Look out, he's got a nug!

I finally sat down and watched the finale of Frasier (and Friends, last night). I don't have a TV, and I'm happy about that. I keep hating it more and more whenever I go back to Vancouver or to a friend's house where there is one and I watch it.

But that doesn't mean EVERYthing on TV is crap, and there are a few shows I miss. Back when I used to watch TV, Frasier was my favorite. It was just SO refreshing to see a smart, relatively sophisticated, funny show with such well-developed and layered characters - all of them this much lovable. To have an eloquent - yet not over the top - and classy character played on TV was such a delight, and the dynamic relationship between Frasier and Niles, and between them and their Dad (played by John Mahoney, which I think is a PHENOMENAL actor and deserves more recognition) was fantastic.

Anyway, I thought the Finale was superb, a great ending to a legendery TV show, which probably due to the limitations of the American viewers intellect never got the legendery status it deserved.
