I think I will take this review episode by episode and comment as such. But first my character impressions. Frasier himself was enough of a welcome anchor to keep me glued to the show. Alan is obviously the stand-out of the new guard here (and also had 1 or 2 moments that really felt like Martin moments...but more of that in future episodes). I also liked Freddy for the most part. Olivia is just kind of there. I think I like Eve, but she has moments of being too much. Hopefully she can settle in. David is the one who worries me the most. I want to like him. I like the idea that he is supposed to be Daphne and Niles in one package, but so far he's not doing it for me. The first episode airport scene almost scared me as well, but it slipped into gear fairly quickly. The Martin stuff was obviously the highlight. The story was okay, if not all that ground-breaking. Unlike the transition from Cheers to Frasier, this transition keeps the same general mood/vibe while still adding enough change. A lot of that probably has to do with the intro and transition cards. Definitely enough to keep me hooked and optimistic for the future of the new show. Sorry that was so long. I think you may have just convinced me to do a video on this myself! haha
