It's been nearly 20 years since Frasier went off the air, but the sitcom's new Paramount+ revival picks up as if no time has passed. That's not to say that things haven't progressed for the characters, but the new Frasier feels exactly like a sitcom from 2004, aside from the slightly longer episode running times for a streaming service. In an era of more artistically ambitious, less joke-oriented TV comedies, Frasier feels decidedly out of place. The dedication to an old-school format also gives it a certain retro charm, though, and anyone who misses the days of multi-camera sitcoms taped in front of a live studio audience should find Frasier refreshing.
