The new show feels sadder somehow. Not just because of the passage of the years, and the loss of Frasier’s father… but the complete absence, of the rest of the original cast. Seeing Kelsey (who is always great) playing alone, against the rest of this younger cast, leaves me feeling sadder, remembering that the magic of the original show was not only the brilliance of the writers and producers, but the chemistry of the original cast, playing against each other.

Exactly. The writing in Frasier 2023 is atrocious and there's absolutely no chemistry between the characters. Kelsey has to carry every scene, but that's an impossible task. So instead he's left to stand there and pull hat tricks (as this scene amply demonstrates). The original Frasier was absolutely brilliant. The reboot is just too cringy to watch. One thing that would have been amazing is if they created a completely new spin-off of Frasier...pick ANY character: Bebe, Roz, Noel, Kenny, Bulldog, Niles, Lilith, Eddie...anyone...and it would have been better. The reboot is just one long sequence of self-referential jokes and forced "now times" relevance. So far this show is on the bottom with "The Big Bang Theory"...ughhh! :(

I think this show is rather good. But you do have a point. It would be nice to do a blend if they could and play off some of the older cast and almost pull a cheers. Where they have some of the older cast on from time to time. Like people he used to work with. old girlfriends and family.

This show is like if Frasier moved in with Kirby and everyone else they ever encountered was also Kirby. There’s a very sitcomy, ersatz feeling to all of this.

Apparently, on Frasier, KG insisted on the cast only rehearsing each scene once to keep it as fresh as possible. The rest of the cast found this way of working really hard at first and perhaps this is the case with the reboot as well 🤷🏼‍♀️

Well don't compare it to the original version to decide whether it belongs on TV now. Compare it to other sitcoms on television right now. Nothing's going to match the original version, that's long syndicated By rebooting the show - they might be increasing the value of the original. This show may not make a lot of money but bringing back the old one through this reboot might make more, introduce another generation to the old version. Yet to decide whether it belongs on TV, the question is: is it funnier than other modern sitcoms? How does it rate against the current competition? It seems like a normal family - heterosexual parents are divorced, still civil and trying to get along Frasier's still can't get a date Somebody on the show drinks too much. And someone has a British accent So it seems to be a little bit different than some of the modern sitcoms. I haven't seen two guys making out yet...

Frasier doesn't really seem to be in the drivers seat in this new incarnation. There's some witty dialog, but it feels more like a bad Cheers episode instead of the Oscar Wildian confection that was the classic show. These younger actors all feel very lightweight somehow.

Unlike the original Frasier to me this one has no heart.
