From the off - this is a different show. Sure, Frasier is still Frasier, and Grammar is frustratingly charming as the snooty radio host, but this is officially a family drama now. It's about a once-ladies-man reaching his twilight years and trying to fit into the mould of the cute old man who's a bit out of touch. It's the cookie-cutter formula of almost every sitcom you stumble on as it's playing on syndication in the middle of the day that inexplicably has 18 seasons.
Honestly, it doesn't look that bad, but it's just a different show. We're essentially picking up a character we know and love and dropping them in a brand-new environment. It's probably best if we think of this less as a reboot and more as a
spin-off. Or, in this case, a spin-off of a spin-off.
