I'm planning on doing a "Frasier" spinoff with Frasier in Chicago and I have some ideas but I want your help. For starters, Do you guys have any ideas I might be able to use? What would you guys like to see? Also, the name. I thinking either "Frasier takes Chicago", "Crane" or "Dr. Chicago". Also, the cast. Kelsey and Laura Linney will be back, obviously but what about the supporting cast? I was thinking of maybe having Jennifer Beals back as the character she played in the finale and Frasier will have some sort of ethnic boss at his new job, which will be TV-related in some way. Anyway, any ideas?

Is Frasier in private practice or is he hosting a radio show like in Seattle?

Why not have Frasier and Charlotte move to San Francisco, so Frasier could take that great job offer?

Having Frasier doing his weekly TV spot provides many comic possibilities.

Frasier became a free agent (decided to act as his own agent) and got himself a TV job in Chicago. However, he forgot to read what the job was as he was so desperate to move there and be with Charlotte. Dr. Ranberg (who we met in the final episode of "Frasier") will also be his equally unsuspecting co-host on the show. Monica Lewinsky will play his new producer and director, David Alan Grier will be the owner of the network, the small and new UAN. Amanda Bynes will be an intern on the show, and Dave Chapelle will be the cameraman. There's also another co-worker who I might just make a recurring character. The 1st episode will be titled "The Good Doctor".

As for titles, what will the TV show (that Frasier's on) be called?

Let's try and make some sense out of this spinoff. From giving advice at a bar...to giving advice on the radio...and now tv. The progression seems logical. Now Frasier has a new direction in life, he's surrounded by different people...he has a steady love interest...he's in a new city...is this all you are counting on to make the spinoff different from "Frasier"? Is this going to be about Frasier or Frasier AND Charlotte? "Frasier" was about a single man...so this should be about a couple - otherwise it'll be the same old thing over again. In fact, I'm not even sure if the couple thing will enable this spinoff to stand on its own. But let's see what happens.

Oh, one more thing....Why Monica Lewinsky and Amanda Bynes??
