How are you watching it? That show, well Daphne, has crossed my mind recentlyI've been binge watching Frazier. I liked watching it years ago, but didn't appreciate the humor as much as i do now.

Love Sherlock. Some of the new books written by others not so much. One is even a daughter of Sherlock, not so much.I'm goin through all the old Sherlock Holmes
Films. Several people played Holmes.
I've almost finished all the different versions.
don't know how stormie is doing it, but Frazier is now on Paramount+How are you watching it? That show, well Daphne, has crossed my mind recently
I loved that show! I remember one episode in particular, where Patinkin’s character (the most arrogant heart surgeon in the world - lol) gets into it with the equally arrogant lawyer character, and absolutely burns him to the ground. That exchange was to best I’ve ever seen in terms of put-downs.Now if they would just stream Chicago Hope. I adored Mandy Patinkin in that.
2001 A Space Odyssey

If you like Mandy Patinkin, watch "Dead Like Me". But only the show, not the post-show movie. The movie doesn't exist.DD and I have been watching E.R. at night. She loves it lol. Now if they would just stream Chicago Hope. I adored Mandy Patinkin in that.
Playing with AI:
I've been busy the last couple months, so I've only had time to watch shorter movies, and ones you could only generously call "B List".
Cases in point:
Attack of the 50-foot Woman (1958)
It's Alive! (1974)
Hercules, Samson, and Ulysses (1965) - this was particularly bad
Death Curse of Tartu (1966)
These were bad, but in a train wreck, can't quite look away type of fashion...
Badges?I've enjoyed the Survivor series on British TV in the '70's
Favorite Movies... Treasure of the Sierra Madres, African Queen
Well, it depends…Badges?
Life is simply too short for me to read fiction.@bracketquant , Did you ever read the Dune original trilogy? It’s a great read. (Actually, books one and three are great; book two was boring to me.) Hollywood tried multiple times to make a dune movie. The screenplays always sussed out to 6 hours or more. And when they finally released the film, I knew it wouldn’t be faithful to the book. Sure enough, there were huge gaps in the storyline. I discovered that there was a separate British version which was an hour longer. When I saw that version, I found it much more satisfying. All the story holes were addressed, but the version was IIRC 4 hours long. (Similarly, there’s a longer version of Dances With Wolves that accomplishes the same thing.)
I liked the original Arron for the advanced imaging. It was a beautiful film to see, even though (yes) it was boring.
And 2001 wasn’t written to be a shmup movie. It was a grand cerebral look at what mankind might accomplish if freed from paying for the survival of billions of Turd Whirled blacks. I loved the music, and I loved the beautiful scenes. But you had to have read the book to understand the movie.
I got the entire grand cerebral look at what mankind might accomplish, where the ape tossed the bone and the scene then went to the spaceship.@bracketquant , Did you ever read the Dune original trilogy?

A wee bit of symbolism, what?I got the entire grand cerebral look at what mankind might accomplish, where the ape tossed the bone and the scene then went to the spaceship.
