Kelsey Grammer may be rebooting Frasier
Oh baby we hear those blues callin' again… because Dr Frasier Crane may be headed back to TV.
Everyone's favourite TV psychiatrist is the latest to ride the wave of reboots and revivals, although the resurrection of Frasier apparently isn't a straight-ahead comeback like Will & Grace or Murphy Brown.
Deadline reports that Kelsey Grammer and production company CBS TV Studios are mulling a soft reboot that would move Dr Frasier Crane away from Seattle for a fresh start in a new city.
All we can say is that this creative choice had better not rule out cameos from Niles, Daphne or Roz, or we'll be pelting our tellies with tossed salads and scrambled eggs.
Nothing's set in stone just yet though, as neither Grammer nor CBS TV Studios are commenting on the Frasier revival project at this stage.
The original series aired on NBC for 11 seasons from 1993 to 2004, as a spin-off of Cheers.
Last year, NBC boss Robert Greenblatt confirmed that he'd had "conversations" with series co-creator David Lee about a revival, but nothing ever came of it at the time.
Sadly, any new version of the sitcom won't feature Frasier and Niles's cantankerous father Martin, as actor John Mahoney sadly passed away at the age of 77 earlier this year.
Upon news of Mahoney's death being announced, Grammer paid tribute to his TV dad by saying: "He was my father. I loved him."
Frasier remains one of the most acclaimed US comedies in history, winning an incredible 37 Primetime Emmy Awards in its 11 years on the air.
