"Night Court" is coming back!

[usmc0331horn 955]

Why?

[UTGrad98 2280]

Court at night?

[Radical Larry 28656]

[Surly Bevo 25089]

This will probably suck but Melissa Rauch is a worthy successor to Markie Post, at least when it comes to rudeness.

[WBT 20642]

Judge Harry is rolling over in his grave

[Zepol87 9188]

Man I loved night court when I was young. Only channel that came in clear on the rabbit ears.

Because they’re out of ideas. Reboots and retreads are all they have.

They have reruns of Night Court on Laff. It doesn’t hold up. I liked it when it originally aired but I can’t watch it now. Harry Anderson was better on Cheers. 

[Herpa Derpa 6126]

So Judge Dan Fielding?

[Apep 645]

I’d imagine it starts with him being busted down to night court DA after a sex scandal. Harry’s “daughter”, (Rauch), takes on his role as the night court judge. Would love to see Brent Spiner as a regular.

Markie Post, should probably mention her in the old school fap thread.

My memories suck, I always thought Markie was in it from the beginning, but Markie wasn't even a regular until the 3rd season.

Here's the intro from the first season.

 

[CooterBrown 18015]

Why?

All the half decent original shows sell to the streaming services first. Networks are just getting the unsold dregs nowadays. I think it was actually the president of NBC said this in an interview. So, it’s not surprising that they’re resurrecting their existing IP.

While I agree with you, watch your mouth or they'll be rebooting Cheers next.

This is my first real Mandela Effect moment. I was 100% sure John Larroquette was dead. I swear I have a memory of him dying a few years ago.

They’re already rebooting Frasier.

Any geriatric actresses would be wise to stay away from any bailiff role in this.

Per @Bateshorn over in the Music forum on the Chili Peppers selling their catalog thread; it may have to do with the cost of naming/licensing.... It appears the old rights have expired (unsurprisingly). I’m guessing the network would need a steady reassurance of viewership to reel in ratings, and consequently, Marketing revenue, in order to justify the spend on naming/licensing fees.

I think they may have finally worked it out, but it was replaced by generic music for years in syndication.  I think the Turkey Drop episode had songs from Pink Floyd and CCR playing in the backgrounds as Johnny Fever came back to the mic in at least a couple of scenes.  it’s one of the forgotten things about WKRP: it had really great music in snippets.

Night Court was made by the cast. Rebooting it will be like trying to reboot other cast driven shows. 

Harry Anderson, Richard Moll, John Larroquette, Markie Post, and Warfield/Diamond had a great cast chemistry, and the writing played to their strengths. IMHO, the show took off after the writing solidified in the second season and Markie Post took over from the first public defender, who was just annoying. 

The new one will likely bomb, because cast chemistry is not an easy formula. Getting two characters who have good chemistry when interacting is tough enough. Getting five or six cast members that can all interact with each other with good chemistry requires not only great casting, but a certain amount of luck.

Yeah I get all that. But 

This is going to be the best show on television.

Knitting for her grandkids?

[MissingInAction 25130]

Dinosaurs is due.

[Lhorn 4928]

“Knitting for her grandkids“

Without even looking up a recent picture, if I HAD to make a decision right now, I’d say WOULD.  Ditto Markie Post.

Speaking of reboots, I always thought Columbo would make a great reboot. It would be his son as today’s detective. Modernize it to make it current but still keep the premise of showing who did the crime at the beginning of the episode. The villain was usually very rich and thought Columbo wasn’t that bright and they could easily get away with what they did. Columbo always acted like he was totally out of his element with these people. And why not just take the old episodes and update them? I’ve got every Columbo episode that was ever made. They’re classic and I watch them all the time. It’s fun to see how we lived in the 70’s. The cars, home decorations, clothes. And what we thought was so modern and futuristic back then with typewriters and VCR’s. But it would be fun to see how today’s Columbo would look.

They would turn it into some internet blogger with a true crimes podcast.

Not terribly optimistic, but probably the best bet for me actually watching something on network TV, besides football.
