I used to have this very funny, but misplaced it
Joe Pinoni is a world-famous opera singer, but because of an accident while pumping his stomach in Italy, he will never be able to sing again. Having squandered all of his money and lost all of his friends, Joe returns home to his mother, sister and nephew, who run a vineyard

ONE SEASON WONDERS: Encore! Encore! (https://benjamonsterstv.blogspot.com/2023/03/one-season-wonders-encore-encore.html)

Brief Pilot Review:

This pilot seemed to show how Frasier could have gone horribly wrong (even with some of the same names involved). It was a show that tried to be highbrow but wasn't actually. The setting and Nathan Lane's character were very stuffy and highbrow but the show was just a standard sitcom with standard sitcom jokes. It shows how well Frasier pulled off its farce style with highbrow characters. I think that's because they misunderstood Nathan Lane's brand of humor and how best to make him funny. Lane is a naturally funny person but he does best with broad comedy, that's what makes him such a great stage actor. The role he had in this show didn't work for that because the character didn't seem to make sense for Lane aside from being a singer (and it wasn't like he was going to sing since the character's vocal chords were shot).
