How come I remember who Eric Lutes is, but not this other guy from that show that you all seem to like so much?
And whatever happend to Eric Lutes.
Eric had a wonderful guest appearance on "Frasier" before he began co-starring on "Caroline in the city". He was the new station manager and was "out". Roz had the scoop and wanted to let Frasier know, but Frasier (as was his habit) began waxing on and on about him, so Roz allowed Frasier to innocently set up a date with the guy.
The whole dinner -- with Frasier, Daphne (whom Frasier thought he was helping by setting her up with the station manager), Martin and Niles. A very, very funny episode....and one in which Daphne had some fun with a strapless dress and a wired bra that was priceless.
I'm not sure if you mean Malcolm Gets as the guy everyone remembers. He was the meticulous, fussy, curly-haired blond guy who Caroline hired to color her comic strips. He, of course, was a "serious" artist and was always snooty-snoots over stuff. They did develop his character to fall in love with Caroline...but to have another girlfriend, too., etc., etc.
I wasn't fond of either lead. Love the neighbor, loved Lutes as the boyfriend, and loved "Charlie", the messenger guy usually on rollerblades.
