Frasier (2023)

Warning!

Kelsey Grammer’s therapist-turned-Harvard educator is officially back in the Paramount+ revival to continue his final act in Boston.

Eventually, the new show will have to acknowledge it.

Frasier (2023)

Awarding Frasier with his own spinoff afterCheersendedwas a big risk.

Despite the popularity of the bar-set sitcom, its original spinoff,The Tortellis, was canceled early on.

That said, the gamble paid off when the Seattle-based Frasier succeeded.

He has always preferred luxury and the finer things in life, which was why he stood out inCheers.

He drank sherry and port, as well as attended galas and fundraisers something he barely did inCheers.

Instead of simply getting an apartment, he bought the building to ensure he could stay close to Freddy.

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.

Despite this, Frasier is noticeably more down-to-earth in his return to Boston.

He now hangs out at a pub/coffee house something that he never did in Seattle.

Overall, it appears as ifFrasier’s return to Boston transforms him into the character he once was inCheers.

TheFrasierseason 2premiere, “Ham,” effectively explains why.

A series of events, however, forces him to step back from fully enjoying the luxurious experience.

Frasier adapted so he could continue coming to Sam’s bar.

Much has been said about how Frasier is only as enjoyable as the people around him.

Interestingly, the group he hangs out with also partially molds his behavior and attitude.

WhileFrasier may never lose his elitist attitude, Boston has a way of toning it down.
