I'm Listening
I’ve been sort of binge re-watching Frasier the last few weeks. Not watching it daily. Maybe three days out of the week and then about four episodes max per day. I definitely watched it when it was originally airing, was something my family watched, but it wasn’t appointment viewing the way other NBC shows in the 90s were. I’m even just old enough to remember watching the last few seasons of Cheers with my family and catching the reruns of the earlier seasons on TV at the same time.
My ex-wife is a big fan of the show. She would have it play on Netflix a lot, mostly in the background while she was working from home or doing other stuff. So I have seen quite a bit of the series recently through that exposure. But I’m paying closer attention this time around. It’s an easy watch. Very charming.
I don’t remember ever having a crush on the character Roz when I was younger. Always liked the character plenty, but not a crush. It’s interesting because I was very prone to TV/Movie crushes growing up (let’s be honest that never went away) and yet I never had a thing for any of the leads on Frasier, Friends, Seinfeld or really any of those Must See TV shows. I enjoyed the shows and characters but was never into any of them that way. I guess I was more focused on actresses from ABC Daytime Soaps and dramas on the WB.
Of course now as I’m watching Frasier and I find myself very much attracted to Roz. She’s funny, independent, honest, loyal, and good at her job. And in a recent episode she wore a grey pencil skirt with black leggings and black leather jacket over her blouse. Always she was missing was a choker and it would have been a perfect vision of the look I was in love with in 1994 (again who am I kidding I am still in love with that look and totally on board with some of the 90s fashions currently resurfacing).
Did I really just write four (five counting this one) paragraphs on the inner-workings of my psyche as I re-watch a TV series that has been off the air for over a dozen years? I need a fucking life in the most major way.
