However, to reboot the character completely would be a slap in the face to those who love and honor the entire cast’s contributions, especially in light of former cast member John Mahoney’s passingthis past February.
To reboot the character partially might still seem like a step back for Dr. Frasier Crane, who finally seemed to have things together, and was able to move on with his life.
However, there’s also a definite downside when it comes to rebooting Frasier’s history, as those characters and their 11 seasons of antics together are beloved by sitcom fans who witnessed the creation and development of just what made Frasier the success that it was.
