Since I didn't watch the earlier seasons of cheers before I watched Frasier, it blew my mind to see how much David Hyde Pierce (Niles) looked like younger Kelsey Grammer.
Interested to see the reboot of Frasier.

I use to watch a lot of Cheers on Nick at Night when I was young. I think it was my favorite show for a while. I must have seen every episode. These days, I've watched a few episodes on Hulu (IIRC). I still like the show, but damn, after a while I want to punch Diane right in the face. :lol:

I've enjoyed Ted Danson in a few shows. Anyone like Becker? I was also digging Bored to Death, until it was canceled. I hate when you're enjoying a show and then it gets canceled.

I never watched any of those shows, but The Good Place is a work of art.

I enjoyed Bored to Death too. It was a show that my friend mentioned and I didn't think I would like it. Next thing I knew, I was hooked. Lol.

It's too bad it didn't last too long. Ted Danson was hilarious in that show!

I told my mom about The Good Place, and watched a couple of them with her. We both agreed it was good, but I'm so easily distracted that I don't usually watch any TV. She binged the rest of them.

One thing I noticed about The Good Place, the first couple of episodes go kind of how you would expect the show to go. Then the story starts to really develop.

The Good Place really digs into the characters and that’s when it shines. Great characters in nonsense, but somewhat internally consistent situations.

I was listening to a guy talking in a foreign language I don't understand and I realised to me all that he is making is sounds.

Maybe the sounds animals make is a language just like that, maybe the animals have a name for human "sounds" like we have barking for dogs and quacking for ducks.

A lot of animals do communicate, just not what we consider to be language. I had an epiphany recently though. Are other animals capable of developing language (over generations) if their lifespans were as long as humans?
