Kelsey Grammer's role as Dr Frasier Crane will go down in history as one of the most iconic television characters ever. But when fans found out that the actor was reprising his role as the Seattle-based psychiatrist, there was a mixed response.
Some were thrilled to see Frasier back on screens in the form of a reboot, which is available now on Paramount+, however, others were convinced that the original show could never be replicated. The actor said of the reboot: "I gleefully anticipate sharing the next chapter in the continuing journey of Dr Frasier Crane."
The original version of the classic comedy show, that was a spin-off from Cheers, last aired 17 years ago, and many of the stars have moved on to further their acting careers and grow their families over the years. Meet the families and children of the main cast of Frasier here…
