the radio play episode was weird to watch as a teenager as radio plays have never gone away in the UK

i love the spa one and the farces, which I normally can't stand. not watched them since I was at home with my eldest when he was a baby, so about 8-9 years

-- actually, this is not without precedent. when he was 10, he forged letters from leonard bernstein and told everyone they were pen pals.
-- oh yeah.
-- he'd come bounding up the stairs: "got another one from lenny!" we were all agog! UNTIL mr. bernstein wrote that his broadway debut was "candide" when everyone knows that it was "on the town". that's when we knew it was a fake!
-- the sloppy kid lettering was also a clue.

Same Frasier. New Skyline. The first two episodes of #Frasier premiere Thursday, Oct. 12 exclusively on #ParamountPlus pic.twitter.com/xIl41160hk— Paramount+ (@paramountplus) September 14, 2023
nothing here that's particularly hilarious, but it's not obviously terrible either? Them doing the strained father-son relationship from the original series but with Frasier as the father this time seems like it could work as a concept.

A lot of the humour in the original comes from how people tend to revert to their childhood role when around their parents and siblings no matter how old they get, so it's funny to see this fancy, educated guy bickering with his brother and his dad - I think Nicholas Lyndhurst is supposed to be an old contemporary of Frasier's from college who he reconnects with, so I guess he is taking on the role of the person who new Frasier before he was 'fully-formed', who can undermine him because he knows him to well, can see past the image he's carefully trying to project?
Would watch this if it was on any of the streaming apps I'm subbed to but no

I didn't hate the preview clip. "Amalgamated with the hoi polloi" is classic Frasier pomposity.

on the bright side, this will keep Kelsey Grammer contained to a soundstage for part of the day/year
