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
