>Frasier is getting a reboot
Why? Why is this necessary or even wanted? Who are they going to market it to, septuagenarians?
Why so many reboots of 20+ year old TV shows, movies, sitcoms, cartoons, dramas, etc? Nobody wants them and they always fare spectacularly poorly.
Are the studios just that creatively bankrupt?
I wouldn't mind a Frasier reboot if they could get most of the original cast and writers back, but they couldn't
Why stop there, lets soft reboot Cheers!
cheers era frasier was funnier than frasier era frasier because he was even more pathetic
>cheers era frasier was funnier than frasier era frasier
I agree, but my reasoning is that he's more consistent.
Cheersier is a quack. Frasier2 is sometimes confused, but sometimes has you pegged. not by Lilith
Is Frasier2 wise or a dipshit? It all depends on the episode.

Why even do something like this? It's so stupid, it's not even something a parodist would write in mockery. Thank dog there aren't any concrete plans to go through with it (yet).
Holy shit what happened to French Stewart?
Clamato addiction ruins lives.
Just glancing at the photo, I just assumed he was the director until I read this comment and scrolled back up.

He's also the only one who's israeli.
what would even be about? millennials are awfully boring and politically correct and zoomers don't drink
Isn't the guy playing Fraiser a racist? How did they get away recasting him?
Not gonna bother.
The fatigue is real, bros.
Its technically not a reboot. This just seems like a vanity project for Kelsey Grammer
damn I love smoking
More like
'I need cash holy frick the morgage on my mansion is due oh shit'
isnt that the blue homie in x men?
>the blue homie in x men
GET OUT
yes, Kelsey Grammer played "the blue homie" in x men
Bebe is the best side character
>that episode where Frasier fricks her and she walks around in Frasier's shirt the morning after.
It's not a reboot it's a sequel show. And it's pretty good.
I wouldn't say "pretty good", but its still better than what I expected.
>it's solid. grammer still got it as does the other old dude. the rest of the cast is non-existent though so if they want to save the show they got to bring in some comedic talent
I don't believe that's true. They're not going to reboot a show that they've only just revived.
The first episode was pretty decent, might be one of the better ones albeit pretty unnecessary
homie, the reboot came out a week ago
it was mid, it was bad compared to the original, but the original is an oddity itself
>new frasier
>It's not about a radio guy trying to navigate podcasting
lmao can't believe noboy thought of this
they'll probably do a podcast episode at least but to be fair podcasts are pretty gay and stupid, no mileage for a show there
Wouldn't have to actually be about podcasts. That's just the easy vehicle for "old man new world" shit. Good excuse to tie in him becoming more like Marty, etc.
how THE FRICK is this set in boston yet he doesnt hang out with his old buddies ALL the fricking time?
It has been multiple decades. You grow apart when you don't grow together.
They explored that on Frasier, whenever the Cheers characters visited him it was awkward and the moral of those stories was that they were friends for a time and place from which they have all moved on.
there's no way he wouldnt reconnect in boston. watch more cheers.
I can't see a world where Norm and Cliff are still alive. Diane is long gone. Carla is probably retired. Woody is a big success and wouldn't be hanging around the bar any more. The only people he'd even know at the bar are Sam if he's still working the bar himself, Rebecca, and possibly his ex-wife.
I dont understand the premise of some of these posts. 'Nobody wants to see them', 'who will they appeal to'.
Frasier had some of the best writing in the 90s. If you want to learn how to put a scene together, watch a good episode of Frasier.
Ive seen the first episode and it's got a solid framework. Grammar is actually very good in it. I don't think I would have gone the 'Frasier as academic celebrity' route so hard in the first episode. I'd also have introduced the kids differently.
This could have been a bit more entertaining than the Frasier scenario we have now. Imagine having Joe Rogan do an episode, either as himself, or as a character--he is an actor and was on news radio. It could have been crazy having him do a modern take on a Bulldog type character.
Being in Boston would also be a great excuse to bring comics on. He could be a frequent guest on a number of comics podcasts, just to give the character another space to inhabit and ground him a bit.
New Frasier is wild

Does anyone remember that one show that Grammar was on where he was some powerful guy with a heart problem? Was it any good? Why did it ger canceled?
Boss. Starz canned it because it was crazy expensive. First season is absolutely worth watching, second falls hard imo.
Does the first season at least have some kind of resolution?
It's hard to explain without massive spoilers. Both yes and no would be correct answers.

nobody pairs anything with chianti, chianti is cheap trash
if anything they'd pair it with chianti classico riserva or gran selezione
Cam Winston upstaged one of Frasier's parties for the last time.
Do you guys think Frasier ever called Winston the N word?
I think he did
People don’t like modern television, it’s soulless garbage so they try to bring back shows with soul and it doesn’t work. It’s not hard to comprehend why they do this. In my head the idea of a comfy show like Frasier coming back sounds terrific and in reality it will probably only make me sad to see how the cast has aged. When they brought the X-Files back years ago it was a huge success, so there’s that.
>Are the studios just that creatively bankrupt?
Yes
Its all about keeping people using your streaming service, so rebooting old schools might convince some people to carry on paying. Thats the idea anyway

