IMO Frasier was the funniest situation comedy ever! The writing was sharp, sarcastic with that dry sense of humor, also the best ensemble cast ever put together. Sure miss it. Thank heaves for reruns.

I really miss it. I liked the fact that the writers didn't dumb it down, and kept all sorts of highbrow literary and artistic references in it. I think the decline started when Niles and Daphne got together. The sexual tension prior to that was priceless.

Oh, I agree on all counts.

Also, I have especially fond memories of the Carol Burnett show, especially the "Eunice" skits. Tim Conway was a genius.

While it's not really a regular show, Hallmark Hall of Fame is a recurring series that has lasted decades, as I've enjoyed nearly all of those that I've seen.

Could not agree more although I think I even noticed the writing wasn't as sharp during the later few years, and if I remember correctly I think it was before she and Niles got together. I've been watching the reruns, and must say that although there was a softening in writing it still was better than anything else out there, and, imo, still is.
