  News was circulating a few years ago about a Fraiser reboot.  The infamous spin-off from Cheers starred Kelsey Grammar as Dr. Fraiser Crane, the psychologist who has his radio talk show host in Seattle.  Fraiser humored many audiences when it ran for 11 seasons.  The reboot was supposed to start last year, but that obviously changed once the pandemic started.

            In the meantime, Paramount+ has been making plans for rebooting shows for the streaming service.  One of those TV series that is in the works just so happens to be… Fraiser.
