Best part is you can hear Spiner call upon this exact same character voice in Star Trek in the one episode where Data has started intermittently taken on a southern accent, particularly in the one scene where Spot keeps jumping on his command console and he finally puts the cat down saying "Vamoose ya lil' varmint!"

Sugarsmaxx You think so? I think he’s gotten a ton. The reason there were so many episodes in TNG where he got to step out of the Data character was because the producers wanted to show his acting skills off. All those TNG actors were Shakespearean pros and I remember my friends talking about that as 10-year-olds when the show was new. If we knew how good they were at that age, then surely plenty of people are aware of how good Spiner and his peers are and were.

I dunno. There's a lot to appreciate in Data.

He just perfected the art of conveying a hell of a lot with subtly and restraint on a level a lot of actors couldn't pull off.

What I loved about Night Court was how you could see the jokes coming a mile away, and yet it somehow made it funnier when they arrived.

His delivery and timing are fantastic! What an actor!

"Mother always said, 'It's always darkest just before the dawn.' Burned her retinas out, starin' into a solar eclipse." Bob Wheeler is one of the greatest comic characters ever written, and Brent Spiner's delivery is perfect! Of course, it helps to be in a room full of other great comedians who are willing to play the "Oliver Hardy" role in order to set up and respond to Spiner's "Stan Laurel" type character. I've always said that the best way to truly understand any actor's ability is to watch them in three different roles. In addition to the multiple, related roles Brent Spiner played on TNG, THIS role really helps to highlight the breadth of his skill set.

I never knew Brent Spiner was so funny. Seeing him in Star Trek, he could act. But never knew he did comedy too. And then to upstage Harry Anderson too.

Never seen this show before, but I was immediately blown away by all the straight-faced delivery!

Damn, how did we go from that comedy gold to what we have today. Man I miss the '80s.

There was also a lot of crap in the 1980s. Honestly I think the human race peaked in the 1990s. Specifically, 1993. That was the year. The focal point of it all. And the moment humanity jumped the shark. All downhill from there.

@@ronaldshank7589 There was all of that in the 1980's too. Night Court had all of that except the cursing in pretty much every episode. The John Larroquette character did little more than chase women and tell double entendre jokes. The extras in the courtroom always included young actresses dressed as hookers. And there was nothing wrong with that. If dirty jokes and boobs gets eyeballs on screens to keep the ratings up so the smart humor can be done more power to them. The problem with too many shows over the years is acting like doing a smart show excludes doing a show that will get good ratings.

I used to watch this show with my parents as a kid in the 80's, but I'm not sure if I saw this episode, so I didn't know what to expect. Being an avid Star Trek TNG fan I have to say I am now even more impressed by his role of Data having seen him in this one. Also, the more I think about it, I may have seen this over 30 years ago. Fuzzy memory.

@@kendallrivers1119 Friends appealed to the lowest common denominator, meaning lots of crude body humor, one-dimensional, braindead and/or borderline psychotic characters and the comedy comfortably seated in a non stop rain of one-liners and catch phrases. Frasier was far more intelligent and genuinely witty, with the comedy coming from the actual situations the characters found themselves in (which is the sit- in sit-com) and often the funniest scenes involved very little dialogue. The characters are so well written and developed that all they have to do is look at each other for a moment to get the entire joke out. More simply, Friends is the kind of show that spells everything out for the audience, making it easy for low-IQ people to "get it", whereas Frasier makes the viewer have to think about the joke, which the average TV watcher doesn't want to do.

@kendallrivers1119

4 жыл бұрын

@Dargonhuman And from all the interviews I've read or watched from various cast members and writers\producers etc. that was the exact intention Frasier as a show had. To do what they called 10 percenter jokes which is not being afraid to do jokes that only 10 percent of the audience would get but having the confidence that the other 90 would laugh at something else because the show was very, very layered. Frasier was intelligent and sophisticated but also balanced that out with good old fashioned slapstick and the working class\quirky characters to balance out the two wealthy super intellectual psychiatrists Frasier and Niles. Very diverse in its humor and that's why truck drivers and other every day people laugh and love it as much as the intellectuals. Another brilliant sitcom I feel is underrated is Barney Miller, a superior sitcom to most of the lot indeed.

Who ever found that clip thank you! I loved Night Court......Brent Spiner was pricless.......I never made the connection he was in this show.

The one funny moment was the look on Judge Stone's face when they got the answer about the death of they're Grandmother 'She died peacefully in her sleep........on the railroad tracks'.
