Such a great show! I never watched DH PIerce in his own "persona" before, and I can almost forget that he "is" Niles. Perfect casting throughout (including Eddie), wonderful writing. The golden days of TV sitcoms.
This show was great I remember one time I was stuck at a radio station for 3 months, night's and day's because of a lighting storm that had damaged almost everything and in the few breaks I would always put this show on and they kept me going and became my family in those long hard days.
He's right when he says it's the right people that make it happen. I wouldn't watch it if any of the cast was missing, just like all the other sitcoms. The characters make the whole story , and replacing them would be like replacing a family member.
