After two decades, the character Dr. Frasier Crane returns in a new sitcom, “Frasier,”...

You could say Joe Cristalli tweeted his role as co-executive producer and co-showrunner on the new “Frasier” sitcom into existence. About 10 years ago as a fledgling TV writer and “Frasier” super fan, Cristalli started a Twitter account with “random jokes' about the show and character made famous by Kelsey Grammer in the sitcoms “Cheers” and “Frasier.” “It was stupid and nobody cared about it. I think I had maybe 3,000 followers at its height,' he recalled in a recent interview.

'There’s a working-without-a-net kind of feeling and you really are putting all your work and all your creativity out there for people to judge. You don’t know something works until you get that immediate response, but that immediate response is awesome.” Famed sitcom director James Burrows who worked with Grammer on both “Cheers” and “Frasier” signed on to direct two episodes. “It’s such a comfort because he didn’t have to do the show,' said Cristalli.
