In these most neurotic times for our sweet nation Frasier's ever present struggles with his neuroses are so wonderfully welcomed. ... They make ours feel normal, and thus we are more charitable to each other. . . Welcome back Frasier; it is high time you came back!
The clips I've seen of this show make me wonder how much this show exists because it's Kelsey Grammar's way of working through a lot of heavy personal issues.
The character development over their last 9 episodes of the new series has been phenomenal. Frasier’s speech about Freddie reminds me of the softball, the goth and the Crane’s go camping episodes. More importantly it reminds me of the scene where Niles and Frasier were in Martin’s bedroom after his heart attack. David Hyde Pearce actually had tears in his eyes during the scene.
It’s because he has had so much loss in his life but he’s still had the love in his heart and life so he can get through life and share it with the audience and his family.
Sure, he has so much love in his heart that he supports Trump. You know what that makes Mr. Grammer?.A complete and utter asshole. I now understand why the rest of the okd cast declined to participate in this reboot.
@@jamesbaggett7223It means something when you support a hateful, lying criminal demagogue who is bent on destroyingour democracy. So, f*** him.. Seems likely to me that this is the reason some of his former co-stars did not want to participate. In the end, however, the real problem is this new show is not funny.
You help your children, but at the end of the day it’s down to them so I would suggest when they reach their early 20s. You let them go and they will quite literally will sink or swim but you’ve laid the foundation for them. Good advice, love and affection, financial support through education. What more are you supposed to do?
Frasier didn’t lay a foundation. He wasn’t present for his son. He lived on the other side of the country. That’s why he feels guilty. And many children struggle to launch when the base is not secure.
Oh my god.. I haven't seen Nick Lyndhurst in anything for so long, it took me a moment to realise I was looking at Rodders! 😭 Weird to hear him with a posh accent as well lol
@@Leigh69 He's barely adjusting to sound posh. Lyndhurst like most of the OFaH's cast was putting on an accent for their character. John Challis (Boycie) for example sounded more like a Royal Navy captain than a used car salesman in real life.
As I am aware this is a new take or new chapter in the life of Frasier I still believe this show misses the fatal dry whit of David Hyde Pierce's 'Niles' The snobby, anxious qualities provided a foil for Frasier's own issues. Whilst at times being able to excel in magnitude.
I think if the character’s Eve and David were more than filler or to prove a point this show could have more than one season. What was great about the original cast were the characters were fully formed with particular actors in mind. Here the only characters fully formed or already known are Frasier, Lilith, Freddie and Alan. Everyone else is sounding board and there’s no ricochet. The writers need to create these characters in such a way the actors can embody them instead of just performing words. David seems to be like one of these characters. They need to give him more personality and a few eccentricities like they did Niles at least a good backstory like Roz from the original series. If David were to have the physical comedy of Niles but the attitude of Daphne it might be more believable. For now Ye seem like the spineless Niles without the zing banter and eloquence.
I'm loving the sequel so far (and why is everyone calling it a reboot? It's not a bl##dy reboot), but the character of David Crane is just not working. He feels showhorned in and overplayed for cheap laughs. At best, he just comes over as a pale attempt at a one-dimensional, Sheldon Cooper copy&paste. If they had someone with the wit and brains of Niles, but with the down to earth smarts and sheer "don't mess with me" balls of Daphne, you'd have an interesting character for Frasier and Freddy to bounce off of. But, as he is, David sticks out like a very unfunny (and getting gradually more and more annoying) sore thumb.
David, to me just walks around just being stupid and annoying, he is not funny at all. I don't even think he is needed on the show. I do like the Alan character, someone Frasier's age group to be a friend. Frasier seems well, obviously older, but he looks more tired, and slower, but, aren't we all....I think the set decor is rather boring and very drab looking. That wallpaper, ugh....
Yea, truth be told, I could see it as a gag, David(Niles and Daphne's son) thinks he psychic like Daphne, but because of his growing up with Gertrude and Daphne's brothers, everybody just thinks of him as some kind of scam artist,
@@davidm113It's literally the worst 'posh' English accent I've heard. Quite irrespective of where he was brought up, it is clipped, forced and false. Atrocious.
Oh brother, every episode is deconstructing the star character because he’s a rich white man. I never saw him not be therefor Freddy on the original show seeing as Freddy was a supporting side character at best.
@@dawnkindnesscountsmost5991 Also Freddie Starr, Freddie Flintoff, Freddie Highmore and Freddie Prinze Jr. Not to mention, my late grand-dad, though he was of a very different generation, having been born in 1884!
Oh no, this is just never going to be as good as the original series with none of the original characters. And Nicholas Lyndhurst?? No thank you it's not working..... I'm not listening!
I had high hopes, and came with an open mind, but this series is ruining both the original Frasier and Only Fools and Horses for me. I'm watching it only out of morbid interest now. The writing is sadly not anywhere near the same level, and at least twice I've predicted lame punchlines at the start of a dialogue. The only chuckle I had in this episode was when Frasier took a banana call from the president. Good job everyone for trying though. 2/10
most everyone agrees that the Freddy actor is not a fit. I also think they did a bad cast with him. Not to knock the actor, but I don't think he is a good Freddie. I don't like the shape of his mouth either for some reason, and the rosey cheeks, they annoy me. yes, I'm shallow. LOL

