Scott D. Pierce: NBC launches one reboot of an ’80s show, and rescues another from cancellation.
Melissa Rauch as Abby Stone and John Larroquette as Dan Fielding in "Night Court."Hollywood hasn’t run out of new ideas, but, gee, it sort of looks that way sometimes when you glance through the TV schedule.
Melissa Rauch , the executive producer/star of the new “Night Court,” said she was convinced that the original sitcom had the makings of “a great revival.” That it could be “this wonderful workplace comedy” that gives viewers a “lot of comfort and the laughter that feels like we all really need right now.”
And the new sequel looks, sounds and feels like a 1980s sitcom, both in style and in substance. In the original “Night Court,” Judge Harry Stone presided over a crazy, after-hours New York City courtroom, with Dan as the prosecutor. It’s the same thing in the revival, with Rauch as Harry’s perky daughter, Judge Abby Stone, and Larroquette switching sides to be the public defender.
Like the original, the new “Night Court” is … well … OK. It has its moments, and Larroquette is always fun to watch, but it’s inconsistent and only occasionally funny. Which could account for the declining viewership. By the way, Warfield joined the cast in Season 4, after the death of Florence Hallop. Hallop had joined the cast in Season 3, after the death of Selma Diamond.‘Magnum, P.I.’ switches networks
