Just the Fax, Dan

This is a belated review for Episode 4 of season 2 of the new Night Court. This episode is called Just the Fax, Dan This is the first episode to feature Nyambi Nyambi as the replacement clerk for Neil. In the first three episodes of season 2, the Flobert character was filling in the vacancy. Neil was played by Kapil Talwalkar who did an excellent job with his role. Kapil Talwalkar should not have been dropped from the series. That being said, Nyambi does okay in his debut performance. However, after that, up through episode seven, he does a terrible job.

The two standouts here from an acting standpoint are John Laroquette and Lacretta who are fine performers as usual.

The script this time around is frankly a little boring but the mystery angle manages to keep one watching. There are a small handful of laughs most of which are courtesy of Lacretta as Gurgs.

All of the other performances in the episode range from bad to okay One thing I must say is that the episode wrapped up in a fairly satisfying way. This is the best of the first seven episodes of season 2 but it is still subpar TV. A 4 out of 10 it is.

Next time, I will be reviewing episode 5. Stay tuned!
