I'll Say It: Niles' Replacement in the 'Frasier' Revival Is the Only Part of the Show That Worked

Over its eleven-season run on NBC, Frasier, the spin-off from Cheers of Kelsey Grammer's Frasier Crane character, became an all-time sitcom classic that won several Emmys and ended up arguably being better than the show it came from. In 2004, the series came to an end, but in the era of reboots, Frasier returned to Paramount+ in 2023. Unfortunately, while it still had the same name and Grammer was playing the same character, everything else was different. Gone was Seattle, with Dr. Crane back in Boston in an attempt to reconnect with his now adult son, Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott).
