OG Yes! Reboot No! Lecretta's Gotta Go
The original Night Court had an episode where school children took a field trip to the courtroom. That episode ranks somewhere near the bottom 10 of the series for me. This episode has to be near the bottom 5 episodes of all tv shows for me. Both episodes beg the question, why are children visiting a courtroom active from 10 pm to 3 am??
It's true that sitcoms are an endangered species, and this episode is a good reason why. Does everyone have a right to have their opinion heard? Absolutely. Do I want politics and social issues thrown at me every time I watch a tv show to unwind from this crazy world? Absolutely not.
A bailiff who joins in a protest against their judge's decision while on the job?? How does Gurg still have a job? All acting is stiffer than a board and the episode that is supposed to take some sort of action scratches the surface. One two minute conversation fixes everything. I really hope this series gets better.
