Frasier 2.0

[Petcha]

I can still not comprehend how or why Lucy Mangan has a job as a reviewer on a major newspaper. I'm not alone (going on the BTL comments on all her reviews) in having an inverse opinion on her star count on every single review she gives. If it's five stars, it's sure to be shit. If it's one star, hit download immediately.

Frasier review – Kelsey Grammer is as perfect as ever

At first, this reboot struggles. But after a few episodes, the chemistry and the magic are back, all helmed by its lead’s faultless performance – and it is a joy to watch

How in the fuck could you give this four stars?

I’m aware of that, but I’d like to think you can tell a bit about successful actors by the roles they play. If Frasier was a real life person, he would very likely vote Democrat, or at worst for a socially liberal Republican, if there’s ever such a thing. I wouldn’t expect Mel Gibson to accept a role in Life of Brian, just I I wouldn’t have expected a Trump supporter to revel in a character that pretty much combats as his day job the extremist, cruel, unreasoned hate-driven ideology of Trumpworld.

Actors be actors. They're good at playing different people with different outlooks.

His right wing views aren’t exactly new. He’s always been like that

Bonkers puffpiece here. I must have been watching a completely different show

‘I cast a long shadow’: Kelsey Grammer on Frasier, fame and why God is the best therapist

Ahead of his reboot’s climax, the emotional star talks about being ‘filthy rich’, his love-fest with Nicholas Lyndhurst – and hearing from Marty via a medium

I wonder if it's intentional that it actually makes Grammer look worse by building him up. Like the bit about meeting 30-year-olds who've never seen Frasier and that making him wonder "what's going on at home."

The lack of most of the supporting cast makes more sense when you think about who they'd have to work with. Even if they don't have major political objections (and they might well do) they might have just decided they were rich enough and had enough of a legacy without spending another day "in his shadow."

No wonder the show isn't funny - he's driven out all the people who can move with the times and still write good comedy.

His political beliefs certainly explain why he's now got orange skin anyway.

What a shame. I was watching the old Frasier yesterday on C4 and it's still genuinely LOL stuff.

I am sure I’ll be bringing untold joy to all fans of Frasier by pointing out that a second season of the remake has been made and just dropped on Paramount+

Watched first episode of the rebooted show and can't say was at all impressed

‘’Wasn’t all that impressed” is very likely the most positive review it haa ever enjoyed as well

Loved Cheers and most of the original run of Frasier (despite occasional continuity errors) and not at all against revivals (currently losing my mind in joy and wonder over season 3 of TP) but wish Kelsey Grammer had pushed for a revival of Boss, instead.

I watched the first season, it's OK but not even remotely as funny as the original. Mrs Q is also a big fan of the original but only stuck 2 episodes of the revival.
I probably will watch it when I get the chance.

 

[skyscraper101]

I don't think I can bring myself to watch any more than I already did. It's just so bad compared to the original which was genius.

If you ever feel tempted to give a try to S2, go straight to ep 5. It features the return of one of my all-time supporting characters from the original series, and it won’t fuck up the story arc in the unlikely case you end up deciding to watch the season.

 

[Petcha]

Is season 2 any better in general? please tell me Rodney's not still in it?

I only lasted two episodes like most people.

I put this on quietly by my bed last night to go to sleep too. Calming voice, mostly dull flat content with just enough interest to catch your thoughts, but then gently lead you away to nod.
