Sarah 103

I find both of these possibilities to be realistic/within the realm of something that could happen in the show and possibly real life as well. And, because of who she was teaching, there was a better than average chance that someone from their crowd would find out, which is exactly what happened.

Yes to all of this expect for one thing. I don't know if she would be able to figure out that Oscar's gay, or who in her social circle would be able to clue her in on the secret.

I agree to some extent. I think she wants to marry for love and not someone her mother selected. But if it is someone her parents, or at least her father, will approve of and allow her to stop living with her parents and her mother's rules, she can probably convince herself that she loves Oscar.

Peggy is one of the most interesting characters and I'm glad they finished that part of her story so they can give her something more interesting to do. I want to see more of Peggy at the newspaper and her relationship with the editor. Yes and no. I took that to mean that as long as Gladys is discrete and no one finds out, she will be allowed to have affairs and he will tolerate them as long as it does not become public knowledge or a scandal. Now I want a scene where Marion either feels the need to confess or explain something to her aunts, just as Ada and Agnes have discovered Oscar's secret. I want a scene of Marion and Oscar in one room and him telling her something like "Whatever you have done, it is going to be the least of their problems. You could have done almost anything and you will get a free pass." As long as the other man was okay with the baby having Oscar's last name and being part of that family, I don't think it would be a problem for Oscar. The marriage is supposed to produce heirs and someone to carry on the name, and to the outside world he will have done that. Depending on who the biological father is, Oscar might be okay with having the person in their life as an honorary uncle or something. Oscar seems to be pretty on board with the idea of Gladys having affairs. Larry is grown, but he is not yet married. I'm sure she wants a suitable match for him. Bertha won't be as picky, but she wants someone for her son who will not cause a scandal or ruin the family name among society. I think part of Bertha's character is that it will never be enough for her. She will always want more and better. There is always going to be something else.

I have a different thought on the issue. It makes sense to change a release date for a movie that isn't finished, because you can't do a mainstream wide release for a movie that is not completely done. I understand "serious" Oscar type movies changing their release dates because many of them are from smaller studios/production companies with smaller budgets that don't have the money for massive ad campaigns. They depend on the actors/creative team being able to promote the movie on talk shows and other places which are then circulated on various websites (like YouTube). Disney has the money to run ad campaigns on TV, online, and any other place movies are advertised. I do not see a reason for them to move the release date for a movie that is already finished.

When Frasier was talking to Eve at the bar, I'm surprised they didn't go for a joke about bartenders being a poor man's shrink or something similar. As soon as Frasier was watching the news broadcast on the fire and started talking, I was waiting for them to mention Martin. I thought it was touching that Frasier was worried about Freddie, and after spending so many years worrying about his father, he did not want to go through that again. The Dalmatian was adorable and young. I want to see more of him or her. David is a disappointment. They are writing him as a cute sitcom kid when he is almost an adult. I want to see an episode/plotline that is Freddie and David together without Frasier. I want to see what the relationship dynamic is like between the cousins.

I would watch that show! We've heard enough of their childhood that there is enough to draw from. It would be wonderful to see Hester and Martin as a happily married couple and to watch them raise them their boys.

I agree. My take on it, and this really just pure fan-theory, is that her interests were more like Niles and Frasier. She liked the symphony, the opera, "the finer things"/upscale snobby things. However, she was also more than willing to do things that Martin enjoyed, and may have even come to genuinely enjoy them herself. It may not have been her thing at the start of the marriage, but she was willing to give it an honest try and wasn't going to look down on it and make fun of it just because it wasn't her thing.

In case anyone else was wondering when the new and final season would start. https://www.tvguide.com/news/the-cw-fall-tv-shows-2023-the-complete-schedule/ Tuesday, Nov. 14 9 p.m.: Whose Line Is It Anyway? — Season 12 premiere 9:30 p.m.: Whose Line Is It Anyway? — New episode

I agree. People sometimes go to the wrong college, realize it was a mistake, and then transfer to a different school where they are a better fit. They could have had Freddie do that. I know they were going for father-son conflict, and there's still a way to make this work within the series. Instead of Freddie dropping out of Harvard, maybe he transferred to a "lesser school" where he was much happier. After college, he became a firefighter, much to the dismay of Frasier. I have the same question. Is Lilith okay with it or has at least made peace with it sooner than Frasier? Has Freddie been estranged from both of his parents for over a decade? These are questions I hope are answered when Lilith makes a cameo this season.

I meant we never really got to see her as a regular character on the show and know what she was like to be with on a day to day basis.

I would think any of them would want at least some time behind the desk as solo host because it would be something that could add to their reel for future projects/auditions. Dulce is one of my favorite correspondents, so I want her to do a full week for the purely selfish reason that I throughly enjoy her work.

I'm not opposed to the idea of co-hosts. It's worked well on Weekend Update for decades. Ronnie Chang and Michael Kosta as co-hosts did not work for me at all. Michael Kosta's interview on Thursday was well done.

