Kelsey Grammer (Frasier) won an emmy for his visit to Nantucket for a weekand seminar. It was possibly the best Wings episode ever. Hilarious! Aaron Degroot

Well David, your gross stereotyping of government/military employees really shows your lack of intellect. Since when is a persons opinion that in a specific newsgroup you should only write about that newsgroup constitute as censorship? If you want to talk about Mad About You and Friends--create another newsgroup. I have read many other complaints to this effect and they did not receive such a retaliation. Gvrnmt/mil employees are everyday people. They function the same way as everyone else. Why should their opinion not count? I propose that you grow up and get a life!

Which one is Michael J. Fox's brother? There is no "Fox" listed as one of the actors in the credits.

First, a rude comment: I was talking about shows worth watching. (I'll get some shit for that for sure)

Now, the real point: Spinoffs don't count. We're talking about independent, concurrent shows where some of the characters [know/interact with] each other.

Are there not current examples of shows crossing stories? Like murphy brown - didn't they have somebody writing a seinfeld script? Obviously this isn't something new - perhaps not a "trend thang" but it's cool right now to do this. Also nbc is doing more while running the credits at the end of its shows, something seinfeld started with the comedy.

Well, get ready for major crossover overload! This Thursday, November 3rd, NBC presents "BLACKOUT THURSDAY". Remember, all four Thursday NBC comedies are set in New York City. Mad About You, Friends, Seinfeld, and Madman will all experience a blackout caused by one Jamie Buchman. I did hear the Jerry didn't want to participate, but the commercial tells me otherwise. Let's hope it doesn't happen for real. I live in New York, and would not want to have to try to watch TV in the dark!

Well, Mad About You had definite tie-ins to Seinfeld. Kramer was sub-letting Paul Reiser's character's apartment. He even appeared on Seinfeld. All three shows tie together well.
