Part of me would love to see Fraiser Crane and his successful podcast as he struggles to relate to Millennials and Zoomers, but I think a bigger part of me just think it's best to let it go
Grammar seems to be the only one behind it last I heard. Everyone else gave a polite "nah." With Mahoney gone it just seems weird.
I think you might be right. However as long as its written well it might work.
I don't think I can get behind this without Mahoney + knowing about Grammer's right wing nonsense.
As a massive fan of the show, I feel this is a revival they shouldn't bother with since the passing of John Mahoney, he's just too essential to the show's chemistry.
Plus Kelsey Grammer kinda sucks so I'd rather they just let the show die, both so Grammer doesn't get paid, and so that the original doesn't get retroactively ruined by whatever they'd write for Fraiser in 2021

yup end thread.
this is like rebooting seinfeld without all four coming back
Was just about to post this, I ran through the first 9 seasons and while it still was decent in later seasons, nothing can touch seasons 1-6 and I think the further away you get from that era, the worse the show is. Kelsey Grammer is like 70 now, I'm not that interested in what he's doing in retirement, not to mention w/out Martin Crane the show would really suffer. It was a show about 2 snooty professional brothers dealing with their gruff dad and navigating life in their late 40's/early 50's, that show is dead and buried. Not to mention some characters simply wouldn't work today, imagine Mad Dog now? Yeesh
They could flip the dynamic completely; Frasier's kid was born in 1989, making him 32 now. Kelsey Grammer was 37 when Fraser premiered and 65 now. Mahoney was only 53 when Frasier first ran (surprised me too). They could totally have millennial Freddie Crane having to deal with his boomer dad, especially if Frasier is still playing at being upper class and super conservative (like a certain actor we know) and his son is just smarter and more grounded. Poke fun at the Boomers, they can't figure out streaming services anyway and maybe Grammer won't catch on that he's the butt of the jokes.

This is already a bad idea without Mahoney but the implication that it would just be Grammar's one man show would be even worse
For some reason I read that as John Mulaney and it somehow still made sense.
Anyway, I love Frasier but I don't think we need it back.
Yeah I don't think anybody should be supporting grammar at this stage. He's shown who he is.
I guess you'd rather be in Surrey with the rest of your school chums in the fens and spinneys.
The only one I've been legit interested in since it was initially suggested was a King of the Hill revival.
Grammar being Republican is hard enough on us Frasier fans. Leave us be! :'(
Seriously, though...the show had fantastic writing and acting. David Hyde Pierce, Mahoney, Jane Leeves. All great.
I could see it working if it dealt with Frazier's son Freddie having to come live with him and dealing with his boomer dad and the millennial struggle of not making enough money to support oneself.
Big fan of Frasier, but I don't have a desire for a new TV series. I'd be okay with a one hour special though like they sometimes do with British shows years after they end.
If they must make a new TV series, I'd rather it was another spin-off focusing on either Niles/Daphne or Roz, with Frasier making occasional guest appearances.
