They better not change the theme.

Leave the memories alone.

I suggested to my co-workers Ty Burrell as Harry just because he practiced magic on Modern Family.

Big Show as Bull, obviously...

 

[King Kamala]

It's a sequel series not a remake, @BruiserBrody ! Stop trying to take work away from Richard Moll!

And he needs it apparently since I had to Google whether or not he was still alive. *headslap*

 

[Valeyard]

Bull was taken back to his home planet in the last episode, so I expect continuity.

i love john larequtte and night court but this is a bad idea. Only way Dan works in a modern context is if he's done a total 180 and is now a social justice warrior who would never dream of hitting on a woman, just take it to the other extreme. Rewatched NC like 10=15 years ago and even then some of Dan's stuff was really wwkward. Can only imagine now.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I mean, John Larroquette is, like, seventy-three, or somewhere in that neighborhood. Dan Fielding could work in a modern context, in an "Archie Bunker" type way: as in, "Hey, everybody, come and laugh at us dunking on this old sexist fossil!", where he doesn't realize that he's the butt of the joke.

 

[Valeyard]

Get Larroquette, Shatner, Spader, etc. to do a Boston Legal reboot instead.

It worked for Tim Allen. Got a nice eight season run on this concept.

It probably was a decade ago by now, but John Larroquette still had fantastic timing and delivery when he was on an episode of Parks and Rec. They should've done this 5-10 years ago when Harry Anderson was still alive. The whole cast was surprisingly still alive and fairly active before Harry's passing a few years ago. I saw my guy Sir Richard Moll in a few SyFy shark movies a couple years ago.

Is Melissa Rauch any good? She was annoying like everyone else whenever I came across any Big Bang Theory. This show will probably be trash either way, but if Rauch is bad it will especially be terrible since Harry was so wacky and goofy that a similar character could be obnoxious in the hands of someone else. Harry Anderson on Night Court had that ability to play a wacky jokester character and it not be obnoxious.

 

[Valeyard]

Harry Anderson was so good. He was a genuinely likeable guy in a way I don't think a lot of people now are.

If she's involved, Markie Post will be Rauch's mom.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I admit to being skeptical, myself. I happen to think that Melissa Rauch is funny, but she's funny in a completely different way than Harry Anderson was; as in, not "wacky" funny, at all. More sarcastically funny, which suits my tastes down to the ground, but may not work as the lead on a show like Night Court.

 

[Brocklock]

Harry Anderson was so good. He was a genuinely likeable guy in a way I don't think a lot of people now are.

If she's involved, Markie Post will be Rauch's mom.

Please have Keith David as Markie's love interest.

 

[Valeyard]

Christine went on to be a congresswoman at the end of the show, and in canon she had a kid that kind of never got brought up again. It wasn't until Christine fell in love with forensic technician Keith David that that child had a family and aspirations. Love conquers all.

Isn't the wholesome Dan pushing the Phil foundation some of the worst stuff? Dan being a sleaze is really one of the only highlights of the show, which is a little painful to watch nowadays when I catch some randomly on Laff TV.

I know...I know.... "We should keep bad things because there has always been bad things, damn your slightly less progressive viewpoints, Brody!"

I'll go back to my Don Rickles Roast videos now. He said somethings about Bubba Smith that I am a little surprised were acceptable even by 1978 standards!

RIP to the best clerk in the history of the court system:

[cobainwasmurdered]

oh wow that's awful. someone put a guard on john laraquette.

 

[strummer]

Terrible. I had a big crush on her as a kid going back to the Fall Guy. She was great on NC and fit right in

RIP

 

[Brocklock]

Yeah I had a crush on her too mostly from watching NC reruns on A&E. She was great on the show too and had great chemistry with Larroquette. I also really liked her in her small role in There's Something About Mary.

RIP

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Damn.

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

It's kind of a mindfuck how Ed Asner, who was old as fuck thirty years ago, did a TV show with John Ritter and Markie Post, back in the nineties, and he's outlived both of them.

show has been picked up by NBC:

‘Night Court’ Sequel Starring Melissa Rauch & John Larroquette Lands Series Order At NBC

Night Court is officially in session. NBC has handed the follow-up to the classic legal sitcom a series order. Deadline revealed that the multi-camera comedy, which comes from Outmatched and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt co-EP Dan Rubin and The Big Bang Theory’s Melissa Rauch, was in the works in...

First episode is this Tuesday.

 

[alkeiper]

I've been doing a re-watch of the original show. If nothing else it's worth it for the sheer number of character actors who did guest spots. Future stars like Michael J. Fox and Michael Richards, John Astin, Kevin Peter Hall, James Cromwell, Lou Ferrigno, even got an uncredited appearance by Professor Toru Tanaka!

 

[Valeyard]

Brent Spiner was awesome

 

[Valeyard]

I like this Big Bang chick. Just as bangable as Harry Anderson but without the masculinity of Markie Post.
