I do think it’s a bit more… generic on the nose Frasier humor, I guess? Which you’d think would be the same as the original show but it just feels a bit more, I don’t know fake?
No Niles so far, so theres no snide sniping at each other. Also no John Mahoney (Frasiers Dad) who did a decent amount of the heavy lifting when it came to making the series feel grounded.
The first few episodes of frasier felt pretty stilted and stiff too. I’m giving it a chance. I have a 3yo in the house who is just hoovering up language so broadly inoffensive is a good thing at the moment.
David Hyde Pearce has confirmed that he won’t be coming back for the revival as he feels he did everything he could/wanted to with the Niles character in the first run of the show.
Which is a shame because Niles and Frasiers banter was one of the things that made the show special, it was so good that they found a way to put it in The Simpsons.

I’m pretty sure John Mahoney won’t be coming back either.
Never say never, they brought Tupac back for Coachella that one time!
That’s why I hedged with “pretty sure”. We live in crazy times.
