Juzgado de guardia

I liked the original Night Court pretty well and I am a huge fan of The Big Bang Theory, so I'm willing to give this a chance. However, so much depends on the writers, and these writers really really need a lot of help. I barely made it through episode one, but I will give the next one or two a try. I really wish Internet Movie Database would stop requiring a certain number of characters in a review. I like to be succinct but they are requiring me to be overly loquacious. Even with all this I can't come up with enough words! Gives this show a chance, you might like it. Then again maybe you won't.

I wanted so badly to like the show, and I have stuck through it into the second season simply because John Larroquette has. It has departed so far from what the original was supposed to be. The jokes are terrible. The majority of the characters are unlikable. The cuteness that Melissa Rauch had on big bang is just annoying now. I will probably finish out this season for John, but unless there are major improvements in the remaining episodes, I'm giving up on it, and I think everyone else should too. It's clear now that this show never should have happened. The charisma and talent of the original cast is what it made so special. None of that is present here.

Now i love the original 1984-92 night court, it was funny, hilarious and had a lot of style, this one however despite the comeback of john larroquette is truly banal and all over the map, melissa raunch who was hilarious in the big bang theory is wasted here is abby stone, the daughter of judge harry t stone and the rest of the cast is lost too, there's no brent spiner, no marsha warfield, no richard moll, none of that, the teleplay is real boring, the dialogue is ridiculous and what is a laugh track doing in this predicable mess, i know there a few good moments here and there, but this is just a bore, this is a very poor and boring intimidation of the original, rent the original night court instead.

I'm giving it a c-

thumbs down for me on the new version of night court.

In a word, this show sucks, and that's a shame...The original Night Court was hilarious. John Laroquette is the only actor with any real comedic timing and delivery. He even makes his lines that are at times terribly written bring a chuckle. The lady playing Olivia almost ruins the show. The bailiff is played by a comedienne, and I understand why I've never heard of her.

This show is so poorly written...The writing team must not understand comedy, because they sure can't write a good joke.

Melissa doesn't annoy me as much as she seems to bother many other reviewers...she's okay, it's just the material she is given lacks comedic substance.

My wife loves the show...I have to watch this show and Call Me Kat weekly. Please have pity on me.

Thank God for John Laroquette. If not for him I wouldn't have bothered watching this reboot at all. By the way, who asked for this reboot? NOBODY.

One thing that the original NC was great at (and there were many things, at least back in the 80's) is that it didn't feel forced. There were goofballs coming in left and right, Harry played off of John well, everyone had their own thing and everything just worked. Nothing felt forced. This new NC feels just like every other comedy show made after the 90's (with a few exceptions)...canned. I don't think that John can carry this show andI don't see it lasting more than maybe two seasons though I'd be shocked if they make it to two seasons.

Not sure they can re-create the magic. The characters aren't very likeable with the exception of course of John plus the bailiff. But even the bailiff's schtick is going to get old if they don't get these scripts and characters dialed in. It is nearly impossible to reboot a show and have it be as good as the original and so my hope is that they cut this nonsense out. If the studios decide to reboot The Jeffersons, Three's Company, MASH, Different Strokes, Alf, Golden Girls or anything else on my list, I'm jumping off the planet (lol).
