Reply to comment by ILoveRegenHealth in ‘Frasier’ Sequel Series at Paramount+ Casts Anders Keith, Jess Salgueiro by DemiFiendRSA

You could have said the same thing when they spun off Frasier from Cheers. You never know it might be great.

I thought of that - the thing is, Frasier's award-winning writers were from Cheers.

That's the problem with this new Frasier reboot. It's an island. Nobody from Cheers/Frasier/Wings/Modern Family (same group of writers on all shows) are on this new reboot.

I'm not saying it's impossible for a surprise hit, but it's really unlikely given the TV track record of these reboots that have almost no attachment to the previous successful group. We will have to rely on a new set of writers and that could go any way.

Exactly what I was going to say. Other than Frasier himself and the occasional guest appearance, Frasier had no resemblance to Cheers. This is another phase in Frasier's life and shouldn't be a simple continuation of the last.
