I watched the first 2 episodes and liked them. It sticks to the tone of the first Frasier pretty hard so it just depends if you liked the OG or not. Grammer is great in the role as always.

Its hard to tell how good a sitcom will be when it just started, because they have to set up the situation and all the characters before you can write the more fun episodes, but I think its a solid foundation so far. I laughed at a few things. Hopefully the rest of the season builds on that.

Watched the whole season. I enjoyed it for nostalgia, but the next season needs a longer run than 10 eps to develop the new characters naturally. The longer running times help a bit but theres a few bad eps here. Still some of the new characters won me over by the end and it was great to see Lilith and Roz come back.

The new show is okay but it feels a little budget.

This thing needed to be shot like Curbed Your Enthusiasm — on location instead of a set that’s clearly being recycled. OG Frasier had cars and money and took random trips and did stuff outside of the radio station. Dude was at a bunch of restaurants for instance.

He’s supposed to be teaching at Harvard but the school looks worse than whatever school they use on the Bel Air reboot.

If this thing was getting rebooted with a new cast then it needed the locations to be just as integral as the cast. I’m not feeling the Freddie character at all and the OG Freddie was a big pudgie and seemed like he’d be more like Martin as a grown up. Why not make him a “young” Marty Crane and initially use the first few episodes to have them get to learn to be around each other the same way it was when Martin moved in with Frasier. Then build the cast around that.

Yeah the OG had a great sense of location, this...doesn't.

He’s a fireman and lives with a chick and her baby. The chicks baby father was also a fireman who got killed on the job. He didn’t turn out to be smart or anything like Frasier

He is. He just doesn't revel in it as his father does, and goes so far as to mask it to feel a sense of belonging with the people around him. Considering who his parents are and what they're like, that sense of belonging means more to him than trying to be like them.
