As long as you're on a Frasier kick, how about the top 10 celebrity callers for Frasier? The ones that you can only tell by voice? I know there were quite a few, but offhand I can only remember Jay Leno.
I can't believe that it's been 30 years since Frasier initially debuted. I'm looking forward to seeing the reboot, and having Kesley Grammar return to his iconic role.
I don't think it's needed, and I'm concerned honestly. I hope this isn't just a fad where when the novelty wears off, regret will be all that's left. Conversely though, if well done, it will certainly be a fun, exciting addition, which definitely feels possible. ... Huh, I've actually excited myself a bit with my own statement. Damn, I'm good!
Great idea for a list! I also enjoyed Jean Smart, Elvis Costello, Kim Coles, Marsha Mason, Alan Cumming, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Aaron Eckhart, Luis Guzman, Kristen Chenoweth, James Earl Jones, Felicity Huffman, Gary Cole, Julia Sweeney, Tony Shalhoub & Anthony LaPaglia, among others.
'Cheers' was filmed on the same lot as 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' (where Patrick Stewart played 'Capt. Jean-Luc Picard'), and Kelsey Grammar being a big ST fan, got to be on TNG in the episode called 'Cause and Effect' as 'Capt. Morgan Bateson'. I guess Grammar later repaid Stewart by having hin on 'Frasier'. And then later starred in the 'X-Men' movies together.
Even though Laura Linney was only in five episodes, she was still iconic as Frasier's final love interest on the show. I wonder if she will appear in the reboot?
david ogden stiers (mash) guest starred one episode as a friend of martin's late wife who martin suspects that he may be a biological father to his sons.
They bring his son back, played by a different actor...and totally.not the same character at all. That's where the reboot fails for me. Lilith would never have stood for her son dropping out of Harvard to become a fireman🎉
I wouldn't say Laura Linney's appearance was 'forgotten', since her character was substantially responsible for how the show ended. I think Patrick Stewart would hardly have been 'forgotten', either in the context of the show or by those who knew him for his other work? A on-performer playing themselves doesn't really count as a 'star' in this context: You might have mentioned John Glenn. Tea Leoni? Jennifer Beals? Sara Silvermann? Piper Laurie? Patrick MacNee? Brent Spiner?
Wild Kelsey was on an episode of Star Trek TNG. Just so happens; Bebe Neuwirth, Brent Spiner, René Auberjonois, Nana Visitor, Robert Picardo, and Patrick Stewart crossed over. I could list more, it would include Cheers.
Not sure who my favorite guest star{s} on Frasier is/are, but I feel they left two good ones out, Sir Derek Jacobi, and Brian Bedford { RIP the greatest Robin Hood there ever was or will be } .
From what I read of the reboot it takes place in Boston and Frasier is still single So it is assumed that things didn't work out Either she rejected him when he gets to Chicago or there relationship just doesn't work out Either way Laura Linney doesn't appear in the reboot 🤨
They explain in one throw away line in the first episode what happened...a long relationship just ended and he fled back to Boston (some crap wiring on the new show)