They probably weren't DVRing it to watch every day, but I could see it being something they might have seen once or twice when they were home sick from school. I agree. I think that might have been the best part of the episode. You could tell Freddie had been waiting for years to be able to do something like that. I am now disappointed this is not the premise they went with and may like the hypothetical version of the show with a podcast instead of the actual series. Frasier goes to Boston and decides he wants to reconnect with Freddie. (Freddie agrees to move in for a better reason than given in the actual series). Meanwhile, Frasier spends time with Cornwall. Cornwall is complaining about how he is being encouraged to retire (getting bad teaching assignments, bad committee assignments; because it's TVLand, you can get away with stuff that might not be 100% accurate). Frasier misses really being able to help people, like he did with his radio show. On the spot, he pitches a podcast and appeals to Cornwall's ego, because he is so well known in the field (you can set this up a line of dialogue about how Frasier has kept up with all of his friend's books or articles in leading professional or academic publications in the field). Listeners who may not take Frasier seriously anymore would take Cornwall seriously. Eve becomes the producer. It still allows her time to audition. (All of the above is the first episode) David wants to help so he offers to do promotion/social media. Frasier and Cornwall assume that because David is Generation Z, he is a tech genius, but he is not. (This is the second episode) Main sets: Frasier's living room and kitchen The recording studio in Frasier's apartment Eve's apartment (it's where Freddie goes when he needs a break from Frasier) Mahoney's (this is the bar from the new series. I like the idea of a hang-out spot like Nervosa, and the name is a tribute to the actor who played Martin)

I agree with you. Also, he's still a working actor. He isn't completely living off residuals although it would not surprise me if that is a major part of his income.

Same here. She deserves a full week. She's one of my favorite correspondents. I was really surprised by him. Michael Kosta is one of my least favorite correspondents, so I wasn't looking forward to his week hosting. I like him much better as a host than a correspondent.

Are the sunglasses accurate or an anachronism? I had no idea if sunglass went back that far.

I had a totally different idea for what David would be like (which is not who the character turned out to be). I wanted him to be like Hester (Martin's wife/Niles and Frasier's mother), who is a character we heard about but never saw. I wanted someone that couldn't go the opera, ballet, or symphony with Frasier on Friday because he's watching Manchester United at the pub with his friends, but is available on Saturday. I wanted to see someone who could appreciate both worlds and be equally comfortable/at home in each. There's a part of me that loves your idea, because it would have been closer to the original series, in that you have the younger generation that gets along with each other and has similar tastes, but those tastes are the complete opposite of the older generation. Frasier wouldn't need to wonder how that happened. Niles sort of predicted it. I copied this from IMDb, because I couldn't remember the quote. It's from part 1 of the original Frasier series finale. Niles is worried that his child with Daphne will take after Daphne's brothers.

I'm going with no. He clearly is trying to present a certain image of himself to his friends/co-workers. My guess is that he is trying (and was succeeding until Frasier showed up) in keeping his work life and his family life completely separate.

That line made me think it was more setup for the "big reveal" that Freddie was going to be gay or bi. I was wrong, and I'm okay with that. Weather issues work for me. Off-screen visits are also a strong possiblity. Off-screen visits could be school break and David is visiting his parents in Seattle. It could also be the episode starts just after Niles and Daphne have left Boston to visit David, Frasier, and Freddie.

I wonder if that was part of the reason Frasier went with it. He remembered doing the same thing. Also, it was funny, and I enjoyed it.

The first two episodes felt like set-up (which they were). I am not in love with the series, but I do not hate it. I am willing to give it more episodes to see where it goes and how it develops. I did like Frasier going all in on/playing along with the lies Freddie told his firefighter friends and ripping off the plot of Mamma Mia in the process.

My favorite fan theory that explains this in the original is that Frasier was an early investor in Microsoft and other Seattle based tech companies, and as a result made a small fortune in the stock market. In this series, it makes more sense because he was supposed to be on an incredibly successful and long running syndicated daytime TV show. YES to this. It's a fascinating dynamic, because there's a 15 year age difference. When David was 10, Freddie was 25. A ten year old and a twenty five year old are in totally different places/stages in their lives. This is the first time the two can now interact as adults (or in the case of David, almost an adult). Also, I would love to know how much the two of them saw each other growing up before Freddie dropped out of Harvard, and if the split with Frasier also meant that David lost contact with his cousin. When Freddie first said that Frasier didn't know about John (Eve's baby), what briefly went through my head was that Freddie was gay or bi and hadn't told Frasier, but then I realized that didn't make sense. Freddie wouldn't need to hide his sexuality from Frasier. Then we found out that John was Eve's baby. Still, it had the makings of a great bedroom farce.

Same here. Disney+ does extras/special features on their streaming platform and I wish other platforms would do the same, especially when the commentary track and special features already exist.

Practicing and publishing are two different things. He could have been writing articles/getting published between seasons. Do we know for a fact that David is in his class? Even if David isn't in his class, your idea that he was hired as an overqualified adjunct would make a great deal of sense.
