The doctor is in again: Kelsey Grammer returns as ‘Frasier’

By Jay Bobbin

There’s been room for “Frasier” ever since the original series ended, so there’s certainly space for a revival.

After winning four of his five Primetime Emmys for playing the title part, Kelsey Grammer returns as the high-minded psychiatrist in a new Paramount+ version of “Frasier” that starts streaming Thursday, Oct. 12 (CBS will give the revival’s first two episodes a broadcast run Oct. 17.). Originated by the actor as a supporting character on “Cheers,” Dr. Frasier Crane returns to that show’s Boston setting, with an outline of that city replacing that of his hometown of Seattle (where the first “Frasier” took place) in the opening credits. Also mostly new is the supporting cast, which was the case when Grammer initially transferred

“Frasier” into his own show. Such figures as Frasier’s brother Niles, played by David Hyde Pierce (“Julia”), who chose not to return, and his father Martin, played by John Mahoney, (“Moonstruck,” 1987) who died in 2018, are now absent, as are Martin’s caretaker and Niles’ eventual wife, Daphne (Jane Leeves, “The Resident”), and Martin’s frequent-Frasier-nemesis dog, Eddie. However, Peri Gilpin (“Scorpion”) and Bebe Neuwirth (“Julia”) — alias, respectively, Frasier’s radio show producer Roz and his ex-wife Lilith — will be back on a recurring basis.

Among actors joining “Frasier” for the first time are Jack Cutmore-Scott (“Oppenheimer,” 2023) as Frasier’s son, Freddy, and new actor Anders Keith as David, the son of Niles and Daphne (born in the finale

of the original “Frasier”). Nicholas Lyndhurst (“Only Fools and Horses”) is also a regular cast member as a college pal of Frasier’s who is a professor now. Among the aspects retaining familiarity, though, will be a new rendering of the theme song (“Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs”) recorded by Grammer, who also remains an executive producer. The first “Frasier” continues to be seen regularly in repeats, and having yielded more than 250 episodes over 11 seasons, its successor has a long and celebrated legacy to live up to – encompassing its Primetime Emmy wins for outstanding comedy series for five consecutive years (1994-98). Much as the first show was, the new one is an exploration of Dr. Crane starting over. When last seen, he was headed for Chicago,

presumably for him to be together with the girlfriend he had at the time (played by guest star Laura Linney, “Ozark”). That became his destination after he let go of a San Francisco television job he had gotten.

Putting Frasier back in Boston is bound to give interesting twists to the premise in which viewers first got to know him. At least on a steady basis, he’ll be without Sam Malone (Ted Danson, “The Good Place”), Diane Chambers (Shelley Long, “Modern Family”) and the others he commiserated with regularly at the bar “where everybody knows your name.” Much as he did upon his move to Seattle, he’ll be surrounded by a fresh group that the new “Frasier’s” makers clearly hope will

Creepy confections: ‘The Big Bake’ returns with a Halloween-themed season

Dig into some deadly delights as a new episode of “The Big Bake: Halloween” airs Monday, Oct. 9, on Food Network.

The series, hosted by Brad Smith (“Eddsworld”), welcomes returning “Big Bake” champions and veterans, each looking to redeem themselves in this larger-than-life, “Halloween”-themed event.

Food Network describes: “In each episode, three professional baking teams have five hours to design, bake and decorate a grand-scale cake creation based on a particular theme. These bakers need to think big and bold, blowing up their designs to gigantic proportions and thinking outside the (bakery) box.”

As “Big Bake” competitions take place throughout the year, this iteration celebrates the spookiest and scariest season of them all, tasking bakers with eye-popping and downright dreary challenges that feature spooky Halloween treats, creepy clown cakes, fa-boolous shrieks, scares and costumes galore.

So far this season, the teams have been asked to create cakes of the best “boo-ticians” in town, decorated with their creepy clientele, and then made their way to the carnival, where funhouse screams were on the menu as Smith asked the baking teams to create some spine-chilling desserts. But fear not. The scariest snacks are still to come.

During this upcoming episode, Food Network promises that witches will be the “talk of the town,” as a description for the challenge shares that “Brad Smith asks the baking teams to wave their magic whisks to create cakes featuring the queens of Halloween.”

Crouch, bind, set: Finn Russell and team Scotland take on the IRFU

The Rugby World Cup continues this week as Celtic rivals Ireland and Scotland get set to face off at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, just north of Paris, Saturday, Oct. 7, in what will be their final group stage match of the tournament. The match will be broadcast live on NBC.

Historically, Ireland and Scotland have played each other twice in previous Rugby World Cup tournaments, with Scotland coming out victorious 24-15 in Edinburgh, Scotland (1991), and Ireland walking away with a 27-3 win in Yokohama, Japan (2019).

Following a frustrating World Cup opening performance against South Africa in Marseille this year — South Africa posted a modest 18-3 victory over Scotland — Scotland’s superstar fly-half Finn Russell remains optimistic, telling reporters he believes his squad still has what it takes, despite not getting the start they’d hoped for.

“As frustrated as we are, there is a lot to work on and still everything to play for,” Russell said. There is no doubt that the loss to South Africa leaves Scotland and Russell with no room for error, specifically against a strong Irish squad — ranked first in the world at press time. Ireland has come out of the gates swinging in Pool B, first taking down Romania, 82-8, before beating Tonga, 59-16, in their first couple of matches of the tournament.

Now, Scotland and Russell will need to put up the fight of a lifetime against one of the topranked sides in rugby.

Don’t miss any of the Rugby World Cup action as Ireland takes on Scotland at the Stade de France Saint-Denis, Saturday, Oct. 7, airing live on NBC.
