That is why the shows with the best potential get axed and we get ten seasons of stupid reality TV shows.

I am surprised they haven't brought Frasier in Chicago to TV.
Not that I think people are demanding such a show, but TV networks rarely care what people want.

I tried to watch this show but only made it through a handful of episodes. I missed one and realized I didn't "miss" it so I dropped it. It wasn't really funny, and I honestly had better things to watch on TiVo than this. Of course, I could say the same about Big Bang Theory. Yuck.

Nope it's done. I read Kelsey Grammer even called CBS and pitched it to them and their President Nina Tassler said no.

Although not a ratings juggernaut these days, The Office managed to survive awful first season ratings. So it does still happen occasionally.

Spokesman: Kelsey Grammer has `mild' heart attack
1 hour, 49 minutes ago
LOS ANGELES - A spokesman for Kelsey Grammer says the "Frasier" star is recovering in a Hawaii hospital after a mild heart attack this weekend.
Stan Rosenfield says Grammer is "resting comfortably" in an undisclosed hospital after being stricken Saturday. Rosenfield says the 53-year-old actor will be released early this week.
Rosenfield says Grammer — the star of "Cheers," "Frasier" and the recently canceled Fox sitcom "Back to You" — was paddle-boarding with his wife, Camille, when he experienced symptoms.
The couple lives in Kona, on Hawaii's big island.
Rosenfield says Grammer was immediately taken to an area hospital where it was determined that he had suffered a "mild heart attack." The spokesman says he is unaware of any history of heart trouble for Grammer.

I am at times bewildered by the decisions to bump threads for posts that have nothing to do with the topic on hand.

And this thread has everything to do with Kelsey Grammer. He took it upon himself to go to CBS and try to get this show renewed.
What is this, pick on mrpayroll week?
