‘Frasier’ Alums Dan Butler & Edward Hibbert To Reprise Roles In Season 2 Of Revival
Oh thank god! I really felt his character needed some closure.
He's still a pizza delivery guy.
Best response.
THIS IS GREAT, THIS IS GREAT!
BULLDOG'S COMING BACK! THIS RULES! THIS TOTALLY ISN'T BS!
Sentences you can read in the actor's voice.
would be nice if they both decided to retire in Frasiers massive building as residents.
Ha, I can just imagine it. Frasier goes down for his mail and sees someone facing away checking their mail, muttering away. Suddenly there's
"WHAT'S WITH THESE BILLS?!?!?!! THIS IS TOTAL BS!!!!!"
As bull dog fetches his mail slamming his letterbox shut, Gil marches in through the front door to cheers and roars from the audience, complaining about the lack of parking for residents. Frasier still in shock about Bull dog, jaw wide open, turns to gil and the audience errupts in applause as any teething problems with the show are now gone.. the inevitable guaranteed 24 episode, tv syndicated, 12 season sitcom is now in full swing.
I really hope the writers are reading this. I'd love to see that

I JUST PAID DIRECT TV!!! THIS THIS IS TOTAL BS!!!! Oh, there's the check
It's going to become the rest home for Frasier, isn't it... they're all old and with hip issues and bitching about the world.
I'm here for that!
They all have their original personalities but the sands of time play on their faculties and abilities in comedy fashion. Frasiers moments of genius mixed with forgetfullness or something. Gil would be more like Berverly in Will and Grace, Bulldog still bold but innocently gets confused or mixes words up that cause chaos in Frasiers building.
How funny if Bulldog and Gil ended up as a couple.
And they co-own Bad Billy's.
Maybe changing the name to Good Gilly's. Or a Bad Bulldog's sports bar
And bring back Leather Night
I was swiftly downvoted for suggesting that once. I still think it would be interesting.
But what about poor Deb??
The cat? She's fine....
Deb is not a cat!
She's still out on maneuvers
honestly, it'd be Hilarius if they did make a joke about that.
I’m sure she’s sold her successful auto body repair shop by now and moved on
Gil and Deb got a divorce?!
It wouldn’t make sense for Bulldog at all because he was notorious with hetero sexual escapades and they never dropped a hint of it in original series even though the actor is gay irl. It would only make sense if it was a meta-commentary on the real life actors which doesn’t work imo
https://youtu.be/ckLrIclJRMw?si=q67kalhb0e4_d_ql
Here is one time they did. I agree with you that it wouldn't make sense, but this is just me showing off that I watch way too much Frasier.
" It would only make sense if it was a meta-commentary on the real life actors which doesn’t work imo"
They did this on the new Night Court with Roz/Marsha Warfield.
Bulldog Chesterton or Gil Briscoe?
YES!!
Gil?? The lover of the ladies???
It would be funnier if they had bulldog out as gay/bi but Gill still insisting he's straight
Hopefully they will talk about Nightmare Inn.
Geez they’re brining so many guest stars I’m starting to wonder if this is more than a 10 episode season
Or it's just a reunion episode like they did in OG Frasier for Cheers.
This would be the worst result.
Maybe, maybe not. The Cheers episodes offered a bit of context for Frasier for folks who weren't Cheers viewers (like me) and a big of nostalgia for those who were. And if someone tests well, they might rock back up in S03.
An interview with Kelsey said he'd like to do closer to 14-15
At this point I'm wondering why they bothered moving the characters to Boston at all. It would have been less contrived to have Freddy wind up in Seattle than the whole staff of KACL wind up now in Boston.
I think it’s more likely Frasier is back in Seattle for a couple of episodes and that’s when he runs into these two
I don't think they could do a Seattle episode without Niles and Daphne though
Here's a fresh thought from someone who hasn't seen season 1 beyond episode 2. What if Frasier has something in the works and he's simply reaching out to colleagues he trusts or at least respects?
Maybe he will see his boyhood chums, laughing in the fens and spinneys once again. Or, it’s total bs. 😆
ROMPING
RRRRRRROMPING
I stand corrected. I doff my cap.
This stinks ! This is total BS !
is the only acceptable way to reintroduce Bulldog back to Frasier ! :D
Wasn’t his head blown clean off? Or was that Nigel?
🤭
Patience, daddy.

Will be interesting to see how they go about writing Bulldog's character, as a lot of his personality traits would not fly in this day, age.
Exactly. The new (and terrible) Night Court reboot had the same problem with Dan Fielding's character.
But, keep him in the same orbit as Roz, and you could get a stew going. They were both, for want of a better word, sluts, and they complimented each other very nicely whilst always balancing the differences between male/female perspectives.
They definitely understood each other. One of my favorite Bulldog lines was when Roz told him she hadn't had sex in a while, and he said "What, are you injured? You pull something?"
I always thought it would be interesting to see Bulldog in the aftermath of being cancelled for his past sexist comments. And of course, he would say, "these allegations are total BS!"
He’ll be on screen less than five minutes before they make a joke about him getting in trouble on social media.
