TV’s newest blast from the past — a revival of “Frasier” — has an extremely tough task, because the original series was one of the best sitcoms in television history.
Remarkably, when it premiered in September 1993, “Frasier” hit the ground running. The character of Frasier Crane wasn’t new; Kelsey Grammer played him for nine seasons on “Cheers” , appearing in 202 episodes of that show. He was an often-amusing character, but the idea that he could carry a show that would rival — maybe even exceed — “Cheers” seemed, well, laughable.
As the sequel begins, Frasier arrives in Boston to deliver a lecture at his alma mater, Harvard. He’s just come from his father’s funeral — John Mahoney, who played Martin Crane, died in 2018 — and he’s estranged from his son, Freddy . Martin was a retired police officer, a regular guy who never understood Frasier’s pompous, stuffy, snobbish airs. Freddy is a firefighter, a regular guy who’s kind of embarrassed by his father’s behavior.
Frasier has actually appeared in three series — “Cheers,” “Frasier” and “Wings.” Both Frasier and his then-wife, Lilith , guest starred in the February 1992 “Wings” episode titled “Planes, Trains and Visiting Cranes.”
