For YEARS we’ve been hearing that Frasier would be making a comeback, and now the reboot is actually happening and set to launch on CBS October 17. Our first question: Which castmembers are returning? Kelsey Grammer, of course, but David Hyde Pierce (he played Niles Crane) flatly turned DOWN his invite to return, and most of the original cast will appear only in guest spots. Frasier Crane is moving from his Seattle radio show back to Boston and not far from the original Cheers bar where he debuted. His now grown up son (born on the last episode of Cheers with then-wife Lilith) will co-star on the series. Producer/star Kelsey Grammer promises the new characters are highly entertaining. BUT…we think the most important thing missing are the brilliant WRITERS from the original Cheers and Frasier shows. Can newbies POSSIBLY live up to those high standards? We shall see…

Nobody wants to see the coked up gasbag geezer on television. I guess They need more rubbish content for streaming.