"What do you mean you're out of work, what happened to your podcast?"
"Oh, well, you know, those whiners at Spotify yanked it after I did that commentary on the US Women's Soccer Team: Here's the Kind of Girl-on-Girl I'd Pay to See."
Maybe bulldog is one of those guys who has a daughter then realises what a sleaze he was and cleans up his act. I think we all know one guy who only started caring about treating women as humans once they have a daughter
Would Roz being as slutty fly today? Serious question. Yes we're more liberated but she was like a Mach 5 hoe on par with Blanche Devereaux lol
What random event will get all these characters in Boston? Does it say in the article?
I didn't read the article, but my predictions...
Bulldog will be in town for "the big game"
Gil will be there because his wife who we will not see has a conference there or something
Gil's wife is there to visit her cousin Vera at the Offscreenski family reunion.
Deb is Polish? I always assumed calico...
Vera
The one married to Norm?
Yes. Here's a picture of her as she appeared in Cheers.
Its his irl wife, who also appear in season 11 of frasier in the old neighbours house asking “who are you?”
And the date of cliff when they are dressed up, she plays the tinkerbell person with the mask in cheer
IF we don't meet Deb we riot!
She’s starting a new show “Almost Visible” with Maris and Vera.
Let Jane Lynch play Deb
Please God let Rosie O'Donnell play Deb lmao
They said Dan Butler would be appearing. THIS STINKS! THIS IS TOTAL BS.....Oh, there he is.
This is awesome!!! This is, in no way, total BS!!!
This is great, this is great!
Looks like ROMPING WITH MY SCHOOL CHUMS IN THE FENS AND SPINNEYS is back on the menu, boys!
Now THIS is what I wanted more of in Season 1. So glad the whole gang is getting back together - all that's missing now is Daphne and Niles!
Yay!! Great news!
Yay! KACL reunion!
That should literally be the plot, it's more believable than anything else.
YES!!!!
I hate how Bulldog just kinda disappeared from the show and was not even in the series finale.
I am one of the few that still hopes Bulldog and Roz get together. I am hoping they show he has grown up a lot.
Can we get spoiler tags and titles without spoilers? I was hoping to be surprised this season....
GET
NILES
TO
COME
BACK
HE
DOESNT
WANT
TO
It's weird, because if he keeps saying no, then that means Daphne doesn't come back either. Which... I mean, I don't know how Jane Leeves feels about that, but I'm willing to bet she'd love to reprise her role.
It is possible for Daphne to make one or two appearances, coming over to visit her son but Niles couldn't because he had some patient or was off in Switzerland giving a lecture at some conference.
I mean if they back up into his house with a dump truck of money and maybe a couple twinks he might say yes
BRIBE
HIM

LOTS
OF
PARAMOUNT
MONEY
HE
DOESNT
NEED
THE MONEY
…PROBABLY…?
Frasier: Star Trek Picard.
Please, please don’t let it be so.
They're going to kill off Gil and Bulldog at the end of their guest appearances?
Yes. BECAUSE they were fan favourites and fertile for further exploration.
Season 3 of Picard was total fan service, but at least it had nostalgia and fun. The first two seasons were complete garbage.
The first two seasons were complete garbage.
Which is why it had to do to total fan service
Holy shit. The Frasier Avengers are assembling! DINNER PARTY EPISODE!!!
Maybe we will meet Debbie the cat this time
turns out deb has passed away and gil filled the void by actually getting a cat and naming it deb.
This is great! This is great! 📸
The article mentions that Patricia Heaton's character is going to be a bartender -- I wonder what that means for the character of Eve (Freddy's roommate), who was also a bartender at Frasier's new hangout?
It seems that it is only a guest appearance, and since Frasier finds elements of her personality attractive I'm going to guess Eve is still in and Patricia is a one episode girlfriend.
Hopefully she's gone. What a horrible character/actress.
I don't know if I'd call her horrible, just kind of blah. The character itself seemed to only exist to cause Frasier to think he had an unknown grandson, and when that plot point was done (after all of five minutes), she didn't seem to serve any purpose.
Hell yeah! Bulldog and Gil are coming back! 🥰😂😁 loved them in the original series
Omg Amy Sedaris too!
It seems like there is going to be a KACL reunion
Just got back from this taping. What a special thing to see. You’re all going to love it. Laughed so hard my stomach hurt, tons of touching moments and things I never thought I’d see with my eyes. Lots of goosebumps!
Oh, I do hope Gil has been romping through the fens and spinneys.
Surprisingly, Gil doesn't look much different
i guess spending some time digging around in ruins has taught him how to preserve his appearance. /j
for anyone that doesn't get the joke i'm referencing that he voices talos drellik whose an archologist, in star wars the old republic.
Oh, is he an archeologist? I didn't know that. Pretty cool
yeah, the "Imperial Reclamation Service" is basically the sith empire's version of a historical society or the like.
Is that good or bad?
Maybe we will see Mrs Chesterton, I always liked to pretend she was real, and a really butch woman who, like when gil describes her, when she talks about him to her buddies at the auto shop they think she's talking about a woman like how Gil sounds like he's talking about a man
THIS STINKS!! THIS IS TOTAL BS!
