The Great Bill Belichick Experiment Is Already Deep In The Dumpster | Defector

It’s not the sort of career-capping achievement anyone had in mind, but Bill Belichick really has done something amazing at North Carolina. He has somehow managed to make his job, which was supposed…

The greatest thing I own or will ever own is this old retail standee where Dracula casually reveals a coffin full of Doritos and Pepsi.

It was a flimsy premise, but thankfully they were more interested in the backstories of what they'd been doing in the intervening years and their banter.

Prosky was an all-time great theater actor who was doing character roles in movies at that time, a good hire on paper. I'd have bet on the writers to do something interesting there. But Woody the actor & character was such a home run.

Harrelson won an Emmy with 5 noms within those limitations (and great writing). He was too adventurous and too good an actor to stay in that box for another 2 years, much less 11. He also had offscreen interests in being an activist & an oddball. But Grammer certainly had his own offscreen issues.

I found some scuttlebutt that NBC/Paramount may have pitched Harrelson on staying as the post-Danson lead of Cheers and were obviously rebuffed. I also forgot about the original pitch for a Grammer post-Cheers sitcom.

Grammer did not originally want to continue playing Frasier Crane, and Angell, Casey and Lee did not want the new show to be compared to Cheers, which they had worked on before Wings. The three proposed that the actor play a wealthy, Malcolm Forbes-like paraplegic publisher who operated his business from his apartment. The main show featured a "street-smart" Hispanic live-in nurse who would clash with the main character.[25] While Grammer liked the concept, Paramount Television disliked it, and suggested that the best route would be to spin off the Frasier Crane character.[25] Grammer ultimately agreed to star in a Cheers spin-off, but the producers set the new show as far from Boston as possible to prevent NBC from demanding that other characters from the old show make guest appearances on the new show during its first season.

Woody & Joey are similar characters. "Woody" w/Frasier's writers is probably much better than "Joey", but Woody was also a legit movie star in '93 & didn't need TV. LeBlanc in '04...was not.

Joey had Will & Grace behind it that fall, but The Apprentice after that. Not ideal for C- spinoff idea.

I remember liking Always Save frosted flakes. In the 80s, it came in a yellow box, black print, no pictures. And IIRC they weren't really like the Kellogg's name brand. They were huge, thick flakes that would get flabby in milk, but that just made it like eating a bowl of little pancakes.

From a purely selfish fantasy perspective as someone who's had CMC in a keeper league his whole career, I'm nervous about the number of carries he's been getting. IMO they're not getting enough efficiency from those carries to justify the wear and tear on him and injury risk.

I was excited about the hire, but I've seen enough.

20, even 15 years ago, there were still divey casinos on the Strip or Strip-adjacent where I could walk in with $50-60 and play low-stakes blackjack on $20 of that for 2 or 3 hours, using the rest to tip the servers, who were willing to bring you call liquor or decent beer if you took care of them.

From prison, convicted rapist Arlin Jordin has easily evicted tenants for decades. With Washington’s right-to-counsel laws, that’s all changing. This month, it all came to a head with Spokane's first right-to-counsel jury trial for an eviction:

IIRC gambling was passed by non-gambling (food & beverage, hotel, entertainment, etc.) as the primary source of revenue for Vegas casinos years ago. You can still get comped drinks on the floor & (midweek) hotel deals, but you generally have to be a big player to get flown in&put up for free/cheap.
