Thanks to his eccentricities, Frasier was a welcome addition to Cheers , becoming a series regular even after Long left the show in season 5. When the Ted Danson-led series went off the air in despite its continued popularity, NBC found ways to capitalize on its viewership by launching its spin-off Frasier later the same year. It features the titular character returning home to Seattle where fans met his equally fascinating family. Grammer publicly discussed his interest in reviving the series, which remains one of the most critically-acclaimed television series of all time, and spearheaded the efforts to bring it back to the air.
Grammer finally got his wish. Here's everything to know about the upcoming Frasier reboot, including its release date, network, and which actors will return. There is no confirmed release date for the planned Frasier reboot. Grammer revealed in late that he, alongside those working on the show, had already cracked its premise and were in the process of talking to different networks, pitching their idea to bring the Cranes back on TV. Frasier Crane as Dr. Frasier Crane. David Hyde Pierce Dr.
Niles Crane as Dr. Niles Crane. Moose Eddie as Eddie. Paul Cosimano Waiter as Waiter. Bebe Neuwirth Dr. Lilith Sternin as Dr. Lilith Sternin. Jane Adams Dr. Mel Karnofsky as Dr. Mel Karnofsky.

He has a radio talk show, which he uses to relay his wit and wisdom to others, but at times he struggles with his own problems with his salt-of-the-earth father, his pretentious brother, and his friends and co-workers. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.
It will be like having an old friend stop by to do revival of Frasier in Good going Paramount. I have them all on tape on my DVR. I was livid when they took off the shows to run umpteen Christmas shows which lasted over two months! Bring it back! They completely blew it on this. Some narrative sleight of hand was required, as, in the universe of Cheers, Frasier had been an orphaned only child; but the spinoff gave him a competitively dyspeptic shrink brother, Niles David Hyde Pierce , and an ailing father, Martin John Mahoney , who, in the pilot episode, acquired a carer, Daphne Moon Jane Leeves.
As Daphne, weirdly, hails from north-west England, Frasier is striking among great American sitcoms in its setup lines being spoken in a cod Mancunian accent. These emerge not through repetitions of the same phrase, but fresh verbal expressions of the core trait. But those who find it surprising, or even hypocritical, that actors can play characters outside their own worldview may be missing the point of a profession rooted in pretence and psychological exploration.
If you dine with Sir Anthony Hopkins, he is unlikely to eat your liver with fava beans; yet brilliantly portrayed, as Dr Hannibal Lecter, someone who would. And, regardless of acting skill, the writers, whether or not deliberately drawing on the gap between Grammer and Frasier, gave the character deep contradictions — a liberal who is a snob about culture and decor, a relationship expert who struggles with family and lovers.
Most actors would tell you that a Republican playing a Democrat might find that a help rather than a hindrance. The new Frasier will air on Paramount Plus , a streaming service. This is another example of how the fragmentation of broadcasting through digital expansion has, through changing the economics of television, democratised scheduling.
An old show with a significant fanbase may not fit the demographic or ratings base of its original network, but could do decent business for a niche outlet.
