Paramount+ = CBS All Access “rebranding”, which = I won’t be watching.

Everything was so well done.

Well in real age time Marty Crane would be about 97 or 98 so I doubt he will be in the revival. His son would now be in his 30’s so I want to see how that is handled.

Then there is Niles, is he still married to Daphne, and will Maris return from exile? So many questions.

Every freaking studio operation is setting up its own special station you have to pay $7 or 8 a month for. And then they show commercials too. Good luck with that. Hulu is horrible with commercials.

So many movies we used to get free on Netflix or AMC or Prime they now want $4-5 or more to rent. Lol. Not a chance. Most the new movies suck and suck badly. Full of wokeness and 95lb women throwing 200lb fit men around. No thanks.

IIRC, in the last episode Frazier had said goodbye to Seattle to take his show to a bigger market but at the end he abandoned that to chase after his girlfriend (Laura Linney) to Chicago. Is that where they will pick up?

A great show in its original incarnation. But no John Mahoney now... and these retreads rarely reach the level of the first version. Can they not come up with something new?

Hollywood is almost completely out of creativity at this point. Just re-boots of old content, comic book and trilogy novel adaptations, sequels, and pseudo-biographical content. There are the occasional rarities but for the most part what comes out of the major studios is unwatchable.

Kelsey Grammar was in a great show called Boss several years ago. Forget which network, it was a premium cable network like Starz or something. Cancelled after the 2nd season. Which is probably for the best because most TV shows start to really go downhill somewhere around their 3rd season. Orange is the New Black is a perfect example of a show that should have ended after 3 seasons. Why do they think I am interested in the backstory of a minor character just to flesh out a couple more seasons? Well I guess there is demand for it.

The original show had its moments but I was only a sporadic watcher. More so in the early years than the later like most shows I watched when I watched network tv. I know Kelsey is one of the few slightly right actors in Hollyweird but frankly I have zero interest in any big entertainment product anymore good bad or ugly.

I think Kelsey has the worst family history story that I’ve ever heard.

Kelsey Grammer has spent 20 years as Frasier Crane.
9 years on Cheers and 11 on Frasier.

Awww c’mon! Leave well enough alone!!! The writers will be different and the actors aged.

Let us have our memories which are our dreams.

Yeah, Grammer is an out-and-proud conservative, in the club with Tom Selleck, Tim Allen, Chuck Norris, and others. He’s picture perfect as Frasier Crane. Didn’t surprise me to see him in Expendables 3 with that ensemble A-list cast.

Wonder if show will still be based in Seattle. Should be interesting.

Too late. Without John Mahoney won’t be good.
