Somehow Bulldog singing Ave Maria is absolutely fitting.

[@Doctor4077]

You can tell that Freddy missing Martin’s funeral hurt Frasier more than the whole “not living up to his expectations” that Freddy thought

[@gardenroom65]

It matters!

[@Initiallyleo]

That line “Grandpa got on a plane” really does show a main difference between Martin and Frasier. Frasier does care about people, and he loves his family, but he also thinks everything can be talked out and broken down into more easily understood pieces, and he spirals when confronted with the prospect genuine loss in his personal life. If Freddy had called, he would have used all of his education and experience to try to help his son, and it would have come from a place of best intentions and love. Maybe he would have visited later or invited Freddy to visit him, but that wouldn’t have been his first instinct. Martin, on the other hand, was more about people and personal connection than logic and reason. His grandson calling him, devastated about the sort of loss he (Martin) had gone through before would be all the reason he needed to get on the first flight to Boston to be there for him and keep him company through the worst of his grief. Both reactions have their benefits, but it’s good that Freddy seems to take after Martin so much, especially since David will likely take up more of Niles and Frasier’s tendencies. They’ll balance each other out well.

[@MattrickBT]

Frasier also can't relate to Freddy the way Martin could, as they are both public servants who put their lives on the line and dealt with similar losses. Frasier could likely treat a patient dealing with that over a course of months and months, but he wouldn't be able to get down in the mental muck and directly relate to such difficult emotions the way Martin could.

Thanks for the memories John Mahoney (1940-2018). Marty was the best.

​@darth856 they gave the character of Martin the cane because he'd been shot in the hip, no matter your age if you've been shot in the hip you might need an aid to walk. The whole premise of Martin moving in was because of his injuries.

I know it was a joke but I've got to hear his rendition it just sounds so funny but it's also nice that Martin stayed in touch with Bulldog after he got fired from the radio station as the host of the sports show and got him to be a part of his funeral.

I saw the trailer and I got a how I met your mother feel to it. But after seeing the air hockey table clip, and now this clip, I feel this is Frasier. What a beautiful moment we get between father and son, and grandfather. RIP John Mahoney, this was an absolutely beautiful tribute.

That was genuinely moving and heartwarmingly touching.

[@LeornianCyng]

One of the most beautifully written scenes in all twelve series of Frasier. A wonderful tribute to Martin / Jon Mahoney.

[@TheTsar1918]

During this scene I can actually picture the moment where Martin boards a plane, flies to Boston, and spends time with Freddy during that dark period. To be honest, Frasier wouldn't have managed the situation as effectively as Martin did (See Niles's heart surgery episode).

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

Thank you for eleven seasons and all the laughs. Thank you John. 💜💜💜

Bulldog’s Ave Maria. What a sight that must have been 😂

[@DukeFavre]

It all works out. That last bit. Reminded me to my dad.

[@Howland-ze4wf]

Good writing. The original series also had many touching moments such as to the one in episode one or two between Frasier and his father. Martin was encouraging Frasier to give their relationship a try. It is one of my many favorite Frasier moments.

[@joemontano71]

Looking forward to seeing more scenes with Frasier and his stuffy professor friends in the classroom (and pub) - *SHOW IS AMAZING!*

Rest in peace John Mahoney You were a treasure there's so many unanswered hanging questions here what happened to Daphne and Niles but their son is in the show what happened to Lilith. What happened to Charlotte? Since when does Freddy and Frasier have issues? And it's really really sad that the only way to watch this is through a paid subscription You are missing out on an entire market base that would love to watch this

[@ijnfleetadmiral]

According to the first scene, Frasier and Charlotte broke up.

[@chriskay1449]

Lillith is going to be a part of this revival. It was already announced that Bebe Neuwrth agreed to do some episodes. This episode also explained the issues between Freddie and Frasier.

[@shutterspine]

I loved the original but was concerned when the trailer came out - seemed flat and the laughter forced and fake. If you watched the original first episode, it hit the ground running. I'm three episodes in and barely laughed once. Sorry folks, but like the recent Indiana Jones, some things are best left unmade 😢

I reckon that "Tough act to follow" was a true sentence from Kelsey and maybe not in the script. He always said in interviews that John Mahoney was like a father to him on and off set.

[@steffnic13]

I love all of these reboots of shows my generation watched real time. Thursday night line-ups and I forget which other nights. NBC had Friends and Will & Grace and Frasier (or I’m pretty sure they were all on NBC). And the line-up was so exciting to wait for the next week and watch. Oh, and Seinfeld of course!

[@afaceforradiowithrichardma4831]

[@jujubees711]

Casting-wise, the new Freddy looks like he could be Frasier Crane's son. But the character Freddy is so different from young Freddy. Young Freddy was so much like Frasier and Niles. And now he's more like Martin, even though he was raised by his mom, Lilth. The show did this to bring back characters that resemble characters and tension from the old show to the new show. Freddy is the Frasier-Martin tension. And David and his friend and fellow professor is the Frasier-Niles tension. I don't dislike the new show. But it seems a lot meaner and cheap jabs. It was different when it was Niles, Frasier, and Martin. Because they're family. We're not always our best around family. But with professor, it's a bit excessive.

