    For anyone who enjoyed the Eurovision Styled Secondchance Showdowns at the end of Round 1, I'm hosting a Music Constest based on that if anyone is interested...

    Yeah saw that yesterday. Meant to post it in here, but slipped my mind

    He had a good age anyway, as my Granny would say

    Rest In Peace

    Was Maris ever shown?

    RIP Sam he played Ted also in Cougar Town


    No, she joined the unseen wives club along with Mrs Columbo, Mrs Arfur Daley and Mrs Mainwearing.
    There probably isn't an actress thin enough to play her.

    Niles has to be in it or it’s not worth doing imo- those guys bouncing off each other was the core to the show

    He was such a brilliant part of it, and Eddie of course.
    I remember reading that in real life, he didn't like the dog at all!

    Yeah Martin is great too. The whole cast of Frasier were perfect.

    Considering this is Greatest character, I'd put a vote in for Maris. It's a work a genius to have a character who is never onscreen in a sitcom, because you can say anything about them. Some great Maris moments that spring to mind:
    Daphne: So where is she now?
    Martin: They're holding her as a flight risk.
    Niles: Can you imagine?
    Martin: Well, it didn't help that when they found her, she had a passport, a wig, and $10,000 in her purse.
    Niles: Maris always has those things in her purse.
    Frasier: I must say, Niles, that is a striking tie you're wearing.
    Niles: Thank you. It was a gift from Maris. She had it made for me to commemorate the end of that dreadful winter she had her obesity scare.
    Frasier: Oh, yes. I remember her struggle to lose that holiday pound.
    Niles: After she'd restored her figure, she had Yoshi set fire to a hippopotamus topiary she felt had taunted her. Then, as a visual reminder never to let herself go again, she had this tie made for me out of the legs of her fat pants.
    Niles: It was Maris.
    Frasier: Maris?!
    Niles: I haven't spoken to her for months. She says she needs to see me.
    Frasier: About what?
    Niles: I don't know. She was hysterical. I haven't heard her this panicked since her strength gave out halfway through a revolving door.
    Niles: Disaster again. Maris's little wine club had an outing to the local vineyard. As the new president, she had the honor of being first into the stomping vat. You can imagine her humiliation when she danced herself into a barefoot fury and was unable to break even a single grape.
    Daphne: Oh, Martin, look at you. Sitting in your chair all sour and grumpy.
    Ronee: You must be drunk in this picture, Niles. You've got your arm around a floor lamp.
    Niles: Oh, no, that's Maris in her Easter hat.
