5 Main Reasons to Rewatch Frasier Reboot
The show is not as bad as you might have thought at first.
Based on already popular projects, reboots always struggle to win over audiences. This is certainly the case with Paramount+'s Frasier, which revives the cult NBC sitcom that garnered legions of fans during its eleven-season run. However, the new comedy show turns out to be pretty good if you approach it with an open mind.
Here are five reasons to rewatch Frasier reboot.
Appreciation of the Characters
Sure, we all miss the original Frasier cast and long to see the actors reprise their iconic roles. So it's no wonder that Bebe Neuwirth's cameo as Lilith and Peri Gilpin's guest appearance as Roz thrilled fans. But it also keeps us from enjoying the new show and its incredibly talented cast.
In this case, rewatching the first season of the reboot might help you appreciate the new characters better, as they will most likely grow on you this time.
Same Old Frasier
When re-watching the Paramount+ sitcom, you'll notice the most important thing - it follows the same titular character, who hasn't changed much since his tenure on the eponymous NBC comedy. Dr. Crane is still hilarious, unlucky in love, and blinded by his pursuit of prestige and social status. As a result, he gets into the same old kinds of trouble that were so fun to watch two decades ago.
A Sense of Continuity
While the reboot is set in Boston and seems to have little in common with the original, fan-favorite sitcom, it does offer a great sense of continuity as it explores some of the old storylines that you'll inevitably notice if you decide to watch the show again. For example, Niles' son David, who unlike his father is one of the main characters in the revamped Frasier, bears a great resemblance to his younger self in the original sitcom and seems to have become exactly what that little boy might have become had the show continued for another two decades.
A Fresh Start
Even if you didn't like the reboot, give it another try, because you'll see that it offers an exciting fresh start to another potentially great comedy show.
Moreover, the revival is a brilliant blend of Frasier's classic humor and style, which most modern sitcoms lack, and a contemporary setting that allows for more relatable situations to be played out.
High Hopes
Maybe Season 1 of Paramount+'s Frasier wasn't great, but it can definitely give you hope that the next installments will be better, more fun, and more exciting. In the end, it's best to approach things with an open mind and a positive outlook. So watch the show again and get excited about its future. Who knows what the future holds?
