Grammer says a new Frasier TV show is happening. Headlines keep calling it a "reboot," but if you read the article, it really ins't. It's more a sequel.
And in the sequel Frasier has abandoned his career as a therapist and decided to model himself on his old man and become a policeman. It is set in Chicago which has been overrun by the walking dead, and each week Frazier has to battle zombies.

With a dragon for his partner - dragons are hot right now.....
I've been streaming Frasier lately, in episodic order.
It's a classic sitcom and it is done very well. The professions of the brothers are richly mined for humor, as are the interactions of the duo with all their blue-collar/down-to-earth associates (Martin, Daphne, Roz, etc.). All are masters of physical comedy in both the pratfall as well as the saying-it-all-with-a-look senses. It really stands out in an age where sitcoms have been increasingly 'breaking the mold' (necessarily, IMO) for the past 2+ decades.
I'm currently in Season 4 and it is still amusing but I know I getting close to the end of my viewing. There's no way I'll watch anywhere close to the entire eleven seasons. Why? Because it's mostly done all it's going to do. It entertains, but the jokes are more variations on the same thing. And I know the will-they-or-won't-they Niles & Daphne dynamic will soon be changing, as it inevitably must, but shows always lose something when that happens (again, as it must).
Since I won't be watching another seven seasons of the same, I certainly have no interest in a Martin-less Frasier: The Golden Years. And, let's be honest, it won't be the same. You can't go back again.
On the other hand, it's existence doesn't bother me. Why would that bother me? I always find it bizarre when people get up in arms about airing of something they don't want to watch. Just don't watch it! Problem solved.

I remember people said essentially the same thing post-CHEERS when FRASIER was first announced. Not only did FRASIER turn out to be as good as CHEERS, it was actually better.
If the new one does try to "go back" as you say, then yes, I think it will most likely fail.
But if they try to "go forward" and really do something new with at least some of the same characters, it all comes down to the writing. If the writers come through, it might be great again. Otherwise ... scrambled eggs all over his face.

I agree. The writing on Fraiser was very clever. Each episode was written as if it were a play in the theater with distinct acts. Of course, the acting was magnificent too, but the excellent quality of the writing is what made it a success.

You might be very wrong about that. I recommend you keep going. You haven't even seen "Roz and the Schnozz" yet. My favorite of them all.

I think the "Nanny G" episode was toward the end of the series. My son and I were laughing so hard that we were crying. You can't miss that one. Laurie Metcalf played Nanny G.

That episode had one of the show's best self referencing moments. Nanny G is complaining to Frasier about how long she has had to portray Nanny G. She asks Frasier "Do you have any idea what it's like to have to play the same character for twenty years?

That is a matter of opinion. But then I'm not a Kelsey Grammar fan.