Bulldog will reprise his Ava Maria
@mods for this subreddit can we ask for things like to be put under spoiler tags. I would love to have been surprised when this reunion happened on the show. I don’t want to know all the details before it happens.
I’ve been in absolute shambles all afternoon since I saw the news 😭😭😭😭😭
I’m just watching the new show for the first time now and this sounds is just what it needs 👏🏻
Yes!
Gil making a come back would be great news.
OOOO WE ARE BEING FED
This is actually kinda cool.
I just hope it isn’t forced… like what kind of reason they’d both possibly have to being in Boston. Both would be retired, presumably.
I suspect Frasier goes back to Seattle for a KACL reunion.
Please tell me we get to see Bulldog sing Ave Maria
Edward Hibbert helped cover for a guy ripping off writers at Donadio and Olsen. Scumsucker.
Season 2 of Fraiser will be more Fraiser than Season 1 of Fraiser Revival! I love it!

I remember having to explain a bunch of Cheers cameos to my partner in early Frasier 1.0.
Frasier was clearly flailing when Diane and Sam showed up in season 2.
That was after Lilith's first appearance? Which resulted in a strong ratings boost.
Lilith is honestly a recurring Frasier character as much as she is a Cheers expat.
If she'd ever actually recurred, I'd honestly say the same about Diane.
They realized they gotta get the gang back. Proved s1 the revival was a real thing. Now get everyone back
I’m happy to see them come back.
But it also screams to me that they’ve given up on this new series being its own thing.
Well yeah, season 1 was god awful.
Feel like I’m on an island with this one but I didn’t care for Bulldog at all…
Wasn’t a big fan of the Frasier episodes where the Cheers cast would show up. Expect to be even less of a fan of the Frasier cast showing up on Frasier. The best shows thrive in their own ecosystem.
Seems like they're trying hard to improve, but it's the writing they need to fix.
yes yes yes, hopefully this is not total BS!!, and he is bringing his childhood chum with him. Amazing news!! Cant wait!!
The grand dame of Seattle restaurants!
That is freaking wonderful! I already enjoy the new series; this is going to make it even better!
If Roz and Bulldog don't give me my long awaited resolution of their relationship, I will be violently ill.
This is so goth!
More nostalgia bait
I have bad news about reboots in general.
No doubt, doesn't mean we should be apologists for it
Who's apologising? I love a bit of nostalgia bait. Nostalgia is a nice emotion to experience, so why not?
I mean, you literally just went apologist there
I Googled the definition, and I suppose I am in the strictest sense, in that you consider nostalgia to be controversial. I'm looking forward to it, myself. My partner and I watched new Frasier (on my request), and then went back to do a full watch of Frasier (she'd never seen it). Next up is a toss-up between a new Frasier rewatch and trying to find Cheers and go right back to the start. We're having a lot of fun! I'm feeling the nostalgia, and she's enjoying a classic sitcom that I enjoy. There's no downside.
Then why did you feel the need to reply to me?
Because I disagreed with your gut reaction and thought I'd drop in my two penn'orth in the hopes of an interesting conversation. But don't feel any pressure.
It wasn't a gut reaction, I watched the reboot as it came out last year and saw it for the nostalgia cash grab it was. That they feel the need to bring back Roz, Bulldog and Gil just backs that up
Eh, the same kind of cash grab that OG Frasier was. The fact that you didn't like this spin-off of an award-winning, cancelled sitcom doesn't make it any more of a cash gab than the previous. These are for-profit studios after all. But I enjoyed Nuevo Frasier well enough to be looking forward to where it goes, and enough to remember how much I enjoyed watching reruns of the original (spin-off).
Lmao I feel like Bulldog would've gotten #metoo'd by now. Maybe him getting cancelled will be a plot point.
Enough with these two bit cameos. Get Niles and Daphne on here or hang it up!
Sadly they cancelled Julia, so at least DHP is free.
Is that true? That was a WONDERFUL show
Sadly yes. All we get is 2 seasons. But they are good !
Sarah Lancashire was also a delight. Be sure to check out Happy Valley.
This is the problem with the current state of TV. Networks and (especially) streaming services demand immediate ratings success, so as to get an instant return on investment, and if it doesn't happen by the second season at the very latest, they pull the plug. Great tv shows often need time to find their footing, establish characters, and build an audience, but those days are never going to come again. It's either instant smash hit, or immediate cancellation, with very little in between.
He’s pretty against the idea of it from reports, I think his health also hasn’t the best in recent years (if I’m remembering right).
Ahhh. Too bad. Him and Niles have always been a favourite of mine. He was great as Paul Child. That whole show was fantastic.
I imagine if the reviews were better he might get on board. But unless it turns into a hit this season i bet he sticks to his guns.
Didn't know about the health issues too, that's sad to hear.
They should just get rid of the whole new cast, apart from Lyndhurst, and get as many of the old cast back in their roles to close off Frasier's chapter on style. And bring back Trevor as Freddie!!!
