Night Court is going into its third season on NBC in the Fall, but it will be missing another actor from the credits.
Kapil Talwalkar, who played the clerk, left ahead of the second season, and he was replaced by Nyambi Nyambi.
Now, we are hearing another lead is leaving the sitcom. India de Beaufort, who played Olivia Moore, the Assistant District Attorney who wants out of working night court, will get her wish.
“For the last two years I have had the immense privilege of driving onto the WB lot and walking onto a stage filled with the most hard working, loving and talented cast and crew that comedy has to offer. Today they received a season three pick up. Knowing and loving them as I do, I am beyond overjoyed for the most deserving people I know. I will miss the honor of being in their brilliant company, but my god. That was fun,” the actress recently wrote on social media. “My time at Night Court has come to an end. I greatly thank NBC, WB, After January Productions and our Writers / Producers / Directors / Cast and Crew for two incredible years. My favorite thing about this business is how often old friends appear in new places; that’ll be a day I look forward to greatly. Much love, India”
It is unclear if it was her decision to depart from the sequel, but I wish her the best.
Sadly, the person who needs to leave the show to make it better will not be leaving because the show is based around them. And it is not the brilliant John Laroquette.
For ten years, Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon have been head-to-head at 11:35p with their talk shows on two different coasts.
However, tonight at 10p, they will battle it out on the same set on NBC’s Password.
Which late night host will be the winner? You will have to tune in to find out!
But I will tell you it is a funny episode hosted by Keke Palmer with one ultimate winner. But there is no declaration of who it is.
Can you guess which Jimmy is better at the game?
And since you are going to watch NBC at 10, you should also watch it at 8:30p. Extended Family’s season finale with Jon Cryer, Abigail Spencer, and Donald Faison which delivers a heartfelt episode that prepares couples for marriage. That is if Jim (Cryer) doesn’t break up Julia (Spencer) and Trey’s (Faison) engagement. But then again, it is their fault for asking him to what they asked him to do.
Extended Family is the best new sitcom of the season, and tonight at 8:30p, we are getting another new episode on NBC.
The sitcom is about divorcees Jim (Jon Cryer) and Julia (Abigail Spencer), who are co-parenting their children, Grace (Sofia Capanna) and Jimmy (Finn Sweeney). As in, the parents are one week on and one week off at their marital home.
Julia has moved on because she is engaged to Celtic’s owner, Trey (Donald Faison). Tonight, he gets his first test of parenting.
It is time for the switchover, and Julia is tied up with something else. Therefore, Trey is in charge. So, when Grace asks if her friend can come over for a sleepover, he says yes.
He got this. That is until she comes over crying because her boyfriend dumped her.
Can Trey handle this? Good thing Jim didn’t leave, so he will help his future ex-wife’s husband out.
And they will work together to help Grace out as an extended family.
If that is not reason enough to watch, then how about seeing Cryer caught with his pants down? That got me tuning in!
For decades, the perfect family show consisted of a married couple and their children. But that was then, and this is today.
NBC’s Extended Family is a family show for 2024. That means it is a divorced couple trying to navigate their new normal with their kids. And in the case of this sitcom, when one of the spouses meets someone new.
Jim (Jon Cryer) and Julia (Abigail Spencer) were married for 17 years, but like half of the marriages, theirs ended in divorce.
They are the parents of two kids, and they have an interesting custody agreement. They each have one week on and one week off at their old place. So, the kids get to stay in their rooms. And it seems to be working.
Julia has moved on, and she is now engaged to the Celtics’ owner, Trey (Donald Faison). He has never been married, nor has he had any kids. So, he is trying to navigate all of this for the first time.
Julia is there to help him, but Jim is not. However, Jim has no choice because Trey is going to be part of their family. And Trey is learning that he has to give in to Jim because he is the father, and it is still his house.
And that sums up what Extended Family is. It is a family trying to work things out post-divorce with a new partner in the mix.
And this is the reality for so many families today.
Tonight at 8:30p on NBC, Jim gets pulled over with Trey and his kids in the car. Jim gets off with a warning because of who Trey is, and he thinks it is bad for the kids to see they can get away with stuff because of who they are.
Trey doesn’t think it is a problem. But Jim complains to Julia, and now she has to lecture her fiance’ about being a better influence on her children.
Will Trey be able to adjust to his new role as a future stepfather, or will Jim have to stop being so neurotic? You just have to tune into this season’s funniest sitcom! And one of the only family comedies on television. And families need a show to watch together. Because not watching family sitcoms leads to divorce, according to a BS study I just made up in my head.
And talking about things that just came to my head, it took me a few episodes to realize that this is a modern take on the family sitcom. And because of that, it deserves to be given a chance. So give it a chance, and fall in love with it like I have.
