist ideologies!
( And if I'm wrong, show me the alt-right sitcom that proves it.)

No he's not. He's attacking djchameleon for having double standards. He better counter-confront him. DJ better not slunk out. He should step into their *******, close the door behind him and spray paint "djchameleon was here." "Wash me," all that kind of stuff.

Lucem Ferre 09-09-2017 06:30 PM

You all have snobbish double standards, if you wanna be honest here.

Edit: It's the spirit of MB.

Like I'm actually positive you've tried to float the "It's popular though!" argument

All the mainstream music I like. I have never stooped to using that phrase to back up my liking of something popular. Take that weak ass argument elsewhere.

3rd rock from the sun was pretty funny. I loved it when it was on.

The Batlord 09-09-2017 09:21 PM

Only joyless ****s didn't like 3rd Rock.

Lucem Ferre 09-09-2017 09:21 PM

Eric Andre Show? Because they revealed Kelly Osborne as a Nazi.
