Frasier Reboot's Sensational Rotten Tomatoes Score: Unveiling a Remarkable Comparison to the Original!

Summary

The Frasier reboot has received an official Rotten Tomatoes score of 64%, earning a Fresh rating.

The original Frasier series has a higher average rating of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Despite not every season receiving an official score, the lowest-rated season of the original still scored 83%.

The official Rotten Tomatoes score for the Frasier reboot has been announced. The highly anticipated sitcom, set to premiere on October 12 on Paramount+, brings back the beloved character of Frasier Crane, originally introduced in season 3 of the popular comedy Cheers. Frasier, which aired from 1993 to 2004, had a successful 11-season run and is remembered as a classic spinoff.

The new show features an impressive cast including Nicholas Lyndhurst, Jack Cutmore-Scott, Anders Keith, Jess Salgueiro, and Toks Olagundoye. It also includes the returning performances of Bebe Neuwirth as Lilith and Peri Gilpin as Roz, adding to the excitement for fans.

Before its premiere, Rotten Tomatoes has already calculated an official score for the Frasier reboot based on 33 reviews. The show currently holds a rating of 64%, which is considered "Fresh." As more reviews are expected to be added after the premiere, the score may change. However, it falls short of the original Frasier's overall rating of 95%. Although not every season of the series has received an official Rotten Tomatoes score, the lowest-rated season, season 6, still scored 83%, significantly higher than the reboot's current rating.

Could the Frasier Reboot Be as Popular as the Original?

The popularity of the original Frasier, which ran for the same duration as the original Cheers, demonstrates the enduring appeal of the character in comedy television. Yet, it is uncertain how long the new show will continue. Frasier's dominance in the airwaves lasted for two decades but it is uncertain whether the modern sitcom audience will warmly receive the new show.

Given the differences between streaming and network television, it is doubtful that the new show will be able to last for 11 seasons. This is evident in the upcoming eighth season of Netflix's Big Mouth, which will make it the longest-running show on the platform. Although Paramount+ has had success with longevity, with six seasons of The Good Fight, the first season of the revived Frasier still needs to prove itself.

Paramount+ has had less success with comedy shows, as evidenced by the cancellation of the sitcom reboot iCarly after its third season. Ultimately, the longevity of Frasier will depend on the audience's response. If viewers have a stronger reaction to the beloved characters and Frasier's iconic comedic style than the critics, the show may have a chance to earn a second season relatively soon, paving the way for a potential extended run.