[@emarley9]

Agreed. The professor character is just a punching bag. A wino. “Tenure” isn’t an excuse to be a good-for-nothing. And the racial garbage creeping back in here - it’s so modern and so tiresome.

[@lcyurchuk]

I think it was because he was raised by Lilith that made Freddy turn out the way he did, I think at some point during his later childhood, he realized how sheltered he was as a kid, how soft that made him, perhaps that made him want to toughen up, or something

I'm trying to watch clips from this new Frasier even though I really really didn't want it to happen. I personally don't like reboots. When the original Frasier ended I pictured Frasier and Charlotte getting married and living happily ever after. When a series ends I like to come up with my own future for the stars that makes me happy. So I don't like it when they come back and mess it up. Plus like someone pointed out you just can never recapture the magic. Just isn't possible. I say let the original live on and let us watch the reruns in peace.

[@user-km4ul2ry4d]

I think great idea is everyone asking for the cheers cast , the real cheers has closed out of business so I say Frasier should go there not knowing this and then buy it so they can all hang out there Freddie and the firemen and the old cheers gang could show up now retired complaining about all thier problems ect, and Frasier should also start a podcast with Roz, this stuff would really make the show! Frasier was one of my favorites the character i still love ect, but rest of cast little awakward especially without original cast members and hes back in Boston and doesn't see cheers gang or even mentioned them bizarre

Lovely tribute to John Mahoney but... This is supposed to be a sit com right? That scene was an, admittedly well written, soap opera scene. No Punchline gag about how Marty would hate this touchy feely stuff? No cutting to a picture of Eddie staring at Frasier? Nothing?

[@chriskay1449]

Sitcoms have done this stuff all the time. It's how they pay tribute to their fallen colleagues.

[@emarley9]

Really not seeing how Frasier let him down here. There is so much emotion in this scene but it feels very contrived. So Frasier… what? Should have jumped on a plane the second he heard? How many firemen die in the line of duty? How many psychologists do? What could Frasier have said to console him? It feels very unearned. There was never a time when the son was going to end up in the wrong in any way. Frasier was always going to be the unreasonable one here. Because he represents the old world. It’s so transparent. It’s not fun because you already know who the “bad guy” is. The writers can’t help themselves. They don’t know how to humanize Frasier the way the writers did for Martin. It’s class warfare all over again. It’s boring. RIP John Mahoney. You were the best. You didn’t deserve to have your memory treated this way. And Freddy, next time, go to grandfather’s funeral. You’re selfish. And you admit it, but end up being comforted anyway. Because that’s what manipulators do. Frasier shouldn’t have left Boston for your Mom to raise you. Your grandfather did right by you. And this is how you repay him?

[@debra2700]

Frasier showed up unannounced, decided that Freddy's whole life was wrong, bought the apartment building and found a conniving way to get Freddy to move in with him and immediately tried to get rid of the things Freddy cherishes simply because Boston was now a better place for Frasier than Seattle.. Maybe Freddy didn't go to the funeral because he didn't want to have to deal with Frasier's fussiness and insistence that everything be perfect and the Martin you so beautifully described would have understood that.

[@emarley9]

@@debra2700yes but that’s what bothers me about it. This Frasier is bearing very little resemblance to the previous one. He’s so much worse. Freddy is so much better. He’s flawless, even when flawed. It’s like the writers are rushing or something. It’s bizarre.

[@debra2700]

@@emarley9 I agree. It's bad enough that John Mahoney is gone and that none of the principle players wanted to be regulars on this show but to completely change the personalities of Frasier and Freddy made no sense and I appreciate your point of view on that. Even David who is supposed to be Niles and Daphne's son acts like an idiot when Niles only acted that way when he was love-struck around Daphne and Daphne was smarter than the two Crane doctors put together so it's an insult to Niles and Daphne to make their son such a dolt.

[@honestbiz]

Im a Frasier fan - the reboot is OK - Frasier would never live in that apartment though. And where is even one piece of his African art collection? And what happened to Martin's chair? Frasier hated it but that is the kind of thing he would have kept. David is spot on - big like his uncles on Daphne's side and fussy like this father. Freddy is all wrong. There is absolutely no resemblence to the brainiac kid with allergies from the original and supposedly he was very close to his grandfather but if so he would have become a cop - not a fireman. Hate these rebotts that either have absolutely no memory of the earlier characters or they are in too much of a hurry to throw them away.

[@ijnfleetadmiral]

I imagine Ronee is still alive given the age difference between her and Martin, and she probably has his chair.

[@chriskay1449]

IT's been over 20 years since he left Seattle. Martin still had the chair so Faraiser had no reason to be in possession of it.

[@Numbah3Son]
