Kelsey Grammer Shocked As Show Kicked Off Fox

One thing that was great about Grammer was the amount of gay subtext -- deliberate and inadvertent -- on his show "Frasier". Two openly-gay players (actors playing Niles & Bulldog), Frasier himself being the quintessential gay stereotype of an impossibly fussy man who not surprisingly was thought of as gay by one of his bosses and also never could keep a woman in his bed for very long. Couple of other actors on the show are also supposedly gay. Even in it's final grinding years, Frasier was better viewing than most other sitcoms. This new one simply paled in comparison. I watched the debut and a couple others but it was doomed from the get go.

On the other hand, Fox has also seemingly cancelled the superior court drama Canterbury's Law, a show that could have used Grammer in a strong supporting role -- say as one of the judges. He was wonderful in the X-Men movies as the big blue guy. He's also a very sexy man, not unlike fellow Rep Gerald McCraney -- another actor whose politics don't bother me as long as he's acting. posted 05/14/2008 at 19:40:49

Ian McKellen To Reprise Role Of Gandalf

What I wanna know is -- why is this great gay actor playing asexual wizards when he should be reviving great gay playwrights like Orton, Williams, and Albee on screen?

Jason Beghe, TV And Movie Actor, Films Scientology Rant: "Destructive And A Rip-Off"

Have you ever noticed that no really good actors are members of this group? I mean, I remember Beghe in various roles throughout the 80's and 90's but he was never anything more than a hunkola with delusions of becoming the next Harrison Ford or Robert Redford. Not that either one of those guys is such a great actor -- they made big via their good looks and charm, not their largely wooden emoting. If he hadn't joined this group Beghe probably would have gone down Tom Sizemore's road to self-destruction. Or, he might have just done a Michael Schoeffling and quit the business to become an apparently perfectly happy blue-collar family man. I think MS (Jake from "Pretty in Pink") probably has the best life of any of these guys, the lucky sod. ;) posted 04/15/2008 at 20:51:38

"Jericho" Axed For Good After Already Being Canceled Once And Revived By Peanut Campaign

I lost interest in this show when it went all militaristic and nasty, right after the episode where they go to the "swap meet" and one of the girls was menaced. Later on I heard that Jake's father had died and that galvanized it for me: a show no longer worth watching. The dad was the strongest character and without him, Jericho would have been like Bonanza without Lorne Greene.

What they should have done from the get-go was a modern version of Pat Frank's classic post-nuke novel, "Alas, Babylon" in mini-series form with Skeet in the lead; at least that one had a sense of hope and humanity to it. posted 03/23/2008 at 23:41:03
