Sideshow Bob, yakkin' it up on the old yak-box!

It always cracks me up whenever someone refers to a loved one as Mrs./Baby/Little/etc. (username). I hope you actually named your kid "Pontifex".

Also, Bob is funny-looking.

"reverse-letterboxing"? Wait, is that that thing they do on FX that makes FX shows completely unwatchable? I hate that. I didn't know it had a name.

I've never really read or listened to any interviews with him, so I don't know if he "portrays himself" as a smart guy, but I was just thinking about that—-how since Frasier and Sideshow Bob are (book)smart guys, everyone assumes Kelsey Grammer must be intelligent. But…he's an actor, for God's sake. He could be an…

Geech gone to heaven, Mr. Terwillidger. :(

He was the producer - it's not like the network just slapped some random guy's name on it because they thought he'd be a draw.

Hey! Her eyes are up here!

I loved "The Sketch Show". That's right. I am the person who loved "The Sketch Show".

Has he ever done a dramatic role other than BCS?

"The Simpsons" is so important to some people that, yes, we think it's the most interesting thing in the world. But if there's one thing I've learned from listening to DVD commentaries, it's that even the regular cast members tend to memorize their lines, deliver them, go home, and forget them. It's unbelievable how…

Well, that's disappointing! I've always thought (maybe independently, maybe I heard about this and filed it away in the back of my brain) that Grammer would make a great Macbeth.

At least he can write worth a damn!

(I know that, but I feel like a lot of people don't, so thank you. You're the best.)

I hated "Boss" (I've worked in politics for most of my life, and hate most stuff that goes too far in depicting politicians as over-the-top evil—-they're usually at least subtler about it than "Boss" or "House of Cards"), but man, Kelsey Grammer was good on that show.

It always weirds me out when people are surprised that celebrities are Republicans. a., if your career is based on having an abnormal amount of talent, that's bound to inform your worldview and guide you toward believing in a certain amount of Republican-style social Darwinism. And b., of course, if you have a lot of…

Someone I used to know was obsessive about cataloguing how "coked-up" Grammer appeared in every "Frasier" episode. I had no idea until today that this was a reference to real-life events; I thought it was just about how manic Frasier could often be, especially late in the show's run. Now I'm thinking it was probably…

Plenty of reasons to hate him, but he delivered as Frasier and as Sideshow Bob, and if luck played a role (I assume you're referring to John Lithgow refusing the part), well, luck plays a role in everything.

I love that Kelsey Grammer's relationship with the dog mirrored Frasier's relationship with the dog.

I don't want to respond to every single comment here with, "Have you read anything by Rabin before?", but…have you read anything by Rabin before? If there's a less competent writer or critic in the world who somehow consistently gets people to pay him money for his shit, I have no idea who it is. "Hey, this guy who…
