Frasier sequel ordered to series **Spoilers**

Well without spoiling any jokes I will just say they do address yout concerns.

Its trying a bit too hard for laughs compared to the more subtle Frasier humour and the laugh track is intrusive. Needs to slow down a bit.

Nicholas Lyndurst is good as is the actress playing his boss who have good timing together.

Less sure yet about the guys playing the son (over acting) and nephew (thankless role).

I absolutely adore Frasier. Won't be able to see this new lot, but hoping it's good.

I honestly don't think anything could be as good as the original.

Nearly choked to death the first time I saw the episode of Niles and Eddie and the ironing board and the fire. How could something so simple be so funny but that man and his character were brilliant.

The dumping of the dirt made no sense and served no purpose. It was in a sealed or closed at least container. For all David knew it could have been a seed starting to germinate.

And why could Freddie not have just introduced Jenni as his room mate?

It was a 1 bed apartment, if he had introduced her as his room mate he'd have been asked a bunch of other question like does he have money problems or whatever. He said girlfriend to end the conversation quicker.

The whole series feels a bit claustrophobic to me. I know the original Frasier wasn’t expansive with sets but neither Niles or Roz lived in Frasier’s building so they were free to be there or not depending on requirements. The radio station too was a great device as it allowed external characters like Bulldog and the celebrity callers to do their thing and add to the show.

this feels smaller. Basically they’re all going to be at Frasier’s or, at least Freddie & his not girlfriend. Then there’s that tiny office he’s sharing with Rodney and the bar. I don’t see much scope to allow a bit more flow in that. I think if they had him move to Boston to do TV then it would have been a better choice.

I watched the first two eps last night. They felt very contrived and not that funny. Honestly if this was a brand new comedy I was watching from cold with new characters to me, I’d be out already. I do realise they’re in a building phase at the moment so they should be allowed time to set up but it’s not seeming all that interesting. David seems like he has special needs. I know there trying to make a mini Niles out of the character but while Nikes was eccentric and strange at times, he never crossed that line if I remember.

Also, maybe it’s because I’ve stopped watching mainstream TV for the most part and a mainly streaming these days but the laugh track seems antiquated. Time was I had the US cousins “send me” the new comedies each season and there were laugh tracks in all of those but it feels like something from a bygone era now.

I’ve a feeling this may go the way of the Murohy Brown comeback a few years ago. I loved MB back in the day and was behind the new show all the way but even I had to admit time had moved on and it just wasn’t working. Better to remember the show as it was. I don’t think you can catch lightening in a bottle like that twice. The original was surprisingly great. Grammar is hitting the ground running to be fair but it’s expected as he’s playing the only returning character and he knows Frasier inside and out.

You can be more cynical than that :)

I agree on the claustrophobic feel. Which is funny considering Cheers was set entirely in the bar. I also feel there are too many characters. Which is also funny considering the broad and diverse set of characters in both Frasier and Cheers.

My recent forages into NetFlix have completely turned me off paying for it. I would say the 10% watchable is an optimistic figure.

I agree. Nexflix is fairly dire.

I loved and love Frasier. I don't think I want to see this spin off judging by the comments here which I'm guess are very creditable.

Way he'd cheers in the day and to have Frasier which was an even better show come out of it was probably never possible to repeat.

Souch 'comefy' today is so contrived and I couldn't handle it🥴

It sounds like an extension of the episode The Innkeepers, where Niles and Frasier run a restaurant and the place practically burns down on opening night. I think it would be a trope which would get old pretty quickly. That said, the "Odd couple" theme they have gone with could get old just as quickly.

If they were brining it back for a limited once off run of X episodes, I think it would have been a good concept for that.
