Well, kiddies, you can keep your "Friends." "Frasier" was a much better tv show. Despite my not really watching these past 3 seasons, I will watch the series finale tonight. Frasier, Niles, Daphne, and Eddie deserve it. Consistently intelligent, witty, and filled with zany references ("Bridesmaid Revisited", anyone?) to books, events, and shows, this was one of NBC's finest.
The big question remains--will Maris make a final appearance? Yes, Niles married Daphne after years of lusting after her, but that uptight ex-spouse of his was referenced brilliantly over the years.
Make fun of Kelsey Grammer all you want. The guy's simply hilarious! Reminds me of a dimwit I once worked with: this woman comments on how he's not much of an actor, then comments on how Macauley Culkin was getting raves for a broadway show he was in at the time. (Some of you reading this will know who I'm talking about. She also had a dandruff problem, constant lipstick on her teeth, and was basically a stuffed shirt when it came to her job. Or should I say blouse? Whatever...)
Oh, it's hard to say goodbye when high quality is involved. Thank God I've still got "Smallville." I've tried not to watch it too much this season, since all the shows I'm devoted to get canceled. I was slavishly devoted to "Ally McBeal", and look what happened to that! Oh, it's too much.
My TV, as of late, has really been for rented movies and sporting events. Wimbledon will be here soon, and that makes me happy. I wouldn't dare pick up a racket again with these knees, so I let Venus and Serena sort it out. And of course, "Sopranos" on Sunday. What WILL I do when Tony and Carmela are no longer around? I shudder to think.
Well, more skating this Saturday, and a sports massage on Sunday. My back feels like one million little knots. And the saga of the window continues...UGH.
