I remember seeing an episode of Frasier not long after September 11 which though it had been screened in the US prior to 9/11, the end of the episode was specially amended, I assume in coordination with the producers, to have a memorial message to David & Lynn Angell, which was heartbreaking.<br /><br />RIPHamidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-36209613253278823972013-09-11T08:48:48.198-07:002013-09-11T08:48:48.198-07:00Thanks, Philip B.

Some local media folk were wondering if we need to do any memorials, that we should have moved past the event. I hope that we never do move past 9/11 memorials -- we need to remember what happened every year.PatGLexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096165411868967151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-85317989891134820972013-09-11T07:08:54.041-07:002013-09-11T07:08:54.041-07:00We've been rewatching Frasier on Netflix and a...We've been rewatching Frasier on Netflix and after a recent episode the end credits ran over a shot of the darkened set of Frasier's living room.

...I love that you run this every year. Thank you.<br /><br />Not too long after 9/11 someone ran a full page ad in VARIETY honoring David & Lynn and it included a Tennyson quote that I can never find. But it was so beautiful and so right. I have searched the web countless times and leafed through lots of Tennyson collections since looking for the quote and I still can't find it. If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate the help.Richard Rothrockhttp://www.richardrothrock.comnoreply@blogger.com
