    Because he’s too nice to say:

    1. Grammers alcohol, cocaine, and other addictions made production difficult on the first show.

    2. Grammer is pro-trump and anti-lgbtq among lots of other things while Hyde actually has a heart

      If he had said “I wanted to do other things” but then had a totally open calendar, that would have been telling.

      In this case, it seems like he was legit doing other things.

    Here’s the full quote:

    “I never really wanted to go back,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “It’s not like I said, ‘Oh, I don’t ever want to do that again.’ I loved every moment. It was that I wanted to do other things. And when we got into real talks about the reboot, I had just started on the ‘Julia’ TV show and was working on a musical and going to do another musical, not this one. And I just thought, ‘I don’t want to be committed to a show and not be able to do stuff like this.’ And I also thought, ‘They don’t actually need me.’ Frasier has moved on to a new world. They have new characters. And I think I’m right. It’s doing great. And the new people they have are great.”

    Just for anyone looking to jump to conclusions.
