The Cranes might be the smartest family in TV history. At least in sitcom history. In terms of sheer brain power, the "Big Bang Theory" crew certainly have them beat, but Kelsey Grammer's Frasier, his brother Niles (David Hyde Pierce), and ex-wife Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) -- all psychologists -- command a ferocious amount of cultural and academic intellect between them. Heck, add the intuitive prowess of Niles' wife Daphne (Jane Leeves) and the street smarts of the boys' father Martin (John Mahoney) into the mix and you've got a meeting at the minds that could test the very mettle of Mensa.
Across the original series' eleven seasons, Frasier's and Niles' intellects were frequently used as the immovable objects that story plots wound around, crashed into, undercut, and attempted to outpace to generate laughs. The Crane boys were so smart, so many episodes contended, that they would find themselves blithely...

Daisy Ridley is contemplating death. Well, not actual death — but the escape from the mundanities of corporate office culture because, really, aren’t we all?
The “Star Wars” actress leads the indie “Sometimes I Think About Dying,” which debuted at Sundance 2023. In the film, Ridley plays Fran, a woman who daydreams while at work and thinks about interesting ways to die. When a new coworker (Dave Merheje) tries to connect with her, though, Fran realizes there is more to life than its inevitable fatal end. Meg Stalter, Parvesh Cheena, Marcia DeBonis, and Brittany O’Grady round out the cast.
Director Rachel Lambert helms her sophomore feature, following her debut film “In the Radiant City,” which was produced by Jeff Nichols. Lead actress Ridley also serves as a producer on “Sometimes I Think About Dying,” along with fellow producers Alex Saks, Dori Rath, Lauren Beveridge, and Brett Beveridge.

Daisy Ridley stars as Fran, an introverted young woman whose life consists of cubicle-dwelling during the work week and sticking around home on the weekends, in Sometimes I Think About Dying.

In addition to Ridley, the indie drama’s cast includes Dave Merheje, Parvesh Cheena, Marcia DeBonis, Meg Stalter, and Brittany O’Grady. Rachel Lambert directed from a screenplay by Kevin Armento, Stefanie Abel Horowitz, and Katy Wright-Mead.

When Robert starts to work at the same company, Fran begins to tread the uncertain path toward building a connection with a stranger.

Any actor will tell you, finding a character’s literal voice is a challenge in itself. British actress Daisy Ridley has utilized her natural accent in the land of “Star Wars” as well as the adaptation of “Murder on the Orient Express,” but in her latest feature, “Sometimes I Think About Dying” which debuted at Sundance on Friday, this was an opportunity to craft a different voice.
Ridley plays Fran, a quiet office worker who discovers a new lease on life when she makes a fellow coworker laugh. The moment sparks something between the pair, if Fran can get out of her own way. The character presented a variety of challenges for Ridley, who stopped by TheWrap’s Portrait and Video Studio at The Music Lodge alongside costars Parvesh Cheena, Dave Merheje and Brittany O’Grady to discuss the film.
Ridley explained how the last three projects she’s worked on have involved an American accent,...

Fran is the sort of person neighbors would describe to reporters as quiet and kept to themselves after the discovery of a basement full of dead bodies. Robert is the guy people are just drawn to, a decent man who you feel has been a part of your friend group for years even though you just met him. In typical films, these two would have a meet cute and Fran would ultimately transform from a colorless caterpillar into a stunning butterfly. A happily ever after would follow. The End. But, thankfully, Sometimes I Think About Dying is anything but typical.
Fran (Daisy Ridley) works in a nondescript office that could be anywhere in the world at any time in modern history. There’s nothing that distinguishes it from a million other offices around the globe.

Even Daisy Ridley gets starstruck seeing The Mandalorian himself, Pedro Pascal. Despite bringing the story of Rey to a conclusion in “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” Ridley says she still watches and enjoys some of the expanding “Star Wars” stories being told in TV on Disney+.
“I haven’t watched all of them, but it’s just because of timing and stuff like that. But yeah, I mean the work everyone’s doing is amazing,” Ridley told TheWrap at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival in support of her new film “Sometimes I Think About Dying.”
“I worked with Pedro Pascal and I was like, ‘This is really cool; he’s The Mandalorian.’ I still find it all very exciting.”
As the conversation turned to “Star Wars,” Ridley’s “Sometimes I Think About Dying” co-star Parvesh Cheena surprised her with the news that he has a voice performance in the upcoming third season of “The Mandalorian.

At this point, it’s a given that we’re living in the “golden age” of television; somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 new scripted series drop each year. With so much to choose from, that means TV can get daring, specific, and sometimes, weird as hell. Superheroes trapped inside an I Love Lucy pastiche? A creepy animatronic doll calling a murderous game of Red Light, Green Light? In the era of peak TV, grade-a oddity is only a mouse-click away.
But no show in 2021 is more weirdly specific — and specifically weird — than Centaurworld.

Viewers will soon lose their, well, connection to Connecting.
NBC has pulled the pandemic-produced comedy from its Thursday schedule with immediate effect, confirming that the series has been canceled.
No more episodes will air on NBC, but the final four are set to air on NBCUniversal's streaming service, Peacock in the future.
The good news here is that Peacock has a free offering, but it will all come down to whether Peacock makes these episodes available free.
The series was filmed remotely during the coronavirus pandemic, and followed a group of friends who were forced by quarantine restrictions to only spend time together via video chat.
The series opener took place on March 29, 2020, at the very beginning of the lockdown.
The cast included Otmara Marrero (StartUp), Parvesh Cheena (Outsourced), Ely Henry (Suburgatory) and Keith Powell (30 Rock).
Blindspot’s Martin Gero served as co-creator and executive producer.

Connecting has lost its connection… and they can’t even blame it on a faulty wi-fi. NBC has pulled the pandemic comedy from its Thursday night time slot, the network confirmed on Monday, effectively cancelling it after one season. The remaining four episodes “will air solely on Peacock and NBC.com,” per a network source; Superstore encores will take its place on Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c.

NBC has pulled its socially distant comedy “Connecting” from its primetime lineup.
The series will air its final four episodes on Peacock and NBC.com. It had been airing on Thursday nights at 8:30 p.m. Episodes of “Superstore” will air in its place through Nov. 19.
“Connecting…” debuted to a paltry 0.3 rating among adults 18-49 and just 1.6 million total viewers earlier this month. That makes it the least-watched new series premiere on broadcast thus far this fall. It was boosted in its second week by the Trump Town Hall on NBC as its lead-in but fell again after that.
“Connecting” was an ensemble comedy about a group of friends trying to stay close (and sane) through video chats during the Covid-19 pandemic. It starred Otmara Marrero, Preacher Lawson, Shakina Nayfack, Parvesh Cheena, Ely Henry, Jill Knox and Keith Powell.
