Anyone checked out the Frasier reboot?

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

Frasier is an effete, intellectual snob who continually gets his comeuppance. Satisfying from that angle.

Not a fan of re-boots. "Night Court" 2.0 was horrendous, and haven't gotten past the first episode of "Justified in the Big City" or whatever the new series is called.

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 So if Mahomes MVP, Super Bowl MVP, record yards year is obsolete why the **** does what Brock Purdy did last year matter?
Whoa... what is happening here? How is this in the Frazier thread?
His hatred and discontent is seeping into every CF thread, it seems.
Brock didn't start this war. But Brock will finish it.

My brother also had a major crush on Roz. Let me test a theory. Does Dr. Crusher from Star Trek fit into your type?

I dunno. Maybe.

It's a difficult thing to describe.

I didn't crush on any of the ladies on Friends, but I'd let Elaine from Seinfeld take me out dancing.

There was an episode where Martin and Niles pretend to be a couple. It's been years since I've watched it, so I don't know if it holds up, but at the time it was the funniest epsisode of TV I'd watched. (Right there with the Tuttle episode of MASH)

I'd have to give the original another try. My only memory/experience with the show was when my parents would drop me off at my grandparents house for the evening and my Grandpa would have it on. I'd try to watch it with him and it seemed so dry, slow moving and boring to my 8-12 year old mind. I never understood how he liked watching it. I'd only make it to maybe the first commercial break before running off to my Grandma to tell her I was bored and wanted to do something else. It is possible my adult mind could understand it more and enjoy it I suppose.

I was a massive Cheers fan. Watched reruns endlessly. I couldn't get hooked on Frazier. It was watchable and some of the episodes were hilarious, but never enough to keep me watching.

The new Justified series was good, I enjoyed it. That said, bringing back old characters and adversaries as they did near the end of the season doesn't seem like a good idea.

I was a big Frasier fan. I've definitely streamed the reruns a few times through. I'm not getting my hopes up on the reboot, but watched the first couple of episodes last night. It was fine. It's weird to me that they took Freddy in the direction they did and disappointing that Niles and Daphne aren't part of it.

I thought it was a nice throwback to the original Frasier when Freddy and his roommate were trying to fool Frasier and friends about their relationship to each other as that was a common trope in the original.

That episode is classic. The Ham Radio episode is the single best episode of any show ever in my opinion. It's just hilarious and uses all the side characters at their best.

Still flips me out a little to see the "original" Freddy in reruns and recognize him more as the sick kid in Baseketball.
