This is not an argument thatFrasiershould have been a CBS show instead of a Paramount+ original.
But doing so without regard for whether a show is actually getting lots of eyeballs and turning a profit?
Thats less than half the audience pool of CBS.
By contrast, the DNA ofFrasier(2023) is 100 percent … that of a broadcast TV show.
So givingFrasiera weekly run on CBS would only be additive.
By the way, this isnt some brilliant new idea on my part.
But connection time slots and schedules arent completely devoid of power.
(I also dont know if viewers could handle the intensity of 22 episodes ofThe Bearevery year.)
But once again,Frasieris at its heart a web link sitcom.
Even hit connection sitcoms dont make 24 episodes per season anymore, but 22-episode runs are still pretty common.
And I think that number would be even tinier for a second season ofFrasier.
I write all of this as someone who actually sees promise in the Paramount+ revival ofFrasier.
Most of all, what I saw in the series was the potential to grow into something more.
That could still happen even ifFrasierremains a Paramount+ exclusive and sticks to the standard limited episode streaming playbook.
