I was a huge Cheers fan and a moderate Frasier fan. Has anyone checked out the Frasier reboot? I have not. Seems to be one where there is a wide gap in opinions between critics and viewers.

I tried multiple times but could never get into Fraiser at all. What am I missing? I just didn't get it.

I was never a big fan, but then again I never liked 90210, Friends, or any of that other mild soap opera like stuff.

Some people, my wife among them, don't find him a likeable character. IMO, the other characters made the show.

He's 12 - 0 in two seasons. 13 - 0 if you include the Miami game last year where Jimmy G got hurt and he played like more than 3/4 of the game. So the sample size is bigger.
Nothing that happened last year matters. That's what you guys have been saying. So if Mahomes MVP, Super Bowl MVP, record yards year is obsolete why the **** does what Brock Purdy did last year matter?

It's a show meant for intellectuals, so that makes sense you wouldn't get it

Agreed. I'm not sure Frasier (the character) is supposed to be all that likeable. As a result, the show is full of jokes at his expense.

It is by far my favorite of the highly-popular sitcoms of the 90s. It was simultaneously highbrow and slapstick, and did both very well.

Some of my favorite episodes: "Ham Radio" (S4E18), "The Ski Lodge" (S5E14), "Room Service" (S5E15), all of which are very heavy on slapstick. "Ham Radio" and "Ski Lodge" are the two highest-rated Frasier episodes on IMDB.

Were you a Cheers fan? If not Fraiser may not have the same meaning to you.
