We have our own car-puking, counter-surfing, dive-bombing, 75 pound bull in a china shop shepherd mix. Here he is with our other dog, who has provided a year-long apprenticeship program to teach him some other bad habits.

At a glance, it's nice to get SF's #12 prospect (Fangraphs as of January) for an "other prospect of note". But just reading the writeups on them, you'd think Martin is the more highly regarded guy.

I found some scuttlebutt that NBC/Paramount may have pitched Harrelson on staying as the post-Danson lead of Cheers and were obviously rebuffed. I also forgot about the original pitch for a Grammer post-Cheers sitcom.
![Grammer did not originally want to continue playing Frasier Crane, and Angell, Casey and Lee did not want the new show to be compared to Cheers, which they had worked on before Wings. The three proposed that the actor play a wealthy, Malcolm Forbes-like paraplegic publisher who operated his business from his apartment. The main show featured a "street-smart" Hispanic live-in nurse who would clash with the main character.[25] While Grammer liked the concept, Paramount Television disliked it, and suggested that the best route would be to spin off the Frasier Crane character.[25] Grammer ultimately agreed to star in a Cheers spin-off, but the producers set the new show as far from Boston as possible to prevent NBC from demanding that other characters from the old show make guest appearances on the new show during its first season.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ub2uy6bwwofdo5nsuahwfyv2/bafkreibl7etfk3rc25q4pjfvatfxvagbyzokrk2kz4kpunavlk3vpkmqda@jpeg)
