Executive producer Joe Cristalli explains why Frasier Crane doesn't revisit Cheers despite returning to Boston in Paramount+'s Frasier reboot.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Frasier Crane doesn't revisit the Cheers bar in the Frasier reboot and there's an acceptable reason why. After 19 years, Kelsey Grammer has slipped back into the world of the beloved snooty therapist. However, he finds himself not in Seattle or Chicago, but back in Boston — his old stomping grounds during his days in Cheers.
Speaking with TV Line, executive producer Joe Cristalli explains why Frasier doesn't return to Cheers — at least in the first season of the new show. Instead, the Frasier reboot on Paramount+ introduces a brand new hang-out place — Mahoney's, which is a tribute to Martin Crane actor, John Mahoney. Read his full quote below:
“There might be a reason why Frasier the character is holding back a little bit from going back there… does not necessarily see it as the best time of his life. He had a lot of failures in romance, he had a lot of professional setbacks, he spent a lot of time at a bar. So he might have some hesitation at revisiting.”
Why Frasier Never Really Fit In At Cheers A belated addition to NBC's Cheers, Frasier's introduction was tied to his relationship with Diane Chambers. After Shelley Long departed the show, Grammer stayed behind and became a series regular until the series ended in 1993. He then went on to spearhead his own spin-off. Being in Cheers for eight seasons allowed Frasier to mingle with people different from himself and Diane.
Frasier remained out of place until the very end — something that Cheers alluded to several times by making him the butt of their jokes. The bar was laughing at him, not with him. This was mostly the case with Diane, and when she left, Frasier functioned as her replacement as the fish out of water element of the series.
