That's probably what was thought about Frasier when it was first suggested as a Cheers spinoff. Turned out to be rather successful.

Spoiler alert Drake don't read this post if you haven't seen the show


Ahhhhh it was so good! You will notice they set some things up that could possibley reoccur in Joey like Mike telling Phobe that he wanted a baby and of course Rachel and Ross getting back together.

Did they ever say what was happening with Monica's appartment?

I loved the part in the hospital where Monica is telling Chandler he's freeking out and his response "join me, won't you!!" That was great! But the best was when Rachel said "I got off the plane" that.....well that was just the best!

I actually heard a rumor that Ross and Rachel show up in "Joey" as a couple. I believe David Schwimmer let that slip, IIRC.

I'm not upset that this show is gone as I was when 'Seinfeld' stopped making new episodes. It's a funny show, but I don't watch TV like I used to. Although I do identify with Chandler.

This is one of the funnier shows though...or was...

I was dissapointed. I hated Ross, I was hoping he would get hit by a bus or something. Rachel nor Monica didn't get naked. Chandler stayed in the closet. And my two favs, Phoebe and Joey, were really just brushed to the side... Oh, well. It was still funny.

The thing is, you could never figure anything or anyone out if you're life depended on it -- take your wife for example.

Less than a week until the Fraiser final episode. Shame that so much of a deal has been made about Friends. Fraiser is the one that has won MUCH more awards (most awards of any American comedy series in history, IIRC), is the more critically acclaimed, and is just better written and acted.

Well, the difference is that Fraiser definitely jumped the shark, whereas Friends only kind of jumped the shark.

I cannot stand the Niles/Daphne relationship. It is never funny.

I love Frasier, while technically it is a spinofff, it really isn't.

They managed to create an entirely new show with a completely different sytle than Cheers. The title character is different from the character he played on cheers.

I love Frasier, but Jaguar is right in saying that jumping the shark with the Niles/Daphne marriage really hurt the show. Got rid of one of the show's most interesting subplots and replaced it with comic deadweight. Frasier may indeed have been better than Friends in its prime, but it hasn't aged nearly as gracefully.

That's true. The later series of Frasier have been pretty crap.

Kind of jumped the shark? Friends definetly jumped the shark. Fraiser HAD to have Niles/Daphne get married, but at least they did it during the end.

And yes, this season has been great.

Fraiser is the only show in history to have 5 straight Emmy victories in Best Comedy and nominated the times it didn't win, not to mention many other awards. Friends has won once and nominated only a few times here and there.

I just watched the last episode of Lexx. That was a great way to end a great, in unconventional, show.
