I agree that it was a very classy send off. One of the best series finales ever. The story ended like a really good book you have been reading for a long time and when it ends, you put it down and feel satified. I read that Kelsey has already said he is not opposed to the idea of bring his character back to telelvision, but I think his quote was something along the lines of “when television needs Frasier back”… I hope it happens. Would love to see him have a new show, maybe based in SF or Chicago. But talk about spin offs - I can see a Niles and Daphne show, a Martin and (what’s her name) show, a Roz in Seattle show…but sadly, American television is going the way of “Who Wants To Give A Millionaire A Blow Job?” It might be awhile before “television needs Frazier back.” ---

Well in a recent episode of Will & Grace, Bebe Neuwirth said (about Lilith) “I’ll be playing that bitch forever” Ok, it was fiction, but she seems to think her character will keep going. ---

For those of us about five years behind on US TV, who is spinning off from Fraiser? Martin or Niles? ---

Bebe (Harriet Harris) just steals every scene she’s in. What a great comedic character she was. “Honestly, Frasier, you sound just like the police!” Cracked me up. ---

I liked when Frasier said it was hot as the ninth circle of hell outside. Just that instant, Bebe walks through the door and says, “Isn’t this weather glorious!” ---

> [@](#): > > I liked the show but I wish Frasier hadn’t gone to Chicago. The reason is because I figured from the start he would go there and I knew that was where the plane was headed even after all the San Francisco stuff. I like to be surprised. Ah, see… I was surprised by this. I originally thought he’d go to Chicago before the show started, then Linney left and there was all this San Fran stuff, and I though the writers duped us, making us think Fraiser would go to Chicago, but he won’t. Then at the end, when he actually DID go to Chicago, I was like they duped us again! I thought they played it pretty well :D.
