The verdict is in: NBC's NightCourt revival is a bust. Our review -
I can take you back to the 1980s and it will cost you absolutely nothing!. This reboot of the NBC comedy, which ran from 1984-1992, epitomizes how hard it is to revisit beloved properties. How do you stay true to the source material without seeming dated, tired, and the sitcom version of an anachronism?ended, Melissa Rauch stars as Abby Stone, the daughter of Harry Stone, the character played by the late Harry Anderson in the original series.
In the pilot, the ever-cheery Abby meets Olivia , the court’s assistant district attorney, court clerk Neil , and bailiff Gurgs . All she’s missing is a public defender after Paul unceremoniously quits once Abby tells him she wants him to work harder because she believes in him. Enter her dad’s old pal Dan Fielding . Now retired from his days as the court’s district attorney , Dan has no interest in revisiting his former stomping grounds. “I left that place years ago.
Rauch is as perky as ever. Her Abby bakes her colleagues brownies and believes in people. We know this because the show repeatedly has her character saying this in many, many different ways. She wants to be a “Judge who sees them for more than their crime. That’s what my dad did. That’s what I want to do.” In case you still weren’t clear, she tells us. “I just think if you show a little compassion, you can put people on a better path.
The supporting cast play their roles broadly and without a lot of nuance, making their characters extremely one-dimensional. Larroquette, who always made Dan more than his snarky comments, and Talwalkar, whose Neil is figuring out what he wants to do with his life, are the notable exceptions. There’s a reason Larroquette has already won four Emmys for his portrayal of Dan Fielding; this remains a role he was born to play.
