Despite reboot fatigue setting in, Paramount+'s Frasier knocks the dust off of the Cheers universe to offer a comedy worth watching.
of television viewing. Which would I watch live and which would I set my VHS to record so I could watch later?always won out. I was actually there when the cast famously appeared live outside of the real Bull & Finch pub in Boston after the show’s series finale., I had my doubts. The persnickety psychiatrist played by Kelsey Grammer wasn’t my favorite character on the series , and I just couldn’t see how Frasier could carry a whole series.
But here’s the thing: the show totally works. The comedic beats, witty repartee, and comedy of errors-pratfalls and misunderstandings are all still there. The first episode plays homage to the late Mahoney as both Frasier and Freddy wrestle with Martin’s death. And Mahoney will live on in the series—the bar they all frequent is fittingly called Mahoney’s.
The supporting cast is terrific, particularly Cutmore-Scott, who is a great foil for Grammer. The show’s best scenes are the two of them navigating Frasier and Freddy’s fragile relationship. And Keith is exactly who you would expect Niles’ son to be. The whole cast just works and hums along in comedic perfection. The jokes come fast and quick. And likebefore it, the show just assumes we will be able to keep up. “I’m still talking Oedipus” is just one example of a hilarious throwaway line.
Having lived in the Boston area for decades, I appreciate the show’s attention to detail. Someone on the writing staff knows the area to have both Dorchester and Mattapan mentioned in one scene. And while I don’t totally believe that Frasier wouldn’t know the correct way to pronounce the Boston Celtics, I still appreciated the “touchdown for Big Papi” joke.
