In the waning months of December, I found myself doing my usual holiday ritual of watching my favorite Christmas movies. Thanks to Hulu’s censorship of holiday episodes (why are they the only ones that can do this?), it was easy to find the right episodes, and I ended up watching them all. FrasierChristmas pictures. It was better than I remembered, but like Lillith’s arrival at the Christmas party, one thing spoiled my enjoyment: remembering that Frasier the reboot is terrible and may be the best example of a bad TV revival.

The Frasier Reboot Plot

If you haven’t had the dubious pleasure of experiencing it Frasier restart yourself, here’s a summary: we start with our famous character at the crossroads after her father died, Charlotte left her, and her show Dr. Phil-esque finish. He decides to start over, returning to Boston to start a teaching gig at Harvard and rebuilding his relationship with his son. However, everything from the challenges of settling into this new job and finding the same culture as his firefighter son constantly reminds me that even though Frasier has grown up, he’s not smart.

Why It’s Bad

That’s faster than Eddie rushing to the bathroom, guess what? Frasier reboot is the ultimate example of a bad TV revival? The first and perhaps the biggest reason is that the cast of the revival is missing all the elements that made the show such a success. The returning cast is often small, leaving audiences with new characters who aren’t as interesting or compelling as the old cast.

It’s not the theater’s fault. Actors often have talent, but only as a preliminary Frasier writer Ken Levine explained on Hollywood & Levine, none of the characters in the reboot but his son has a real connection with Frasier. This includes fellow Harvard professor Alan Cornwall, who he says is a “close friend” but “has never been mentioned once” Thank you or Frasier. This is a good point, and the longer he talked, the more I realized that many of the problems with the nature of the show are those that continue to explain (in stories and jokes) what could be the resurgence of the star.

Levine’s confusion also includes Eve, a new mother who is raising Frasier’s son by rekindling her firefighter relationship after his death. Levine explains that we need to ask ourselves the most important question about his character: “What does this have to do with Frasier?” He then asked if it would be possible to “lose that character” before bluntly answering his question: “I can.”

The last Frasier reboot that Levine focused on was Olivia Finch, Frasier’s Dean at Harvard who is eager to hire celebrities to teach at the university. The author asked a big question: when it comes to a top university like Harvard, “what does *** give” when it comes to hiring famous experts, something that would be important for “a very small college, another university made up of Middlebury University. .” His likability also makes it difficult to answer “what’s his role?” when it comes to playing Mr. Frasier around.

It’s Getting Better

Reading his mind felt like a revelation. To be honest, I felt like Frasier himself when I was watching this new series, and Levine came on as Martin to speak clearly in me. An integrated display is, by definition, nothing without its letters, and Frasier The reboot always succeeds or fails depending on the characters’ abilities. But compared to the past Frasier on the new resume, it’s easy to see that the new look failed on every front.

Anyway, everything FrasierMistakes didn’t stop the reboot from getting a second season, and that season should (to be fair) manage to fix the existing characters and bring back the much-loved Roz Doyle. While Season 1 was the best example of a bad TV revival, Season 2 looks like the show is moving forward (if slowly, and with vague characters) in the right direction. And that leaves us with the right values ​​to read Frasier The Christmas episode: that it’s never too late for even the worst to work to become good.
