James Burrows, who has directed episodes of Cheers and Frasier, claims the upcoming Frasier reboot is as good, if not better than the original show.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Frasier director James Burrows claims the upcoming reboot is just as good, if not better than the original show. Coming to Paramount+, the revival will once again feature the return of Kelsey Grammer's psychiatrist Frasier Crane, who was first introduced in Cheers season 3 in 1984 before receiving his own eponymous spin-off in 1993.
Ahead of the Frasier reboot release date on October 12, Burrows made a bold claim about the show in an interview with The Guardian. Burrows, who directed 237 episodes of Cheers and 32 episodes of the original Frasier – says the upcoming reboot, which he directed the first two episodes of, is just as good, if not better than the original show. Read his full quote below:
My goal was to protect the character. To make sure that the writing was equal to, if not better than, the original, and in essence to protect Kelsey. But I found that the writing was exquisite, certainly as good as the previous show, and so was the cast. Could The Frasier Reboot Actually Be Better Than The Original Show? Burrows saying the reboot could be just as good, if not better than the original show is clearly a bold claim. Frasier aired for 11 successful seasons from 1993 to 2004 and enjoyed consistently strong ratings during its run.
Today, Frasier still stands as one of the most acclaimed comedies of all time, so the revival certainly has a lot to live up to. However, the reboot's biggest challenge is recapturing this magic without the original cast. Though the series owes its namesake to Frasier Crane, his brother Niles and father Martin were just as instrumental to the show's success, both of whom did not return for the reboot.Instead, the revival has essentially replaced its missing characters.
