I've been pining for the return of John Laroquette. This will be a smash!

I think this looks sorta promising. It will really depend on whether they are able to capture some of the vibe of the original.

A lot of other "reboots" got stuck between try to deliver fan service to the original and trying something new, and failed. But I'll give this a watch, for sure.

Everyone towers over Melissa Rauch. She’s tiny.

Cancel it. Without Harry, Markie or Charles, what is the point of this?

Larroquette did a show that I thought had a great premise, showing him at three different ages in life with him playing the oldest - Me, Myself and I.

I liked it, but it got cancelled pretty quickly.

Laroquette has always been entertaining as hell.

r10 But not in the show.

Today I learned that John Laroquette is still alive

On one hand I would love to see this show come back, but on that same note, it just wouldn't be the same without the departed cast.

They developed this show a couple years ago and it was supposed to premiere last fall. NBC said they wanted to hold it to this year.

Networks never hold shows they are confident in.

But maybe the time has allowed them to fine tune.

Never saw the original so I can watch this with an open mind.

You should look up the originals, r15. I think you’ll enjoy it.

by Anonymousreply 16December 13, 2022 10:37 PM

The original show is underrated imo.

I would’ve climbed young John Larroquette like a cat in heat.

No Richard Moll?!?!?!

I really liked the first season of The John Laroquette Show. The retooling killed it in season.

Larroquette

Both Laroquette and Moll looked like they had serious sizemeats back in the day.

I love Melissa Rauch. I couldn't watch BBT, but she was great in the US Kath & Kim, and THE BRONZE is hilarious and dark.

Laroquette is a fine wine, I've wanted a sip since I was a boy, and has an elegance in his acting. It will be fascinating to see how the Dan Fielding character updates, he was such a pig.

I will be disappointed if Moll and Marsha Warfield aren't in an episode, at least.

I just realized I must have just loved this show as a gayling, Judge Stone's personal style, Richard Moll's BDE, and Laroquette- the 80s at its best for me.

Is anyone watching?

It's buried on Saturday night which doesn't bode well.

‘Night Court’ Reboot Scores Best Comedy Debut Ratings In More Than 5 Years On NBC.............very surprising.

R25 = Wrong..Saturday was the "encore". Night Court airs on Tuesdays.

by Anonymousreply 27January 23, 2023 2:16 AM

Did I dream this or Bonnie Hunt was originally supposed to be in this reboot?

by Anonymousreply 28January 23, 2023 2:26 AM

No one was asking for a Night Court reboot, just like they weren’t asking for a Murphy Brown one.

Certain shows are fine for rebooting, but stop rebooting ones that aren’t even big in syndication.

by Anonymousreply 29January 23, 2023 2:27 AM

R29 = Over 7 million viewers. Sadly this is what passes as a "hit" now. If they hold these ratings it should be renewed within weeks. NBC has so few comedies they had to double up the episodes of Night Court.

The original was hilarious and I don't think this version will come close.

by Anonymousreply 31January 23, 2023 3:05 AM

Mellisa Rauch is so earnest, and she’s on the screen too much. I read somewhere that she’s a producer of the show, and she needs to step back a bit and let the other actors have more screen time.

by Anonymousreply 32January 23, 2023 3:36 AM

NBC has a shit track record for sitcoms.

by Anonymousreply 33January 23, 2023 3:57 AM

I haven't seen the original series since the 80s and the reboot reminded me why I don't feel any nostalgia for it. It was corny and hackneyed then and the reboot doesn't appear to be veering way from that. John Larroquette is on another level compared to the rest of the cast. I'd have been more interested seeing his character in a different court setting or even as the judge.

Got renewed for a second season.
