i wonder why..

[peter may]

the cast seem to keep quite alow profile these days

you never ever hear about what Crystal, Rebecca, David, and Thomas are up to.

Anyone know the latest??

I know that Tim, Steve and Tony all have had shows recently.

i just finished watching the sitcom "Three Sisters" (which is also a great show), and it was mentioned that Crystal Bernard performs at the Hollywood Bowl, anyone know any info on this?

I think it's due to the fact that Wings wasn't all that critically-acclaimed a TV show It's always about who the critics like.

I personally think if it weren't for the TV critics, Ray Romano wouldn't have a career (Sorry, but while I used to love his show, I think he's one of the worst actors and comedians out there.)

Yeah I hate ray romano aswell - his voice grates on me big time. and his raymond show sucks.

It's not popular here at all in the UK, its aired on cable, and on normal tv only at 8am weekdays, so i never get to see it thankfully.

I used to like "Raymond" but the only characters I really found funny are the mother and brother. It should have ended at least three seasons ago, IMHO. I think it's very over-rated. I thought it was funny for a little while, but it got old. I can only see the same jokes repeated so many times. I can't watch the reruns like I can with other shows.

I really have tried to watch this show, quite a few times, and I just don't see why it's so popular. Ray Romano was never one of my favorite comedians, anyway. Then again, I never was one for Jerry Seinfeld's stand-up act but then eventually I warmed up to his show, and watched it every week for the last few seasons. I have nothing against any of the actors in Raymond. In fact, I've always liked Doris Roberts & Peter Boyle(Young Frankenstein is one of my favorite movies), but when I try to watch Raymond, all I see is Debra getting mad at Ray for his goofy self, Robert yelling at Ray & Marie, and Marie & Frank always ragging on each other. Have these 2 ever said anything nice to each other the whole time this show was on? I guess that's the whole appeal--the cranky couple. But even though, Ralph Kramden and Archie Bunker treated their wives pretty bad at times, you knew that deep down they did love their wives and once in a while, you'd see their soft side. How many times have you heard Ralph yell at Alice, then next, say "Baby, you're the greatest".

As for Peter's question, wasn't Crystal on the show with Jim Belushi & Courteney Thorne-Smith? I think it's called According to Jim. Or was it that show with Jami Gertz? I don't know, I don't watch, either. Well, Crystal was on one of those shows last year, for an episode. As far, as anything consistent, I haven't seen her in anything. I think we talked about this before, but didn't she decide for put acting on the back burner and focus more on her music?

The last thing I saw Rebecca in was an episode of Frasier.
I just saw Thomas in George of the Jungle 2. I caught it on the Disney Channel a few weeks back while channel surfing.
Haven't seen David in a thing!!

Yup, that describes just about every episode of the series I'll never understand how this show can be so popular while a show like Wings, which has great writing and characters who are actually LIKABLE, gets ignored and treated like garbage.

Yeah, she made a guest appearance on According to Jim. She was one of Jim's ex-girlfriends. I'd love to see her do another sitcom. She was brilliant as Helen. She definitely should have won an Emmy for her role. They all should have.
