Kelsey Grammer's Latest Sitcom 'Hank' Just Might Be His Last - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

PASADENA, Calif. — Kelsey Grammer had better hope that his new ABC sitcom, "Hank," is a success, because he pretty much eliminated the possibility of returning to Fox or going to CBS.

And, of course, no one in their right mind wants to be on NBC these days.

Kelsey essentially blamed the president of Fox Entertainment for the failure of his most recent sitcom. And he made some rather impolitic comments about the chairman of CBS.

It may not have been smart, but it sure was fun to listen to.

The one-time "Frasier" star told TV critics that he thought his 2007-08 sitcom "Back to You" was a "good show." And that he "enjoyed" working with Patricia Heaton "enormously."

"I thought we had a really great chemistry, and I thought we actually were onto something pretty good," Grammer said. "Then Fox hired, what's his name? Reilly?"

Well, yes, that would be Fox Entertainment president Kevin Reilly. Who came aboard after a stint as NBC Entertainment president.

Reilly "actually hadn't bought the show. We had pitched it to him at NBC," Grammer said. "So I had bad feelings about that.

Kelsey is a talented actor. He deserves another hit sitcom. I don't know why they cancelled Back to You, but they kept that awful Till Death.

That's too bad. I watched "Back to You" once or twice and it was pretty good. I hope this new one is successful!

I have this weird feeling that 'Hank' and 'Fame' may be his last projects, but I think it has to do with all the celeb deaths lately. I don't want to lose Kelsey because I know I'll cry like a b*tch.
