“It’s not going to be Seattle. It won’t be the same Frasier, it will be the man in its next iteration. Hopefully that is something that people like to watch. But I think it will be funny. ‘
Grammer made the character famous as a married psychiatrist who lived in Boston for nine seasons of the classic NBC sitcom Cheers.
Ideas probably took off even more after Kelsey reunited with his talented ensemble last year for two Stars in the House streaming events in support of The Actors Fund.
