Reindeer Games

Peri needs to be a regular on this show. The more it can connect to the first show, the better. I realize that not everyone is interested in getting back together, but a few of the old cast, plus the new characters would be great. I always wanted Roz and Fraser to get together. Could be an opportunity. Roz could move to Boston and work at a local radio show or be the station manager. This would give Fraser the opportunity to date her as an off and on relationship. Could be a humerus link to the fire department friends of Freddie.

Maybe even Dan Butler and the Lilith character (Bebe Neuworth) could make cameo appearances from time to time. I already know that David Hyde Pierce was not interested and neither was Jane Leaves. It would, however be an interesting episode if they made cameos.

Still, I think the show is getting better with each episode. Looking forward to next season.

I was a big fan of the original series of "Frasier" though, truth be told, I wasn't overly struck on this reboot idea, particularly when the fact that the rest of the cast weren't returning came out. The first couple of episodes really played into those fears too, but later in the run I do think things improved.

Following the death of his father, Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammar) heads to Boston to reconnect with his son, Freddie (Jack Cutmore-Scott). Having dropped out of Harvard, much to Frasier's chagrin, Freddie is a firefighter and lives with Eve (Jess Salgueiro), the girlfriend of one of Freddie's colleagues, who was killed in the line of duty. Having been to Harvard to see his old friend Alan Cornwall (Nicholas Lyndhurst), the chair Olivia Finch (Toks Olagundoye) offers Frasier a job.

So, the first two/three episodes are not good and can see why they might have shaken off the potential audience the show would have had. I haven't seen "Frasier" in a while, but I don't remember the performances being as broad as they are here, particularly from the new cast. I can't signal anyone out, as they're all doing "I'm in a sitcom" deliveries and its pretty horrible stuff. I'm not sure why I did, but, if you persevere through those first few, everybody does seem to settle down and there are some genuinely amusing moments in the rest of the run.

Nicholas Lyndhurst is in this series which is never not going to be odd for a British person, given how closely he's identified with the one iconic sitcom role. He too feels a bit 'one-note' in the opening couple of episodes, but the character widens out as the series runs on. There's also a few more moments of pathos as the series runs on.

It's tough to get over those first few, and I really wouldn't blame you if you couldn't manage it, but there were rewards to be had later on, so much so that I'd like to see this reboot continue.

The only entertainment this show gives is how laughable it got to 10 episodes.

It suffers from the same problem most dismal sitcoms suffer from, everyone is performing just for the camera, like they know they're being fimed, the best shows have the cast acting out a storyline Frasier 2023 is nothing more than unfunny unimaginative skits, it's akin to amateur night at a karaoke bar.

This entire 10 episode season can't hold a candle to 5 minutes from any episode from the original show, it is simply embarrassing how lacklustre it is.

The mistake the producers & Grammer made is that they believed Grammer was the reason for the success of the original show, that belief is simply ridiculous, the original show had a stellar cast of actors with incredible talent, each character with a unique personality and fantastic writers with outstanding imagination, Frasier without that superb cast would have been a failure and that is obvious in this new iteration of the "Frasier show".

If this shockingly bad attempt at a sitcom gets a second season then Grammer needs to fire the entire writing staff and hire writers with talent.

The original show had drama and comedy mixed into imaginative storylines with a talented cast, everything required for a hit show, Frasier 2023 lacks everything the original show had in spades which is why it's a dud.

This is the last episode of the first series of the rebooted 'Fraiser', and it's another that feels like the good old days.

It's rich in farce, everyone gets their chance to shine, and despite the longer running time, zips along at pace.

It's good, funny stuff, and I think it really highlighted how the supporting cast are more than able to hold their own. Even David, which hasn't always been the case.

We do get a returning face from the old series, but they don't get in the way of it being all about the new characters, so unlike others I felt it was nicely done.

Overall, I think this first series has been good, and that there have been some very good episodes. It's finding its feet, but with time it will improve.

I was really excited for this episode because of three things: it's a season finale, it's Christmas-themed, and most importantly, there is a guest appearance by Roz Doyle. Although the episode was fine, they really need to reduce the laughter track; there are far too many, and it's annoying when the scene is not funny. Also, there should be some good side characters and a funny recurring character. Now, the main cast looks better than it was in the beginning, and Alan is the best new addition to this Frasier universe. Anyways, talking about this episode, they really wasted Roz. She looked great, and her dialogue delivery was still super awesome, but she came almost at the end with very few dialogues. Those watching for Roz would be highly disappointed. Roz shouldn't have even been in this episode; she deserved way more respect and screen time. It was one of the worst guest appearances of a really good actor, and it wasn't her fault. I hope they still renew this show, bring in Niles and others, but give them some respect in their guest appearance role.
