Another series for Dr. Crane? Maybe

NEW YORK (AP) -- Kelsey Grammer isn't shutting the door on the idea of bringing back his long-running character, Frasier Crane, on another television series.
Grammer said he had discussed the idea with Paramount, the company that produces "Frasier," but there have been no definite plans.
"It may be a possibility at some point," Grammer told The Associated Press this week. "I'm not closed to the possibility. It would have to be really good."
Grammer said he'd like some time off from the character, holding off any possible return until "when the television landscape is appropriately bleak."
More to character
The 11-year run of the NBC comedy ends with tonight's finale.
Including his stint on "Cheers," Grammer has portrayed the pompous psychiatrist for a full 20 years on network television.
A Paramount executive declined to comment on the possibility of the character's returning in some fashion.
"The idea of him going on with the character is totally plausible," said actor David Hyde Pierce, who has played Frasier's brother, Niles. "I don't feel at the end of the series that he'd exhausted all he could do with the character. I think it's a great idea."
Pierce said no one has asked him about continuing and -- given the way the series ends -- he's not sure whether another series would have room for him.
