Dr. Frasier Crane is back and off the radio into a retirement job as a professor? If your a fan of the original series and especially of Grammer it works. Basically, this reboot has transplanted the main character into a different city with a new bunch of people to play off. It updates son Frederick into a dysfunctional adult. This actually makes sense as the original marriage that produced the marriage was strange and its train come off the wheels 2 series ago. It should produce a son with issues. Makes perfect sense to me.
A nice dedication to Martin Crane with an actual clip of the late actor is touching. He was the heart of the last series. The rocky transition to Frasier trying to replace his dad to his son is a good plot line. Bringing back Roz in the last episode is a good touch too though they have to give her something to do if they plan to keep her. While the conflict between Frasier and Niles is missing, Frederick fills that space quite nicely.
Given time to develop and maybe some more scripting might get this to the level of the last show, it is already on my level of 7 that is all Cheers ever was. In some ways it is better as Cheers tended to over do every relationship Sam Malone ever had. Frasier here is more humble though his ego trip is better because we do not have the annoying relationships of a Sam and Diane (which nearly ended Cheers years before it went off).
This reboot shows promise, and it could get back to the prior series of quality. It kind of depends upon where it goes after this first 10 episodes.
