Sure. Among the glut of creatively bankrupt revival series Nu-Frasier is definitely on the “well, this is unnecessary” side of the divide rather than “painfully unwatchable.”

I, for one, was just hoping to get up to speed on the AWCU (Alice Walker Cinematic Universe) and found this article woefully inadequate. 

You folks know this all just information you can include in the review, right? I know the mission directive is to squuueeeeze as much content from everything as possible, but an “everything you need to know ahead of the HotD season 2 premier”-style explainer article for The Color freaking Purple is a tad silly.

Luckily, it seems to have worked out well, since the show is apparently pretty good (we’re putting it on our Paramount+ queue right now), with Pierce noting that “they don’t actually need me,” since Frasier has “moved on to a new world” and they have “new characters” who “are great.”

It’s neither a reboot nor a continuation; it’s a sequel series. The only element retained from the original is Frasier himself. If the main character had instead been, say, Freddy, we’d just be calling it a spin-off.

They literally just summarize other outlets' articles these days. When they inevitably replace the entire staff with an AI I doubt we'll even notice...assuming they haven't already.

And to be clear: liberals (not leftists; I’m talking the Sorkin types here) love and lionize pRinCipLeD cOnSeRvAtIvEs (McCain, Liz Cheney...fuck, even Dubya these days), whereas conservatives are typically just looking for a punching bag.

It's December 7th--why and where would school be out?

Why is your punctuation so awful?

Frasier really needs a peer to bounce off of. Lyndhurst is great at what he’s required to do, but it’s mostly just jokes about drinking and being a bad professor which makes a poor replacement for Niles.”

I’ll take 24 straight hours of Freddie before I take another second of Anders Keith and his laborious, wildly dismaying lukewarm Niles impression.”

Hmm...I, too, watched the whole season and no, it is not “really funny.” “Occasionally chuckle-worthy” is the best I can give it. It’s not bad, but it’s a weird uncanny valley experience of watching almost but not quite Frasier-ish characters do almost but not quite Frasier-ish things. It tries its level best to bring

For Anne Hathaway, who participated in the series opposite her old The Devil Wears Prada co-star Emily Blunt, it was changing her signature brunette locks (even though she infamously had them cut off on camera in Les Misérables), and donning a fabricated accent for the psychosexual thriller, Eileen.”

For further comment, we reached out to J. K. Rowling and Elon Musk...

That’s how I feel about the accusations against Joss Whedon. We have enough specifics—his philandering, how he reacted to Charisma Carpenter’s pregnancy, the crack about Gal Gadot's English speaking ability, etc.—to know that he’s a grade-A asshole, but people keep alluding to more egregious behavior while remaining

...so we’re going with the reactionary “radical pinko Marxist professors are brainwashing our children!” argument, then.

Hmmm...No, no you didn't. There are many potentially morally justifiable reasons for breaking the law, but "I had to cheat to get my idiot daughter of privilege into college" is not one of them.

It’s pure whataboutism - a tactic employed by 20th century Soviets and 21st century MAGA chuds alike. Such good company 

It's a twofer: condemning Israel's actions must necessarily mean you're antisemitic, just as supporting Palestinians must necessarily mean you support Hamas.

For fuck's sake, no American progressive is supporting Hamas.
