Well, the guy who voices “Sideshow Bob” should know a thing or two about “clowns”.
He has his fingers in many pies, including executive producing (where the real money’s at).
Frasier, the acclaimed sitcom about a snobbish radio psychiatrist, may be returning to TV. Deadline reports that the show’s star, Kelsey Grammer, has been pitching a reboot of the series to network executives. ... A spin-off of the 80s sitcom Cheers, Frasier ran for 11 series between 1993 and 2004 on the US network NBC.Jul 26, 2018
A bit OT, but has anyone else seen this:

Thanks, I’ll have to look that up.
“Reagans eight years were good ...except George Bush was His biggest mistake.”
Yeah, I remember a lot of us were extremely disappointed by that - he said he wanted to unite the party - but in retrospect, he could have picked Charles Manson as a running mate and still beaten the peanut farmer.
The primaries weren’t even close - I could never figure out why he thought he needed to do that. The nominating committee acted as if they still had some say over whether Reagan was the nominee even though he stomped Bush 44 states to Bush’s 7. Bush didn’t even come close to winning his home state of Texas.
I guess there’s always talk of a “brokered convention” where the delegates don’t go with winner of the state primary. Maybe they threatened that and Reagan blinked.
I was sure Reagan was going to pick Jack Kemp. Kemp would have stopped Reagan from making his second biggest mistake: phasing in the tax cuts over 3 years. Kemp warned that a phase-in would cause the economy to grind to a halt as businesses would naturally defer transactions for three years, so as to take full advantage of lowest rates. Kemp was right.
Jack Kemp would have been a great VP with RWR. In 1988, Jack Kemp could run as President and it would been a different nation.
“Reagans eight years were good ...except George Bush was His biggest mistake.”
No disagreement here but a rather funny story:
I was working at a salmon cannery in Alaska the summer of the Republican convention — long days and hard work but six weeks paid for a year of college so you sucked it up and did the job.
Something had broken in the cannery and they had up all punch out for a few hours until it was fixed...we went to our bunk house and played some cribbage. The radio only received a local AM station:( ‘Danny on the fishing boat ‘Unlimited’ please call Judy when you return to shore...’) and the Armed Forces Radio (AFR) broadcast.
The current story on AFR was a live broadcast from the Republican National Convention — the VP candidate had yet to be chosen and the story was that Gerald Ford would be the VP for a co-presidency!
My new found friend, Greg and I both were giddy with excitement: a co-presidency! (OK, OK, OK we were very tired and Ford would have not been too good) but we both looked at each other and realized we were both Republicans!
It was in fact DAYS before we learned that GH Bush was the VP nominee as we soon went back to work and there was NO ability to access current news/events for days to come.
Funny how things work some times...
The episode we saw tonight was the Phyllis episode. Hilarious. Most are.
