I thought of that - the thing is, Frasier's award-winning writers were from Cheers.

That's the problem with this new Frasier reboot. It's an island. Nobody from Cheers/Frasier/Wings/Modern Family (same group of writers on all shows) are on this new reboot.

I'm not saying it's impossible for a surprise hit, but it's really unlikely given the TV track record of these reboots that have almost no attachment to the previous successful group. We will have to rely on a new set of writers and that could go any way.
