Well, Frasier did well after Cheers.

It's still the worst programme on TV. Just shows you how retarded most North Americans are.

WTF dude!!! Frasier rocks. You're just too dumb to get any of the subtle humor :p

Of all the friends I can only see Joey or Phoebe having anything interesting happening to them after the initial run.
But I'll have to see before I judge.

It'd be tough to learn anything from the Seinfeld spinoffs, since there weren't any.

Not once did I badmouth Frasier. I enjoy the show, but it is not on my list of favorites.

He means, Jason Alexander, Michael Richards and Julia Louis-Dreyfus EACH had their own shows after seinfeld. ALL THREE flopped.

My wife has bought the first four seasons on DVD, and they happen to be cluttering up my DVD changer all the time. I'm afraid to think about how much more 5-10 are going to cost.

There are much worse shows on TV. Anyone of those reality shows is at least 100 times worse than Frasier.

Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

There is absolutely nothing subtle about about that show, especially not the bits that are allegedly funny. In fact, I have to say the supposed humor is completely opposite of understated.

Watch an episode of Blackadder, starring Rowan Atkinson, written by Ben Elton and then we'll talk funny.

Considering I've watched Cheers since I was a kid and Frasier since day one, I'd say that I'm pretty atuned to its humour. As for Blackadder, never heard of it. I know Mr. Bean though.

That's like making a show called "Newman", as a spin off of what Newman did after Seinfeld....
Wasn't that Jurassic Park?

You know what would be cool, if Joey was to beat Ross to death in the final episode and then the spinoff could be Joey in "Rikers" or Attica" Kind of like a "Friends in Prison"
