Well done on tarnishing a classic series.
The success of the original series was down to the cast and the writing. It was a perfect balance of wit, comedy, subtle drama with excellent characters portrayed by great actors.
I'm afraid this new venture barely holds a candle to the original.
It's just a goofy comedy full of cheap laughs and deadpan one liners.
And oh dear the cast, whoof, what a disappointment. Other than Kelsey Grammer and Nicholas Lyndhurst, it's complete amateur hour.
Some of the characters are just over the top and annoying as hell, especially the nephew and son.
I swear I cringe every time the nephew is in a scene.
Dear god the audience laughter. It's not genuine at all and is clearly prompted and so exaggerated.
It's generally ok as a mediocre comedy if you've got nothing else to watch, but if you're a serious fan of the original, prepare to be disappointed.
