Kelsey Grammer’s idea for another “Frasier” Christmas episode is an intriguing one. Sadly, many “Cheers” actors have passed away, but with his idea, Frasier Crane could return to the bar where everybody knows your name through archival footage. He could comment on noteworthy “Cheers” moments, offering inside jokes that would be appreciated by anyone who’s followed Frasier’s sitcom journey for all these years.
Of course, there’s one original “Cheers” actor Grammer would love to see come back, as he told Deadline, “I love Ted [Danson] and working with him, so I’d love to do something with him. We just haven’t broken that idea yet.” The idea likely hasn’t been brought up because the “Frasier” revival has yet to be renewed for Season 2. Ideally, if it’s done well, Paramount+ would want more adventures with the psychiatrist-turned-Harvard-professor.
Then again, the “Frasier” reboot has largely been about growing the character. He moves to Boston to get closer to his son after their relationship became strained due to Freddy dropping out of Harvard. It’s hard to grow a character if he’s constantly looking toward the past, but dedicating just one episode to Frasier’s time on “Cheers” likely wouldn’t take too much time away from his development.
Besides, there have been “Cheers” reunions before. Ted Danson reprised his character of Sam Malone for a “Frasier” Season 2 episode where he seeks his friend’s advice regarding his new fiancée. Plus, a good deal of the “Cheers” cast came back for “Frasier” Season 9, Episode 21 — “Cheerful Goodbyes” — when the titular character goes back to Boston for a bit. Anything could happen, and people could be shouting “Norm!” in no time.
