Kelsey Grammer Reveals Dark Secrets about "Frasier's" Eddie the Dog

In a time when almost everything is up for a reboot - Kelsey Grammer, who won four Emmys for his performance as Dr. Frasier Crane, says a revival of "Frasier" is highly unlikely.
"There has been some talk, but it's nothing but talk," he tells TV Guide. "There are so many people that would be lined up to get their cut that even trying to finance a reboot of Frasier would be nightmarish."
That being said, Grammer likes the idea and has thought about what Frasier's life would look like 15 or so years after we last saw him.
"It would be neat to see what happened to him, because clearly he never had any luck in love," says Grammer. He thinks that it wouldn't have worked out with Laura Linney's character Charlotte, who Frasier moved to Chicago to be with, and so he'd be in a new place with new versions of his old problems.
Grammer then revealed some behind-the-scenes gossip from "Frasier" about how towards the end of his stint Moose had gotten so old and gray that in his last appearance on the show the make-up department painted his faded markings back on, and he just got to sit on the couch and take it easy, since he couldn't really perform anymore.
And then Grammer dropped a real bombshell: Moose used to bite John Mahoney, who played Martin, Frasier's father and Eddie's owner, whenever he'd sit on his lap. "Mahoney hated him," Grammer says.
