Night Court is back after 30 years.

The 3rd episode is a lot funnier in my opinion.
"The defendant is charged with a D&D D&D. A drunk and disorderly while playing Dungeons and Dragons."

"I learned nerd for this."

that had me cracking up

I'd like to see the cases get wackier tho - they feel like they're playing it a little safe so far and not dipping into the truly absurd.

It's a lot easier to get cancelled these days. Half the jokes of the original like the skits about the continual trials of the hard working but inept immigrants from Eastern Europe or Dan's rampant sexism would not be allowed.

or Dan's rampant sexism would not be allowed.

That was part of his deal for coming back was that he gets actual character development.

I'm going to have to use that "which of you can keep a secret?" and "Which of you are lying?" lines.

seriously episode 3 is definately a step up.

edit: and hot damn John, you still got it.

Well....saw the first two....and, well, nothing special yet.

BUT then it did take the original Night Court like TWO years to get good....

I was definitely pondering the question of what the quality arc of the original was like, but TBH, I can’t recall.

That said, E.3 was clearly the best of the new series thus far. Some good gags. Quotable lines.

The old Dan Fielding would have already tried to have a three way with the Judge and Prosecuted, this one has elements enough to be recognizable as Dan, but lacks the old Dan's thirst. Maybe because of his marriage to Sarah.

Yeah. There’s definitely some kind of story there, because it’s apparent she changed him profoundly.
