I’ll always remember her as Blue on Throb.
Trevor Einhorn, who played Frazier & Lilith’s son, was also one of the cast of The Magicians. I was hoping they’d include him in the reboot, but there’s no indication of it.
She was also one of the dancers in the final musical number (“Christmas in Heaven”) in Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life, back in 1983. So she’s been around a while (and, IMHO, a total knockout the whole time).
He was great on Magicians.
Vera was seen briefly in the Thanksgiving episode with the food fight. Unfortunately, her face was covered with pumpkin pie.
On Jane Leeves. She had 11 years on Frasier, six years on Hot in Cleveland and two years on Throb (which I didn’t know about). That makes 19 years in the main cast of a TV show. I would consider that as top tier.
More recently, she was on The Resident (a medical drama on Fox) for five years.
She made a good virgin on Seinfeld, too.
Jane Leeves also had a recurring role on Murphy Brown for awhile, which is where I remember first noticing her.
She played a silent, but important, role in TO LIVE OR DIE IN L.A.
She played Miles’s girlfriend, before they went in the “let’s pair Miles up with Corky” direction.
This may also be of interest to Cheers fans:
I was glad to see this. I also saw a later-in-life quote from Coolio where he acknowledged he was wrong with his statements about Weird Al and the Amish Paradise song.
Some people do learn.
I’m so curious what the heck caused the grudge between them. Both have good enough reputations on sets that they keep getting work.
Leaves had to be written out, though, when she was cast in Frasier. It was very abrupt. The episode started with Miles coming in distraught, because he had just woken up and Audrey was gone, along with all her stuff. And what was he going to do with these two tickets to see the then-called Redskins play at home? The remainder of the episode was about the tickets being passed around, and bad things happening to everyone who accepted them. I guess that was a smooth way to handle it: no drama, no dragging it out, just Audrey booking out, back to England or wherever.
As for Miles + Corky, Diane English was no longer the show runner by the time that happened. She did not approve, and it was not acknowledged in the revival series.
A reunion episode would be perfect now. Sam finally accepts it’s time to retire. We see Norm, Cliff and Carla one last time. They live in different states and flew in to see Sam. It’s clear they won’t visit Boston again.
Sam turns the keys over to the construction crew for remodeling.
A sign on the wall says reopening in 2025.
The reboot can start fresh with a new set and cast.
What reboot?
I was responding to Happy_Lendervedder
@Happy_Lendervedder was referring to the reboot of Frasier.
I know that Shelley Long resented Grammer for a long time, because she thought the producers were going to use her relationship with Frasier to write her out of the the show (this was before she decided to leave on her own.) I wonder if Danson had the idea they might have used a Sam/Diane breakup to end the show, or whether he just thought Frasier was a character who was unnecessary after Shelley Long left on her own.
