I always liked Frasier.  It was one of the very few spinoffs that did better than the original, and I think a large part of it was due to Marty Crane.

RIP

Not as well known, but he had a small part in a Cohen brothers film from '94 called the Hudsucker Proxy. Do yourself a favor and watch it. A film I enjoy stylistically, which helps along the rest of the enjoyment of the movie.

John Mahoney plays chief editor of the newspaper, who holds staff meetings where he smokes a cigar and throws fast questions at his reporters.

See this movie if for no other reason than the newsroom scenes, either between John Mahoney and Jennifer Jason Leigh, or the scenes between Jennifer and Bruce Campbell. Her 30's and 40's "transatlantic" inflections were incredibly well done.

Anyway, if you watch these newsroom scenes, you can see how Sam Raimi (one of the writers of this film) was just gearing up for creating a near perfect J. Jonah Jameson with J.K.Simmons in the Spider Man movies of the early 2000's

No? Nobody's seen Hudsucker Proxy?

Paul Newman
Charles Durning
Jennifer Jason Leigh
Tim Robbins
Bruce Campbell
And of course John Mahoney.
Really good stuff.