kek, I was trying to figure out who he reminded me of the show besides the british version of niles. Thanks anon
I appreciate these continuation reboots trying to connect the new with the old but sadly it just don't hit right.
Like the Night Court reboot created a daughter for one of the main characters, have one actor return, tried to recreate the same character tropes but it just felt soulless.
Some old shows were all about the charm and natural chemistry of the cast.
You just can't throw a bunch of people on screen as stand ins for long passed actors and hope for it to work.
Even when you get the entire group back together, you're just as likely to get shit. It's like having a high school reunion and expecting the championship wrestling squad to bust out a tournament performance.
Why are people saying "reboot" about something that keeps the continuity intact and progresses the story? This is very frustrating to see.
I watched both episodes this weekend with my girlfriend. You know what we both talked about afterwards? It wasn't the show, it was the fact that in two episodes with four or so commercial breaks each, every single commercial was almost entirely black actors with a few asians and mixed race people thrown in. Not a single white male the entire time. We lold hard and talked about how probably the entire audience for Frasier is old white people and yet they run these commercials. I say all this as a mixed race dude myself.
Frasier is indeed a show for people in their fourties unless you watched it in one of the many reruns over the last 25 years.
you mean revival
no one wants futurama
no one wants more community
no one wants more x-files
it had its time and its place, if it died it died or just dont use it as another mouthpiece for some modern politik unless you want to continue its main plot mythos
I certainly want more of shows I love, but like you said without all the modern political bullshit. I don't understand why current writers are incapable of writing an episode of a show with the same quality it had in the past. Just make a fun/interesting episode that isn't full of social commentary. Is that really so hard?
I want the Community movie.
OP here, yes, yes, the Paramount+ show is a continuity. I mean reboots, remakes, and revivals. Also not specifically Frasier, I just used that to start the thread, but all the reboots, etc. going on today.
It's just a yiddish humiliation ritual, OP. Stop being moronic.
>humiliation ritual
I mean, I can see that for some franchises like Ghostbusters or Star Dreck, but some of these other ones feel like they're trying to make money on it, like (I almost feel sorry for mentioning it) the Beavis and Butt-Head reboot (which has been so far successful).
Have they confirmed whether canonically Frasier killed Niles, Daphne, Roz, Martin and Eddie using omnislash, leaving Seattle a smoking ruin? I know they've heavily hinted at it but I'm not up to date on the latest eps.
Why don't they just make new shows?
People become attached to characters, settings, and the formula of shows they enjoy. Why wouldn't they want more of something they enjoy?
This is the fundamental problem. People can't let things go. I loved Frasier. Then it ended, and I moved on. I don't desperately crave more episodes, and even if the revival has great writing, it's still a new series with different characters. The idea that 'I liked Frasier therefore I want a revival' is kind of a dumbfrick bit of logic that inevitable leads to every revival series' failure
I think it's the writing equivalent of what happened to anime- all the old school talented people aged out and their craft is a lost art. Every writer in the industry now has no idea what they're doing so the best they can hope for is to try and sell an inferior homage to the past with enough "clickbait" political commentary to get some traction in the press.
>Why don't they just make new shows?
Because boomers are fricking lazy and risk averse. Back in the day, you would constantly be gearing your content for younger demographics but we live in a bizarre age where this isn't the case anymore. There is going to be this insane power vacuum created in 16 years where boomers have to relinquish power due to death and it will be the equivalence of plowing a sports car going 160 miles per hour into a brick wall. Our entire society is geared towards making them money and making their lives comfortable
They do, but a lot of the time studio execs will also just want to make some easy money.
Was this scene really artistically justified?
I prefer Cape Feare Sideshow Bob this is still scary it's just not ha ha scary
What's going on in this picture
Fraiser has left the building.
The problem is that isn’t that the original cast isn’t back. Cheers had a completely different cast and it was still quite good. It’s just that the characters have totally wrong characterisations and the premise is shit.
Freddy has no business being a fireman considering he was ostensibly a child prodigy and raised by rich, cultured parents. Freddy’s characterisation in the show should have been as an actual elitist israelite who scoffs at psychology as a profession and is some lawyer/doctor. The conflict should’ve come from him actually being a real elitest stuck up rather than the superficial snobbery Frasier had. He looks down on his father because he was a pop psychologist, and not in the fun, playful way Niles employed. Perhaps he has a family of his own.
David should have been more like Freddy’s character in the show. Like some Americanised football hooligan. It also ties back to the whole Daphne’s family plot and gives it some relevance. Daphne and Niles should’ve had more children, two daughters like they did in that episode where Niles was getting surgery, and David should’ve been sent away to live with Frasier because he’s a bit of a failure. Sort of like Fresh Prince. Over the course of the show he could become a respected fireman.
The city really shouldn’t be Boston. They should’ve went with Chicago, which means Frasier would’ve lived on the east coast, west coast, and midwest in each iteration.
These three could’ve then been the triumvirate of the show. You don’t really need a fleshed out extended cast. Also, they should’ve called it ‘Cranes’ or something.
They should have just continued the Cheers spinoff tradition and expanded the CCU (Cheers Cinematic Universe) and gave Niles his own show. It actually would be neat if they just kept expanding on that for decades

More than five years already? Damn.
Thanks I hate it
What was the point of this scene? Was it really necessary? I think it was a little over the top.

>Who are they going to market it to, septuagenarians?
Actually yes, that's most of the primetime TV sitcom market. Younger demos all watch online or play vidya. There is a legit dearth of quality material in this space.
The first episode of Fras wasn't as bad as everyone said
Who the frick names their son “Kelsey”
It's the name of a sports bar, gay. He was probably conceived there.
>Are the studios just that creatively bankrupt?
Yes.
I'm guessing the actor has alimony bills to pay?
