Great news everyone!
Not only is Blade Runner getting a TV show, Paramount+ has rebooted the greatest show from the 90s: Frasier.
Details are scant, but it appears that this new iteration will take place in Toronto, where Paramount+ studios are conveniently located. But to be honest guys, I’m not too thrilled about the direction of this show.
For example, in the pilot episode, we learn that Frasier Crane was “canceled” from his Seattle radio program for dropping racial slurs on air IN ADDITION to facing numerous sexual harassment allegations from Roz Doyle which Frasier attributes to his relapsed alcoholism. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Jordan Peterson has been cast to play himself as he advocates for Frasier’s employment as a professor at the University of Toronto. Since David Hyde Pierce will not be returning as a series regular, Peterson will be stepping in as Frasier’s sidekick. The two will, presumably, share colorful banter regarding Freudian vs Jungian schools of psychology as they lament cancel culture on college campuses.
Another strange decision from Paramount+ is the casting of Slavoj Zizek, again playing himself, for frequent guest appearances. Not much is known about this role, but it is presumed that Zizek will serve as Peterson’s arch nemesis by interfering in his numerous failed romantic relationships (i.e. by cockblocking him).
Kelsey Grammer will serve as executive producer and head writer.
I’m left scratching my head on why Paramount+ greenlit this project. Frasier is a beloved show. It’s just an odd decision from Grammer to make his most famous character a rabid 9-11 Truther. Perhaps Paramount should go back to the drawing board on this one.
That’s just my two cents

Hmm, sounds like this reboot may end up being a bridge too far for most Frasier fans to accept. It’s often tough to match, or even come close to, the quality of an original show, though a few have managed to pull it off.

All joking aside, while the rest of the cast were no slouches, David Hyde Pierce made that show. It’s gonna by hard for Kelsey Grammer to find that kind of chemistry with any other actor/character
