@@yaboiharls I grew up in the 90s , this show and character is dear to my heart , the character Frasier Crane is very similar to my father ,I used to watch this show with my brother as kid , the jokes flew over my head but as I got older the show was even better , yes it did taper to the end and I think times also changed , it has Kelsey Grammer so I will give it a shot , Frasier is on its own a masterpiece , I rank it above most sitcoms , it has Rodney from only fools and horses so that's another character I grew up watching as a kid , the fact it feels like how I met your mother is a bit of drag, but thats just me .

@@ahmedshakib3883 Same mate, I would even put it up there as the greatest comedy series of all time (just my opinion). But watched both episodes and it was painful, I would put it down to bad scripting and I would agree with most people that the father / son scenario is just repeating the dynamic. I think it's getting alot of good reviews based off sentimentality for the character, but for me I don't think I even laughed once. It's a shame.

How ironic Freddie told his buddies at his bar that his father was dead and in "Frasier" Frasier told his buddies in "Cheers" that his father was dead too. Freddie has a difficult relationship with his father like Frasier had with his father, feeling like he is not the son his father wanted "What comes around goes around".

[@debra2700]

The way the economy is today, most of us aren't happy with the idea that if you screw up your relationship with a child, you can just buy the apartment building the kid lives in and move across the hall and to have Frasier teach at Harvard and pretend that cute comedy will keep the students interested is just too much to accept when Harvard right now is a hotbed for political drama. You can only stretch the imagination so far.

[@ninamarino374]

Great dialogue!! So funny. I love the new Frasier

[@markjones-gu2fj]

What you got to remember is Freddie was always pushed in to being the son that Frasier & Lileth wanted him to be not what he wanted to be. In the original he rebeled by becoming a goth and was aways happier with Martin . He could also have more of Marty's character traits in his DNA.

[@adamleach471]

its unfortunate that we dont know anything about who lilliths family, Freddie is not a Carbon copy of Frasier, I THink his father is resolved to accept that his son is at pease doing the thing that matters to him rather then living up to his expectations, its assounding that Frasier has had to accept empathy rather then be accustomed to it.

[@gdotone1]

[@ohmarider7026]

This started out like with Martin and his chair, only now Frasier is the father and can say no to anything he wants. Also, a reason I believe Freddy became like this is because he also spent time with Sam. Think about it, Sam spent a lot of time with him during Cheers, so it's possible he spent more with him later on. It could also explain how Freddy came up with the idea to say his dad is dead. Lastly, why isn't Fraiser at Cheers? Aside from being with his son, you would think he would want to spend some time with his friends at Cheers.

[@notsureiL]

I don't know anyone who actually place the weight bench in the living room if they have one. If you live in a small apartment/tiny house yeah otherwise, no. They are trying to force argument where there is none Why would Frasier buy the apartment complex where Freddy lives? I assume with Freddy's salary and the expensive rents Boston offers that Freddy doesn't live in a high end part of Boston. An upper class neighbourhood Frasier is used to. I don't see Frasier moving down/slumming with us regulars and working class.

[@canalesworks1247]

Frasier is obviously trying to force the issue, because that's what Frasier does. He'd advise against doing this if a patient asked him but he always does the opposite of what he'd advise. That's why his relationships never work out. In this case he's remembering that he and his dad became very close because they were "forced together" because Niles wouldn't take him in. So Frasier buys the building and forces the issue. It's a typical Frasier move really.

[@keithpoindexter6758]

You are correct - It’s the Liberal CBS trying to change Frasier to meet their standards, we all know this is Not what Frasier would do - it’s very Sad, but Kelsey is truly under their control now , we can only pray he has the ability to get out from under their control and get picked-up by a network that will allow him the creativity to display the true nature of Frasier !!!

I just watched the third episode and I think I figured out what is wrong with this for me. The characters and relationships between them are unidimensional, they play one note, no nuance. The one who disappoints me most is Niles son, he should be the voice of reason with only the very occasional foray into the manic, not on every line. Perhaps they will develop them but they should hurry up, audiences are not as patient as they one were. That said, I loooved the « I’m still talking Oedipus » line. That was a classic old Frasier line.

I know reboots are tricky - but people hating on good ones says more about their unresolved personal issues and longing for the past than it does the show. This show works really well. Will it reach Frasier heights? Unsure. But will it be a worthy & honest successor and a great way to bookend the character? Most definitely. I've been watching Frasier S1 back and forth with S1 of the reboot, and they're pretty comparable in quality, just in different ways.

Given his profession, it's surprising that Frasier would be so tone deaf as to insist that Freddie live with him and then remove every trace of Freddie from their shared living area. He should have at least let the Fenway cube stay. Yes, Frasier is famous for not taking his own advice, but everything about this reboot is over the top and this is one example. The real Frasier would be more contemplative and less combative, especially if his goal is to reconnect with his son. (I can just envision him talking through this conundrum with his brother Niles.) This reboot just feels contrived and overdone. The subtlety and the underlying humanity of the original are nowhere in sight. And even the jokes aren't funny.

I watched HIMYF, Fuller House, and that 90s show.... Frasier is better by ... Leagues. The actors are good, the writing is mostly good, and if you think it's not grounded in reality... Boy do I have news for you about the original show and Cheers. 😂 If you like the old show, want more of it, and knew this is going to have mostly a different cast for a while (Which I did), I think you'll settle into this one just fine. I think if you're expecting a 1:1 recreation of Frasier (1993), then I'm sorry to have to inform you that "time" has happened. Looking forward to seeing Peri and Bebe 😊 that should be fun!

