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
