I don&#8217;t think the show&#8217;s bad at all, it&#8217;s just different, but what bothers me about it, or what I can&#8217;t get is this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Why if Frasier&#8217;s father is American, and speaks with an American accent, why does Frasier and his brother Nyles speak and behave like British men, those hard T&#8217;s? This lead me to think that somehow the character was British and somehow his dad was in America while he and his brother grew up&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So I told my girlfriend about this &#8216;gear grinding&#8217; and she says that the charater is supposed to be an American that speaks properly&#8230; That only the maid (or Nyle&#8217;s wife) is the British one.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose People on the tv news speak proper American English, and they don&#8217;t pronounce the T&#8217;s like Frasier. Plus the way Nyles and Frasier behave, if it wasn&#8217;t for their characters dating women on the show, they&#8217;d be totally gay if they weren&#8217;t British (cause there&#8217;s this thing or stereotype with British men that allows them to be a bit affeminate, I think it&#8217;s the way they talk or something, they all seem so gay to me, so tidy and bitchy about everything &#8211; not that there&#8217;s anything wrong with that \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n<p>So, If anyone knows any facts about the story of these characters please let me know&#8230; I read somewhere on the internet that he was a British actor playing an american with a british accent&#8230; I need some light, these guys in some episodes speak with a strong english accent, but then on others they let out a few american softer T&#8217;s along the way\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Part of the title of this post has been taken from the Family Guy movie) You know what really grinds my gears?
