Kelsey Grammer and CBS Are Looking at Rebooting FRASIER!

It looks like we might end up seeing a reboot of the classic series Frasier! According to Deadline, Kelsey Grammer and CBS are definitely interested in developing it. Here's the thing, though, it's being planned as a hard reboot that will take place in a new city, "with the title character, played by Grammer, as a possible link to the Emmy-winning 1993 series." But it will mostly focus on new characters.

According to the report, Grammer is currently meeting with writers who are pitching different concepts for the potential reboot series. "If the producers settle on a writer and a premise, the project could move beyond exploratory stage."

I'm a huge fan of Frasier and I'd definitely be more interested in a series that picked up with Grammer's character instead of a hard reboot with new characters set in a new city. But, if the series ends up moving forward I'll give it a shot and if it's filled with good characters and good writing... great!

A reboot would have a lot to live up to, though. After all, Frasier set a record for the most Emmy Awards won by a scripted series at the time with 37 wins, including five consecutive Emmys for Outstanding Comedy Series.