Really doesn’t work at all. This is not a patch on the original. The acting is risible; sadly the dialogue is not. Always a bad idea to endeavour to replicate a masterpiece. Sooner it’s over the better.

[@judefisher4367]

Using God’s name in vain…not cool

[@rdually]

not funny

[@AJnzxv1]

I liked the first two episodes because of Frasier himself, not too mad about the other characters, Nile's son is annoying (don't like the actor), Freddy is okay I guess. Some of the jokes are too forced, which they also were the further we got into the original series.

[@lenawagenfuehr53]

Freddy is the worst. Not believable at all

[@adrastos761]

I agree. I dont find him cast well for this part. I see zero chemistry with Freddy and Frasier, absolutley none at all. @@lenawagenfuehr53

[@AJnzxv1]

@@lenawagenfuehr53 After watching the third episode I agree with you. This remake isn't good...Too many bad jokes, bad acting, and the laugh track is so forced, there's laughs after things that aren't remotely funny. Pity really. I liked the second episode. I hope we can at least get a few good episodes. Looking forward to seeing Lillith and Roz.

I wanted to like this but it's just not good. Casting is terrible. The actors are just not good and the characters are not likeable or relatable.. The script is heavy handed and lacks the "snappy " dialog of the old show. I don't think it has any staying power without major cast and writing changes.

[@labla8940]

HORRIBLE!

[@MeMeDaVinci]

Hmmm. Being the common man isn't funny. The erudite reacting to the common man is. Not the other way around. I love Frasier so I hope the humor finds a finer line between the two.

Horribly trite script and dial down the fake laff metre, its not really that funny.

[@lss74]

NO! NO! NO! An old Rodney from Fools and Horses.... Frasier without Martin & Eddie, Niles, Daphne etc. This is all the worlds biggest NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a huge fan of the original (watch it daily). I just.... can't. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@seanwebb605]

This is really bad.

[@susanstancliff2937]

I have tried to like this but I really don’t find it funny. The only one I liked was with Fraser’s x wife. The rest of the characters don’t seem to have any connections or spark at all. I hate to say this but I’m disappointed in this new series. When the laughter comes on, I’m not laughing. I know it’s unfair to compare it with the original series but just like Golden Girls when Bea Arthur quit on Golden Girls and they had a new spin off called Golden Palace it didn’t work out without Bea Arthur. Sometimes you just have to have a cast that connects and has magic. This new series just doesn’t have it. I have honestly tried to give it a chance but to me the spark is just not there. I’ll always love the original series! It just clicked at that time.❤❤❤

[@keithdm1466]

Dear me... predictable and dated, little to commend it, depressing really to think that this commands so much media attention. No doubt a big money spinner for the franchise. The Frasier character in Cheers is a million miles away from this cheap and uninspiring creative black hole of an attempt at humour. You never know, it could get better and win prizes. I would not be surprised at all.

[@debra2700]

How many parents who screwed up with their kids can buy the apartment building the kid lives in to try to make amends and are we supposed to pretend that Harvard is currently a happy place full of zany characters and Frazier doing a clown show will impress them?

[@RedRonFJB]

A little woke?

[@adrastos761]

painful to watch. it was like martin moving in with frasier all over again. why on earth would freddy want to move in with his father at his age? i dont like it at all.

[@JohnHazenhousen]

He didn’t want to move in. Did you actually watch the show?

[@adrastos761]

I did and I didn't, but he is an adult, he can stand on his own two feet and tel his father no, it isn't that hard. Frasier Crane is a PITA in regards to the couch and pillows and all that crap, he really isn't likeable.@@JohnHazenhousen

[@lenawagenfuehr53]

Why the hell would Frasier but a whole building and force his son to move in with him? The whole premise is contrived

[@adrastos761]

I agree with you also, Frasier buying the whole entire building seemed somewhat no reality, plus the apartment directly across the hall was vacant for him to live in. I also did not like Frasier making all kinds of not nice gestures about Freddys thing, Frasier carrying on over the pillows and couch, please......These are the things that make Frasier un-likable. @@lenawagenfuehr53

[@alphanerd7221]

@@lenawagenfuehr53 Frasier contrives things. You don't get the character. Being over the top is his calling card.

[@Time4Hemp]

WOW - how lame - the script is cartoonish. The acting is campy. The laff track is over done. The premise is unbelievable. The characters are too contrived. The original series was amazing and stands well along side other greats such as 'SINEFIELD' or 'FRIENDS' or 'EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND'. This silly, campy reboot will only stand well along side other such cartoonish comedies such as 'THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES' or 'GREEN ACRES' or 'F-TROOP'. So sad to see Kelsey Grammer tarnish his legacy with this dribble.

[@sharonmckoy7689]

Trying too hard, supporting characters overacting and forgettable

Bloody awful 😩 Weak characters and jokes.

[@Han-7c3]

Oookay! I see the writing is just as terrible on this is everything else lately! I will not be subscribing to Paramount! Kelsey Grammer seems very good, but everything and I do mean absolutely everything else is lame, poorly written, poorly acted and bad props.
