The Frasier revival failed precisely because it was called that. Imagine hearing that How I Met Your Mother is coming back, those who are fans of the show getting excited, and then finding out that only one of the 5 main characters is returning to the role.

You'll be put off and see it with negativity and suspicion from the start, and there's nothing worse than someone starting to watch a show like that.

This is exactly what happened with Frasier, when we heard that Frasier was coming back we all felt excitement for the returning or suspicion from the beginning because we knew that Mahoney would be missing.

Then learning that neither Niles, nor Daphne, nor Roz (initially) would be returning we all felt sobered and sad.

The series for me was good and nice,even from the first season, but even more so in the second season, which is improving. But infinite were those who were suspicious of her and had good reasons.

If instead,we had heard that Kelsey Grammer would reprise the role of Frasier,in a new series,with a new title,new logo and theme,I think that by now the show would have more fans and wouldn't have been cancelled to look for a new platform,because it's a really decent show,just because it's called Frasier will always be compared to the original and everyone will miss Niles the Martin etc.

We saw Frasier for first time in Cheers with a different cast, it wasn't hard to see him in frasier with his family.Imagine if Frasier was called Cheers where you would only see one main character from cheers playing,the original Frasier would have failed as well
