Frasier's return isn't great, but it's good...and gets better as it goes.
Frasier Crane is back – and back in Boston! – and it's…not bad. Frasier returns, with new episodes hitting Paramount+ later this month, and the season premiere hitting CBS not long after. In it, Kelsey Grammer reprises his role as Frasier Crane, a part he originated on Cheers in 1984. After nine seasons on Cheers and another 11 on Frasier, Grammer retired the role, but has been vocal for years about his desire to revisit the character.
The show's strongest suit is its nostalgia, but that's also potentially its downfall. The series feels every bit like a sitcom from the '90s, in both good and bad ways. Yeah, it's nice to see a more traditional sitcom, filmed in front of a live audience, but at times, it also yields a lot of déjà vu. You might be surprised how many times you can see the setup and payoff for jokes coming a mile away, because the show is dealing in old tropes.
Trying to have Frasier and David be a"pair" who are offset by Freddy is part of why the David character doesn't work: Frasier does not actually feel like he has anything more in common with David than he does with Freddy. Yes, David worships at the altar of Frasier , but Frasier does not reciprocate his adoration. It's a hiccup in the three-man comedy troupe that makes too many of the scenes with David fall flat.
