@Carter Atwell He was also...fickle when it came to the people he officially liked. He would tell a secret of Fran's or Max's in a heartbeat if there was something in it for him, and he completely turned on Fran occasionally.
@@MilkandCookies92,my mother may have seen the show,but given how little she knew to speak English(we speak Spanish in our home),and how dependent I was on her knowledge,it took me years(I'd say 7,starting from 2012 to 2019) to finally get some of the jokes-she's now fluent in English,for the most part-,though some jokes still challenge my knowledge to this day.
@@BelmontClan "Niles and CC Moments" is not the same thing as "Burns." A compilation of burns/insults doesn't include the moments where they're getting along, or after the start their relationship.
Niles and CC made the show together. They were the show. I love their banters and shading st each other. And even when they ended up together they still came at each other with their shades and banters but in their cute way. Lol.
@@jessicalillianweinberg4401 True; Maxwell and Fran were inevitable and forseeable and quickly grew boring. CC and Niles kept each other on their toes with wits and banter, whereas Fran often had the social grace of a drunk rhino and cause Maxwell problems because she was way out of her league.
Niles was the unsung hero of this series, and C.C had just the right amount of sass for his wit. Without these two, the show wouldn’t have been as much of a success as it is.
@@akbarrmd7714 I think their personalities are more alike than Fran and Max's, and the scene I referenced above shows that - they both laugh about CC keeping an acceptance speech short by not thanking anyone. That's funny to both of them. It also kind of suggests that CC doesn't really have much of a facade for the public - at least, not a nice "proper" facade.
They left out the best part of that scene: Max and Fran walk in on them (note the front door conspicuously in frame), and after they come up for air, there's one last volley: CC: "Swine." Niles: "Chicken."
And the funny thing is, the guy who played Mr. Sheffield is actually British, and he got tons of letters in the beginning telling him to work on his British accent and be more like the guy who played Niles XD
These two are my favourite characters from the show. "What did used to do before I came a long" "my life was rather boring without you but now I have a hobby"
Cc: Well, aren't you gonna say anything? Niles: what? Because she said you thought I was gonna say something bout you not being a women? That is beneath me sir. And Fran was like😅😆
For most of the series there were indications about him not being physically strong or in good shape. Were they just jokes? He did have a heart attack at the end of season 4. Plus, there are three episodes in season 6 where he and CC are "seeing each other" and so blissfully happy they are different people (there is one where CC tells Fran what a great physical relationship she and Niles have)....actually the changes to their personalities take a lot of the wit out of the show. But in the finale they are more like the "old" Niles and CC, although together. I think the finale was actually shown (and perhaps written) before the episodes about their relationship, and there were some inconsistencies, so it felt like two different continuities.
So, he's probably physically stronger than we thought - maybe the lines about him being unfit physically are the same as the jokes about her being ugly - untrue.
He says, "You got me," but she really didn't? To be honest, that was one thing I didn't like about how they were written. With a relationship that's love-hate like this, it works better if they can both "get" each other. If one is winning all the time it feels more...mean. And Niles sometimes involved the kids in teasing CC, which doesn't seem right, especially since CC didn't have anyone to help her. That turned it into "everyone picks on CC" instead of "Beatrice and Benedick."
@@jessicalillianweinberg4401Not really, since CC wasnt that great to the kids either. If they'd just been randomly joining in it wouldve been more mean-spirited, but considering how she acted in the first few seasons (which is when most of the kids involvement took place) it makes sense.
Banter is one thing, but I didn't like some of the pranks...some of them seemed like he could actually be endangering her. Unless when he says he's done something, he's joking and hasn't really.
I know we were supposed to see CC as meaner earlier on and "softening up" over the years. But I actually often like her in the early clips, because she does seem...tougher. We see her sometimes really taking charge of the business, and either she "gets" Niles more, or, even if she doesn't, she doesn't seem upset by things she does. Because they used a stay at a mental health "place" to cover the actress' maternity leave, they had her be really upset by Niles in late season 5...but then they went back to how they were before, where it seemed more like a game.
How it exactly made sense? Niles was so mean to CC. Sometimes he even caused her injuries. CC was mean to him too but she never did anything to hurt him physically. And at the end we were supposed to believe that he did and said all of those nasty things because he was jealous of the fact that she wanted Mr. Shuffield? That ending was forced and very much out of place.
I think my favorite is when C.C. asks Niles for tea repeatedly and then when Maxwell walks in Niles offers it to C.C. and she yells at him and Maxwell is appalled.
You got that right. He was hilarious. He had some of the funniest one liners I've ever heard. They had a list of them on my tablet. The 25 funniest ones. Hysterical.
Niles and CC's rivalry is iconic! They're basically the 90's version of Sue Ann Nivens and Murray Slaughter from Mary Tyler Moore. Btw could you do something with their sparring matches @COZI TV ?
Max and Fran's different personalities and constant clashing do make me question their ending up together. They seem to have that "enemies to lovers" thing going on, too, in a way. But I am not really sure CC was more compatible with Max than Fran was. I think she was actually much looser than Max, too, considering some of the things she and Niles do together.
@@Dhark0rion Fran made a lot of mistakes that cost Maxwell money and / or business opportunities or deals or relationships. She did things that got (often important) people he was trying to work with upset. It's almost odd that he still falls in love with her. And very often, it was CC who had originally gotten that person to consider some kind of deal with Maxwell. CC is famous for being mean...but she actually seemed good at developing business relationships.
As I got older I realized that Niles and C.C carried the series. This show wouldn’t have survived very long nor be as memorable if these two didn’t exist.
thank you very much , CC and Niles are really the most hilarious characters of the show. I would have added the scene with "the old nipples" in my favourite moments, but there are so many...!
