He picks up his character and doesn't skip a beat! Just the rest of the cast can't keep up with him.
He keeps me coming back or I wouldn't have made it past the first episode.
First, the laugh track. Make it stop, can we do a real audience?
Secondly, the entire new cast of the show is meh...at best.
The original was a really tough act to follow and knowing that, casting could have stepped it up.
The new cast/writing goes for the standard and prescribed laughs, which have become common in newer sitcoms.
The actor delivery becomes formulaic. It's as if they wandered off a Disney set and found themselves on this show; confused and insecure.
There isn't anything much unique about the new show Frasier, other than it taking place in Boston and reuniting with his son.
What made Cheers and Frasier (the original) interesting, each show was character/actor/story driven. This reboot seemed rushed and disorganized.
Lastly, locations and sets arent very dynamic. Cheers and Frasier (the original) took had more interesting set location; The bar in Cheers, the apartment (original Frasier), cafe nervosa, the radio station...the sets became a character in and of themselves.
After episode 6, it does start to pick up. The scripts are more tightly written with Frazier's antics. There are cameo performances from Lilith and Roz.
I'm just not in love with it, like the original. I'm hoping the show can recast or at least find its rhythm.
