Grammer slipped back into this character so seamlessly that it was almost as if two decades hadnt passed.
In the originalFrasier, the characters regular hangout spot was a coffee shop.
In the reboot, much like inCheers,its a bar (but not Cheers).
The series ran for 11 seasons and gave rise to popular spin-off shows such as Frasier.
The new characters feel pretty underdeveloped so far, but the reboot is only 10 episodes in.
The reboots Freddy is like a totally different person.

In the original show, Freddy was like a mini version of Frasier.
He was a well-read intellectual who aced a spelling bee.
But in the reboot,Freddy is more like Martin.Hes a regular, blue-collar guy.
One of the most well-known American sitcoms of the 1980s and 90s, Cheers is primarily set in Boston at the Cheers bar, and features and ensemble cast that includes Ted Danson, Shelley Long, Rhea Pearlman, Kelsey Grammer, and George Wendt. Danson’s Sam Malone acts as the bar’s proprietor, and episodes depict the lives of Cheers' staff and patrons during the bar’s operating hours. The series ran for 11 seasons and gave rise to popular spin-off shows such as Frasier.
The reboots Freddy is like a totally different person.
The dialogue is a big reason why the reboot doesnt quite feel like the original series.
But in the reboot, Frasier is no longer a media personality.
Both Alan and Olivia are stuffy, holier-than-thou intellectuals like Frasier.
The contrast between Frasier and his Harvard colleagues isnt as stark as his contrast with Roz or Bulldog.
Sitcoms looked a lot better when their visual style was a little grungier and dirtier.
He mightve been pompous and self-obsessed, but everything went wrong for him.
Hes always enjoyed being famous and getting his ego stroked by adoring fans.
But in the original series, Frasier was more of a local celebrity.
He was known across Seattle, but he didnt have many fans outside the city.
And with that increased fame, Frasiers arrogance around his fame has also increased.
Frasiers outfits are no longer perfectly coordinated and theyre no longer effortlessly debonair.
He even wears jeans!
The Frasier of the original series wouldnt be caught dead in a pair of jeans.
The Frasier reboot on Paramount+ was a mixed bag of classic Frasier updated for a new era.
These are the things season 2 needs to do to improve it.