Mr Lyndhurst, really adds to the calibre of the cast, he’s worked with British royalty and it shows.
Nicholas is amazing every scene he is in is just so good.
The clips I've seen of this show make me wonder how much this show exists because it's Kelsey Grammar's way of working through a lot of heavy personal issues.
Kelsey and Nicholas are a brilliant combo.
I cringe...I half expect Del Boy and Uncle Albert to waltz in and say 'Hello Rodney'. Puts me right off.

Grammar is a damn good actor. He’s capable of being funny but showing a vulnerable pathos
It’s because he has had so much loss in his life but he’s still had the love in his heart and life so he can get through life and share it with the audience and his family.
Totally agree with you…
Sure, he has so much love in his heart that he supports Trump. You know what that makes Mr. Grammer?.A complete and utter asshole. I now understand why the rest of the okd cast declined to participate in this reboot.
@@gheller2261 wtf does political opinion mean in this case

Oh Frasier never change Fredrik place his comedy like his dad 😅😅😅😅
Thanks
Roz, next week's season finale..can't wait
Wonder if Alice will be mentioned?

That's his natural voice.
@@DomWeaselhis natural voice but not his natural accent

I think they should bring back Frasier’s first wife, played by Emma Thompson.
Omg Rodney Trotter!
Frasier resembles Harvey Korman now
As I am aware this is a new take or new chapter in the life of Frasier
I still believe this show misses
the fatal dry whit of
David Hyde Pierce's 'Niles'
The snobby, anxious qualities provided a foil for Frasier's own issues. Whilst at times being able to excel in magnitude.
Hard to believe ‘Rodney’ in Frasier.
Love this show!!
How’s it going Dave
Rodders❤
Guilt. A useless emotion.

*or at least a good backstory
Why are they the color of someone's Luggage in the thumbnail?
He should colour his hair
I dont if i digg this fraiser/only fools and horses crossover

The writers do not understand Niles and Daphne. Freddy and David should be like brothers.
not really, Freddie would be much older than David, and they are cousins.@@Yondainc
I know that's old now, in the beginning yes "reboot" now it's in the second season, or 13th season technically lol it's not reboot anymore
"Promo SM" 😣
No son of Daphne Moon would have been so coddled...
The son of Niles Crane would
I guess David never met his grandma Gertrude or one of his uncles on his mom's side.
Thank you! I thought this exact same thing. Yes, he was Niles' son, but he would have also had Daphne's influence.
Yea, truth be told, I could see it as a gag, David(Niles and Daphne's son) thinks he psychic like Daphne, but because of his growing up with Gertrude and Daphne's brothers, everybody just thinks of him as some kind of scam artist,
+ @lenawagenfuehr53 You seem to forget who his father is LOL!!!
wtf is rodney doing chatting with a posh english accent in USA ... does Del boy know he is there putting on his airs and graces
Because he’s from West Sussex that’s how people from his town speak, nearly all the cast from Only Fools have/ had posh accents.
@@davidm113It's literally the worst 'posh' English accent I've heard. Quite irrespective of where he was brought up, it is clipped, forced and false. Atrocious.
Thw British dude needs ro go
God this looks terrible
Oh brother, every episode is deconstructing the star character because he’s a rich white man. I never saw him not be therefor Freddy on the original show seeing as Freddy was a supporting side character at best.
The least believable thing about this show is that a grown man would allow himself to be called “Freddie.” That is literally my dog’s name.
It was my dog's name too, but I had the decency to avoid the diminutive.
IKR! He should be Fred...
Freddie Mercury would like to have a posthumous word with you..... just to talk. Really.
@@dawnkindnesscountsmost5991if you know but the real name of Freddie Mercury is Farohk Bulsara
@@dawnkindnesscountsmost5991 Also Freddie Starr, Freddie Flintoff, Freddie Highmore and Freddie Prinze Jr. Not to mention, my late grand-dad, though he was of a very different generation, having been born in 1884!

Nicholas Lybdhurst is dreadful as fake Nialls. The guy who is playing Freddy is horribly miscast. The writing is feeble.
that's why we watch in short clips
But *apart* from that, you quite liked it!
yes yes yes, that's what I do, lol @@kellychuba
most everyone agrees that the Freddy actor is not a fit. I also think they did a bad cast with him. Not to knock the actor, but I don't think he is a good Freddie. I don't like the shape of his mouth either for some reason, and the rosey cheeks, they annoy me. yes, I'm shallow. LOL
Picky picky picky
Its not the same :/ just makes me feel old :(
