It has been 28 years since Night Court’s case closed. However, NBC is thinking of bringing it back with John Larroquette reprising his role as the lovable, wait, love-starved Dan Fielding.
According to Deadline, the sequel, which is produced by The Big Bang Theory’s Melissa Rauch, will be about Harry T. Stone’s daughter taking over his bench and Fielding giving her support in his own special way.
I would be supportive of that idea if Harry Anderson was still alive. Without him, it seems like Miss Sullivan’s son would be a better choice for the lead. Then again, there is also Mac and Quon Le’s kids. Better yet, how about if Bull and Roz got married and made a baby, and that baby became the judge?
Night Court is one of my all-time favorite shows, and I just think it is disrespectful to base the show around Anderson’s character’s daughter when he is not here to be her Buddy.
Will you watch if NBC picks it up to series?
UPDATE: Marsha Warfield, who played Roz on the sitcom, reveals how she feels about the Night Court Sequel. To hear what she said and if she is going to be part of it, then click here!
Matthew Morrison played the lead character in the live-action Grinch the Musical on NBC tonight. That means he had to spend a lot of time in the makeup chair to get ready for the role. How long? He sat there for three and a half hours as they applied makeup, prosthetics, and hair. Was it worth it? Watch the final product, and tell me! But I say it was totally worth it.
Am I the only one who thinks he looked like Frankenstein until they started to put the hair on his face?

Tonight at 8p, Superstore celebrates its 100th episode on NBC. To celebrate the milestone, they are going to be saying goodbye to Amy. America Ferrara announced in February that she was leaving the show. However, her departure took a little longer because COVID-19 shut down production before she could get a proper farewell.
Tonight is her last day of work, and she and Jonah (Ben Feldman) are preparing for their move to California. Their co-workers don’t want to see them leave; can they do anything to stop them. Obviously, they can’t stop Amy, but will they be able to keep Jonah?
You have to tune in for an episode that gives at least one character a perfect sendoff.
BTW Am I the only one who will not miss her? Amy is too bossy, and I want these characters to run free and be the worst Cloud 9 employees they can be.
In this episode, Ben (Preacher Lawson), Pradeep (Parvesh Cheena), Annie (Otmara Marrero), Ellis (Shakina Nayfack), Rufus (Ely Henry), Michelle (Jill Knox), and Garrett (Keith Powell) talk about going to attend their first Black Lives Matter protest.
Ben really wants to do it, but his mother (Loretta Divine) doesn’t want him to because she fears he will get in trouble. She will get her wish when he gets sick. Does he have COVID-19? He will go and get the test to find out.
Since he can’t march with his family, his brother-in-law Garrett goes in his place. Pradeep is going because one of his adopted toddlers is African American, and he wants him to learn about his race. Ellis is marching to support Black Trans people, while Rufus and Annie are attending for the cause. Shortly after they meet up, they all get lost in the crowd. When they get home and Zoom each other, they find out that one of them got arrested.
Which of the seven will spend time in jail? You just have to watch a powerful episode that shows how meaningful these rallies are and how they affect those who attend.
NBC had an inspirational comedy on their hands with Connecting…, but they didn’t handle it correctly. Therefore, today they announced that the sitcom, about our times now, will air its final four episodes on Peacock and NBC.com starting this Thursday at 8:30p.
Connecting… is a groundbreaking sitcom where the actors shot themselves via technology as they did stories about COVID-19, the lockdown, George Floyd, loneliness, and everything else in between. It was real, and it was funny. It just didn’t have enough of you watching.
I blame NBC for that. It was the first scripted show to air on NBC and did not have any other shows to promote it with. Comedies always have a hard time finding an audience, so throwing it out there, seeing if it can stick, is not going to work. They should have waited and paired it up with Superstore and debuted it then. Then it might have had a better chance.
If you missed it, then catch up on it on NBC.com and Peacock. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEHEgmDACZ0 Superstore is back on NBC tonight at 8p, and it takes place right when the pandemic was just starting out. That is because the sitcom never got to shoot its season finale due to the coronavirus pandemic emerging in the United States.
Amy (America Ferrera) just announced that she is starting a new job in California, and everyone wants to know if Jonah (Ben Feldman) is going to go with her. That is whenever they open up their offices again.
While corporate is closed, Cloud 9 is still open. Amy is doing both jobs, her old and new one. She is trying to help her co-workers adjust to working during a pandemic with no help from the big bosses. Therefore, they will come up with creative ways to remain safe. In a way, only they can.
I can’t wait to see how they move forward with the show as the season goes on. I don’t think many of us realized how bad all of this is on the big box workers. At least now they have representation on television like so many other frontline workers.
Then at 8:30p, Connecting picks up shortly after we were all horrified when we saw what happened to George Floyd. Michelle (Jill Knox) is taking it really hard. She doesn’t have a lot of time to deal with it because she is working from home. It would not be that bad if she were dealing with just the job. However, she is also trying to figure out how to save all of her co-worker jobs too.
Her friends and her husband (Keith Powell) see how stressed she is, and they are trying to help her. However, they are stressed too, dealing with everything going on.
This is something we have all been going through over the last several months. Connecting is doing a brilliant job merging the real world with a fictional one and making it enjoyable. Watch it tonight and every Thursday after Superstore.
