Kelsey Grammer credits Tim Allen and Roseanne Barr for inspiring 'Frasier' revival
Kelsey Grammer revealed that the successful returns of Tim Allen and Roseanne Barr to television inspired him to revive the sitcom "Frasier." Grammer wanted to prove that the character of Frasier Crane was still interesting and funny, and that there were more stories to tell. He admired Allen's ability to start a new show after "Home Improvement" and considered him one of the funniest people he's ever met. Grammer also praised Barr's comedic talent and the success of the "Roseanne" revival. He wanted to dispel the notion that "Frasier" was untouchable and believed that the character had evolved and would be interesting to catch up with. The "Frasier" reboot premiered on Paramount+ in October.
