Frasier: Season 2 (Paramount+) – Thursday, September 19
Paramount+’s reboot of “Frasier” last year was better than anything I expected. It wasn’t quite the same award-winning series we remembered from the ‘90s and early ‘00s, of course, without the supporting cast of David Hyde Pierce, Jane Leeves and the late John Mahoney, but still full of laughs at the expense of the hoity-toity titular character, still played with ease by Kelsey Grammer. The second season premieres on Thursday, September 19.

Colin From Accounts (Paramount+) – Thursday, September 26
The Australian import “Colin From Accounts,” which streams in the U.S. on Paramount+, was one of the pleasant surprises of 2023. The series features real-life couple Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer as a couple of down-on-their-luck people who have a meet-cute that turns complicated when a stray dog is struck by a car, and they decide to take care of it. The sitcom, which initially airs on the Australian streamer Binge, is occasionally more broad than American sitcoms, but the chemistry between Brammall and Dyer makes the show worthwhile. The second season drops on Paramount+ on Thursday, September 26.
