ABC cancels Alec Baldwin & Kelsey Grammer before it even airs

I know it has Alec Mapa, but it just sounds bland and uninteresting. Both he and ABC can find better projects that don't waste their time, and hopefully others will realize this. We don't need two homophobes using a sitcom to try and trick people into thinking they're allies and all "woke." It didn't work for Debra Messing either, boys. Pack it up and retire.

When has Conservative Republican Grammer tried to trick people into thinking he's a gay ally and "all woke?"

How is KG a homophobe. He did a sitcom with two gays for many years so he's obviously not that homophobic.

Grammer isn't even a little bit of a homophobe. Baldwin, however, has been a real bastard over the years and has used gay slurs. Of course his wife will just cover for him by spinning some yarn about his background that is completely false.

The Frasier episode where he goes into the gay bar wearing his brother's tiny, white shorts is hilarious.

Grammer is a homophobe if he's a Conservative Republican, which he PROUDLY IS.

Or maybe Grammer and Baldwin were just jealous that Mapa looked a decade younger? Because he is.

Omg, that would have been amazing, R15. But in this day and age there would be a million hit pieces about having straight actors in gay roles. Not to mention two white leads.

This was from the creators of Modern Family, so for ABC to have killed it after seeing the pilot means it really must have sucked.

Multi-camera sitcom.

Will there be a laugh track, too?

The audience for that is geriatric at this point, and it seems even nostalgia isn't going to endear them to Grammar and Baldwin.

Where do they go after being rejected by ABC, ffs?

a show like this would have been sooooooo expensive. so if it wasnt working its easier to cancel before it goes to film an entire season. plus ABC has chance to get some money back if it gets picked up elsewhere.

R26 My sister is one of those weirdos who loves true crime. She said that the murder of Grammar's sister is "one of five or six things" that truly disturbed her. Now, my sister has been weird and morbid since she was a kid, so that's saying something.

Grammar claims he’s a libertarian and thought there should be no gay marriage because no marriage should have to be sanctioned by the government . Of course he himself got legally married at least 3 times.

Baldwin has been an LGBT ally forever

Seriously. My Boomer parents, aunts and uncles are the only people I know who still watch network sitcoms. That Kyra Sedgwick show looks like a time warp from the 90s.

I don't get it -- wasn't social media all afire last couple of months with Grammer planning to front a "Frasier" revival of sorts on Netflix, or somewhere? Such a big announcement not happening must've been actually a teaser to see what the feedback would sound like. [Crickets...]

I'm actually shocked that NBC is not jumping on a "Frasier" revival given what a great success the show was for the network all those years. Heck, they did the "W&G" revival, so why not "Frasier"?

R20, not to mention that James Burrows directed it; the man directed every single episode of WIll & Grace; there were some gems in the revival like Three Wise Men in which Grace came to realize she'd slept with a grandfather (Barry Bostwick), father, and son.

they all kept saying they'd been with the prettiest girl and not being able to take it anymore, Grace yelled out: "I"M THE PRETTIEST GIRL!!! IT"S MEEEEE"

Hilarious.

Last check it was happening on "Paramount+" (still in development) and the last update I saw was three months ago.

[quote]Grammer isn't even a little bit of a homophobe.

He's such a strange case. He's not a homophobe and he actually went ahead and produced two shows with black actors/actresses on them and black creators writing them, "The Game" and "Girlfriends."

But he's still a Republican and he still supported Trump in 2019 and that severely poisons is rep for me. Even Patricia Heaton, who is also a Republican, managed to openly despise him. (Also by supporting the Republican party under Trump he also supported all of their ideals including racism and homophobia but no one has had that discussion with him yet, it seems.)

Back when Grammer was being asked his thoughts on the Tea Party years ago, a reporter asked if he was against gay marriage because they are. He said he isn't against it, and marriage should be between two people who love each other, but the funny part was it seemed like he didn't do any reading into what they were about.

by Anonymousreply 62April 25, 2021 8:35 AM

I’m betting the network just got cold feet about spending so much money on a show starring two over the hill actors - even if the pilot was decent.

The double whammy of being 1) too old and 2) too expensive will do you in almost every time.

I can see why it got hype. I mean, Baldwin was funny on 30 Rock and Frazier was reasonably entertaining.

As far as a premise goes, this isn't actually all that bad sounding. I would have watched the first episode to check it out.

Maybe Grammer and Heaton can give it another go with "Back to You," which lasted half a season on Fox.
