We don't have a Frasier thread?

Well, we will especially need one if the proposed reboot comes to fruition!

https://deadline.com/2018/07/frasier-reboot-explored-kelsey-grammer-cbs-tv-studios-1202432451/

Anyone else hope for dark and gritty Frasier reboot like so many other franchises?

It's revealed that Bulldog ended up killing Martin Crane.

Maris was Niles split personality and everyone was just going along with him the whole time to keep him from snapping.

Oh man - the Niles and Norman Bates parallels are incredible. Should I call the network and/or Kelsey Grammar and pitch this?

One of my all-time favorite sitcoms. I still watch reruns on Netflix from time to time. I'm fine with a reboot even if Martin passed away. They better get Roz back!

The opening shot of the series is a close up of Frasier's face and he looks serious, like he's about to do something important.

Then he puts on a big goofy-looking elephant head and the camera zooms out to show that he's giving a speech at a convention for furries in San Antonio, Texas. He's been trying to find new and unique ways to get over the fact that his wife left him for Niles. She'll only make guest appearances though, played by a different Kardashian sister each time. Having fans guess which Kardashian will show up will be good for ratings, imo.

Unfortunately Kelsey strong-armed the producers into including his politics this time around, so Ben Carson is gonna have to make a couple of guest spots as the doctor who took Frasier's old radio host job when he got fired for losing his shit over the Kardashians.

coming soon to the wwe network.

It should just be shot from the POV of Martin's empty chair with dialog muffled by the occasional ass.

Maybe the Frasier reboot will take place in Boston in a bar where everyone knows your name.

I've been watching Cheers finally for the first time and Frasier feels like a completely different character from his tv show at times. Still a great character, but the Fraiser with Niles would never pal up with Woody, Norm, and Cliff.

The real twist will be when they do a Cheers reunion and he shows up in his BEAST makeup

Also, was very sold on Valeyard’s pitch until I was told it was only OCCASIONAL ass. Go full or go home imo

That just goes back to my Jane Leeves fixation at a young age. I want to relive my youth via boney British ass, yet don't want to lose the narrative that my current self would care about somewhat.

I also would demand Bebe Neuwirth be around because that love never goes away.

They also gotta bring back Frederick, right? First episode is Frasier and Lillith getting ready for Freddy's wedding and all the hijynx that ensue from it.

Love Paramount Plus aggressive takeover of the boomer audience. Yellowstone, Bar Rescue and Frasier 2.0 ALL DAY EVERY DAY.

That looks quite bad. Going by Cheers cannon Freddy would be in his mid 30s or so.

Maybe he is content to not go back to a character he portrayed for over a decade and presumably financially benefited from to the point he isn’t driven to do it again.


Also, very likely he couldn’t stomach the idea of being around Kelsey Grammar again.

My love of the Cheersverse can't accept this as a canon revival.

Yup, still a thing.

Honestly though, I would up watching the first season and enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.
