The storyline will be familiar to the old fans, but with a twist — the character of Freddy is like his grandfather.
The supporting cast are all very good, including Niles and Daphne’s son.
The same format is used with the clever titles for each scene and a touch here and there of the comedy of errors style of writing.
It is streaming on Paramount Plus and is now 5 episodes in.

PS: Every once in a while, I like to revisit one of my favorite sitcoms Corner Gas for a few episodes. It is Canadian and now on Freevee. The only way to explain it is Seinfeld meets Northern Exposure.
I love well written sitcoms. But there are not many new ones.

We loved the original, and we’re enjoying this one. Great description of the series. Will look for Corner Gas. Thanks!
