Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 07:48:29 GMT

(CNN) — Almost four decades after he first appeared on television screens, Frasier Crane is back–and he’s basically the same, albeit with a new skyline.The first full trailer for the reboot of the hit ’90s sitcom “Frasier” was released by Paramount+ on Thursday, offering more details of the series, which sees Kelsey Grammer return to play the titular character 30 years after the original show first aired.Set in Boston, the city in which the world was first introduced to Frasier, the trailer shows him attempting to reconnect with his now adult son Freddy, played by Jack Cutmore-Scott, and moving from Seattle in the hope of mending their relationship.But, in keeping with Frasier’s character, it proves difficult, as the pompous psychiatrist arrives at his son’s house unannounced and later forbids him to sit on a couch covered with expensive Christian Lacroix cushions.Scenes from the new trailer also show Frasier sitting in a bar, drinking beer, and feeling “amalgamated with the hoi pol...

Adam Jones’ on-field mark in Baltimore came in center field at Camden Yards. But it’s in the opposite direction from home plate that Jones has twice cemented the city as his “second home.”Inside the ballpark’s auxiliary clubhouse — the same room he signed a then-franchise-record contract extension in 2012 — Jones officially retired with the Orioles on Friday, as he and executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias each signed four pages of a one-day contract.Jones, 38, spent 11 of his 14 major league seasons with Baltimore before ending his playing career with two seasons in Japan. He ranks among the franchise leaders in several categories, hitting more home runs at Camden Yards than any other batter and serving as a team leader during the Orioles’ most successful run of the past quarter century.“Baltimore has a special part in my heart,” Jones said. “I still consistently watched Orioles games everywhere I w...

European regulators slapped TikTok with a $368 million fine on Friday for failing to protect children’s privacy, the first time that the popular short video-sharing app has been punished for breaching Europe’s strict data privacy rules.Ireland’s Data Protection Commission, the lead privacy regulator for Big Tech companies whose European headquarters are largely in Dublin, said it was fining TikTok 345 million euros and reprimanding the platform for the violations dating to the second half of 2020.The investigation found that the sign-up process for teen users resulted in settings that made their accounts public by default, allowing anyone to view and comment on their videos. Those default settings also posed a risk to children under 13 who gained access to the platform even though they’re not allowed.English soccer club Everton to be bought by American investment firm 777 PartnersAmerican investors just can’t seem to get enough of the Premier League.Eve...
