years ago i always used to complain when my dad watched it b/c i didn't think it was good at all. but now i absolutely love it. it makes me smile. it makes me laugh. it makes me cry. it is just a very well written show. i have finally realized why i love Fraiser so much now. it is b/c i can see me in a lot of this show.
first, it is the psychology aspect of it that draws me in. Fraiser and Niles are always using their psychology wherever the go to help others and themselves. Fraiser will say something in his radio show and i will think to myself "wow.. that is incredibly true" and i'll write down notes for reference later on. i want to know as much as i can that leads to understanding of myself and others. i am a developer and want to help people better themselves all the time. i even want to help people when they don't want to help themself. but through it all, i can always learn something new while watching this show and that is a reason i'm drawn to Fraiser.
secondly, Niles and Daphne. if you have ever watched the show you know what i'm talking about. and if so, then you know how i relate to them so i'm not gonna go into the details. even though sometimes watching the show brings things back and makes me a little sad (although not), i usually learn something about my past that i haven't thought about before. and that's a good thing. i just think their story is beautiful.. Niles loving Daphne for 7 years even when there was no chance of them getting together but in the end, they did. my story probably won't end the same, but my story is just as, if not more, beautiful.
thirdly, Fraiser's relationship with Ros. their relationship is my favorite part of the show. they only got together once but they realized it was a mistake. but besides that, they were just best friends with no strings attached. one of the best friends portrayal i hvae seen on tv. they have so much chemistry and make me laugh all the time. i have a few best friends and some of them are guys. i mean i can't deny that it hasn't crossed my mine of being more than friends with a few of them. but like Ros said in one of tonight's episodes, "did you ever think that there is something special about not being picked?" I just loved that line. there is something special about being close to a person without having a relationship. there is something special about being the person they can always depend on.. someone who will always be there for you. I have always prided myself on being a good friend. My friends tell me I am one and everyday I try to be the best friend and person i can be.
i know i know.. i just compared my life to a tv-show and that may seem crazy. but everything makes me think, especially a show about psychology. but hey.. i have time and i wanted to write but not about my boring day at work. haha.. just goes to show that i'm full of surprises ;)
