If you liked the old Frasier, you probably will like the new one.

Frasier is still the same old pompous, arrogant snob he always was, but a lot of years have passed. In the interim, he has made a lot of money with a television show and now has decided to retire and return to Boston where his son Freddy lives.

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.

Frazier’s character was great when he was on Cheers. On his own show, he and his brothers snooty/snobby Seattle shrink characters were unwatchable. Their father’s character was the only redeeming thing about the show.

I'm watching and enjoying it. I've been in the bad habit of binge watching, so I'm having to be patient.

I thought that I was the only one who knew about Corner Gas.

It is actually pretty good - at least the first couple of seasons.

For Canadians on TOTV, did people from Saskatchewan appreciate the way they were depicted??

Gotta luv Emma and Oscar. Of course, now I say, “jackazz,” a lot more than I used to.

Favorite Corner Gas episode? — When Karen goes fishing with Hank. . .or anything about Emma and Oscar.

I think the show won awards in Canada.

I never think of it as being about people from Saskatchewan; I just see it as being about people.

I need to find the first episode. So far, not being repeated on Direct TV.

We loved Corner Gas! We bought all the seasons on blu-ray.

Sorry to butt in.
But.
If you get a chance to watch the latest Planet Earth from BBC productions, do so.
Like all the other series, truly amazing.
Photography doesn't get better than this.

PS. If you have a half decent VPN you can watch it on BBC iPlayer.

I thought it was boring, woke, and a complete waste of my time.

Watched Frazier often and enjoyed it. Kelsey Grammer is a great actor. He is also one of the most conservative actors in Hollywood. Don't agree with the woke description.

Loved the old Frasier. I'll give it try.
