“Night Court” was a “tweener” television series. It was usually between other comedies and you didn’t mind its presence.
Now, it’s back – with Melissa Rauch as the judge – and it has that same comfortable feel, largely because John Larroquette has returned as Dan Fielding. He still has acerbic wit and an offbeat presence, but he also comes with a legacy that forces the others to step up.
Interestingly, the best lines are given to the “non-stop freak show” called into court. Those misfits afford the comedy’s producers an opportunity to pack the house with recognizable faces. Larroquette, however, isn’t just stunt casting. He delivers – just as he did years ago – and makes the most of what might seem a “Groundhog Day” situation. There’s a metal detector in the lobby but the tacky courtroom is still just as tacky.
