Whoa. So Frasier is one of my favorite shows ever. I knew Kelsey was flirting with bringing it back and then the pandemic happened and squashed it. I didn't realize they are in the middle of shooting the revival already. Was skimming through reddit and saw people talking about going to tapings so looked it up and sure enough they are up and running.

I have mixed feelings on this. None of the original cast is coming back for regular cast roles unless you want to count Lilith. I'm sure most will drop back in like the Cheers cast did in Frasier. This climate today is no good for comedy sitcoms to thrive like they did during the show's original run. However if it does some how touch anywhere near the original show it will be the best comedy out right now. Reboots/revivals usually always suck.
The only thing that gives me hope is Kelsey cares too much about the character to let it be atrocious. I know Burrows is directing some episodes. Apparently Fraiser will be back in Boston, they are bringing back Lilith and they cast his son. I think he might be a college professor now which will provide plenty of ammo like his talk show did. If they go the route that Frasier's son grew up to be a sports loving dude like Frasier dad that would be a funny dynamic. I sincerely doubt it can reach the heights of the original which I cherish...but I will certainly give it a try. Here's to hoping it isn't trash.
