Let's tackle the elephant in the room first: John Mahoney, David Hyde-Pierce, Jane Leeves and Peri Gilpin can't be replaced. That classic Frasier is gone, but available in reruns.
The good news is, this new Frasier is pretty good. Kelsey Grammar is in top form, and the writing doesn't let him, or us, down. Nicholas Lyndhurst (of 'Only Fools and Horses' fame) is on board as a comedic foil. Jack Cutmore-Scott, another Brit, plays Frasier's son and is also meant to be the new Martin Crane. Whilst nephew, David Crane (Anders Keith), is meant to fill the role of Niles. Eve (Jess Salgueiro) is sort of Roz. The weak link in this cast is Olivia, played by Toks Olagundoye.
We have a new bar/hangout, with a cast of interesting characters, and Frasier has a new job teaching at Harvard, which will be the new radio station.
I was very trepidatious that what I was about to watch would pale in comparison to one of the greatest comedy series' of all time, but I was happily wrong. I now have a new series to look forward to every week.
