Fraser And Alan Stuck In The Basement And No Time To Waste - Frasier (2023) 1x05

[@michaelversace456]

Getting Nicholas Lyndhurst as Frasier's friend was a smart move. Now Americans can finally enjoy what the world has enjoyed for forty years

[@quaid667]

They work well together.

[@michaelversace456]

@quaid667 they do. I wasn't really interested in this reboot since no original supporting cast returned. Yet these short clips make me feel like I'm missing something. It's frasier but just frasier. I do hope the others jump in on the second season. Niles destroying Frasier on his TV shows deserves a season on its own

As soon as I saw Nicholas Lyndhurst my thoughts went to "Fools and Horses" episode "Batman & Robin save Councillor Murray!" If he can be a stooge for Derick Trotter, his part in Frasier will be on par.

[@Frankly747]

This scene is a reflection of the only fools and horses scene where Rodney is stuck in a lift with Del and he unburdens himself !

[@user-qh9og5lu5v]

I know the point of the series is to see Frasier again but a lot of the fun of it for me has come from seeing Nicholas Lyndhurst in a sitcom again

[@PR7-82]

We love ❤️ Nicholas Lyndhurst and so glad that's he's made it in America 🇺🇸 👏

I still expect Del to pop his head round the door and call Nicholas Lyndhurst "A Right Plonker".

The sequel series was worth it just for Alan alone, he’s such great sitcom character.

What a banging suit Kelsey and Nick from a Butterfly metamorphosing again from Rodney, thanks for laughs you guys, true stalwarts of comedy.

[@mikeythemike]

Hi America. Nicholas lyndhurst is a British national treasure. He is funny, and no stranger to comedy sitcoms, as he stared in 2 very popular sitcoms before fraiser. Now I’m a huge fan of the original fraiser and I love him in the new series. Please America take care of him and don’t ruin him. Don’t judge him as you’ll offend about every British person on the planet. America is lucky to have Nicholas lyndhurst be part of one of their shows.

[@lordluvvaduck848]

America is as welcome to Lyndhurst as James Corden. Both very limited as this embarrassing clip shows.

[@stevenwilcox8631]

I love seeing Nicholas Lyndhurst in the Fraiser. However, he'll still be Rodney Trotter in many people's eyes.

[@Amp661]

No. Just watch the original then. If a show needs old familiar faces to help stand on it's own two feet that means it sucks.

[@TheRobconnor]

Wait, Fraiser was a member of the Bullingdon club?! How to ruin a character. To get in you had to burn a £50 note in front of a beggar or in David Camerons case have sex with a severed pigs head. That's not marty cranes boy.

[@GenGamesUniverse]

When Frasier says "I always wanted to fit in!", it's true, he was very much trying so much to fit in everywhere he went. The whole quote about "I may have spent too long at a certain...bar" shows that he just went to fit in at Cheers but never could, so he left to go to do his own thing, leaving Roz and his pops and Niles with all the baggage of what he brought along, then came back to chicago finding out that he has a son and nearly ruining his life in the process.

[@cartoonhead9222]

He belonged in Seattle. He was himself, he had a brother who shared his interests, he had a family who loved him, he had a job he enjoyed.

[@Amp661]

His life was turned upside down in Seattle still. He had to take care of his dad and Niles had other shit that bugged him. Him returning to Boston was a complete uturn, I can agree. Lilith, Cheers, Diane, and the wrong crowd made him leave Boston in the first place. It's stupid he would return here. If it was for Freddy, his son could have visited him in Seattle

[@au7661]

Rodney lied about the door being locked just like Del lied about the lift being bust so Rodney would open up about Cassandra's miscarriage.

For those who trace the Legacies of the Creative Teams of "Frasier" and "Cheers" back to "Taxi" Jack Gilford played Judd Hirsch's estranged Father on the Show.

No no, have a look. There isn't a door! I was dubious about this sequel series, but the more clips I see of it, the more I'm liking it. I'll take out Paramount + before very much longer to watch it properly. Also I love how Nic Lyndhurst lied about them being trapped to help Frasier come to terms with the situation when that is exactly what Del did to Rodney in Time on our Hands in Only Fools & Horses

[@user-sx2nn2zp5t]

"Alan" is soooo funny!

[@terrortorn]

Its a pity Nicholas Lyndhurst uses an affected English accent rather than his real one which is more than good enough.

[@Benjiesbeenbetter.]

If I didn't know he was English, I'd think he was an American doing a really bad upper class English accent.

[@terrortorn]

@@Benjiesbeenbetter. I strongly think its an idea of the director/ writers who don't really know who he is.

[@Benjiesbeenbetter.]

@terrortorn. Sounds right. For years the only "English" accents in US things were over the top "posh" and Dick Van Dyke style cockernee. It surprised me that the studio allowed Daphne's version of Manchester.

[@morganbartfield5457]

Honestly though, it's about time the Americans accepted that in the uk, we don't all speak like King Charles. If you've got a brit playing a brit, at least let them sound like one.

[@sparky4878]

They tried that in the original and got it horribly wrong. Jane Leeves did that awful attempt at a Mancunian accent rather than keep her natural one.

[@earlsmith7428]

When he was first on Cheers, I didn't like Frasier at all. It wasn't until he started dating Lilith that he seemed to be more human. Do think Frasier "flipped" in a way. In the latter seasons, he became the conscience of the bar and seemed to be more human, when the others weren't. He and Sam were intriguing polar opposites. Both had a history of failed relationships with women, and you could argue Frasier was getting up there with being a ladies man as much as Mr. Malone was.

[@sleepinggorilla]

Both Frasier and Lilith were accidents. Frasier was left at the alter by Diane then came back to the bar to drown in his sorrows. He was supposed to have a string of bad dates, but one of the early ones was Lilith and she was hugely popular after the famous kissing scene they did.

[@earlsmith7428]

​@@sleepinggorilla That may be, but I still liked Lilith (Bebe Newirth), and accidents or not; their chemistry worked.

[@sleepinggorilla]

@@earlsmith7428 That was the accident. Frasier was a one off joke. Diane shows off her new man, then immediately dumps him, to go back with Sam. Frasier was so funny they kept bringing him back. Then he began dating again and Lilith appeared as a one off joke, but she was so funny she became a regular on the Cheers as well.
