ch1 December 29, 2023 Share December 29, 2023 Aside from character deaths like Selma and Flo the original never acknowledged Lana or other characters leaving. They might not acknowledge Neil leaving. 1 Link to comment

Cress January 2 Share January 2 Just to confirm, the Flobert character is replacing Neil from last season. https://tvline.com/casting-news/night-court-neil-leaving-season-2-kapil-talwalkar-nbc-1235104102/ I think they're writing him out so we don't have the love triangle anymore. They do need to do more comedy and less drama. Link to comment

He'd be a hoot to come back, now a wealthy man again (I think he was a journalist in the original, before he became homeless). I'm just tickled the Wheelers are back, even for one episode. 1 Link to comment

theartandsound May 6 Share May 6 I'M SO RELIEVED!!!!! I really grew to love this show, for all of its faults, even as a huge fan of the original. Now all I need is ABC to renew NOT DEAD YET and my doses of fizzy effervescence for the week will be just fine. 3 Link to comment

benteen May 22 Share May 22 (edited) That is really disappointing. After Dan, I thought Olivia was the most entertaining character on the show. Interestingly enough, India was a replacement for another actress after the original pilot. Edited May 22 by benteen 4 Link to comment

Dammit. She really grew on me. Perhaps my favorite new character. This blows. 😭 7 Link to comment
benteen May 22 Share May 22 (edited) I will agree with one thing I read elsewhere. Olivia wasn't much of a sparring partner for Dan as they were both jaded characters. I suspect they'll go with another younger actress like India but an older actress whose character has been around a long time like Dan would be intriguing. Edited May 23 by benteen Link to comment
ch1 May 22 Share May 22 At least in the original show’s defense part of the reason for the revolving door was due to actor deaths and one of the actors (Markie Post) not being available initially. This version seems to have actors that just don’t want to stay. Although IMO Neil was not a loss. Olivia was growing on me. 1 Link to comment
Virtual June 23 Share June 23 Actors leaving the show has me concerned about it going beyond Season 3. 2 Link to comment
kaygeeret July 6 Share July 6 Watching the reruns to see if the show has improved. I made 15 minutes before switching to something else. The judge and the prosecutor talk so fast their lines are hard to understand. Maybe that's a blessing as the lines don't seem to be funny and the deliveries are awful. How did this mess get renewed? 1 Link to comment
DanaK July 9 Share July 9 New season premieres Tuesday November 19 at 8:30pm ET. Seems kind of a late premiere, but that’s likely due to the Tuesday edition of The Voice being at 8pm for awhile http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2024/07/09/nbc-announces-premiere-dates-for-fall-461314/20240709nbc01/ Link to comment

Yes, her character is crazy, but hopefully they'll dial that down a bit (and keep her edge). She and John Larroquette are awesome together, and in a whole other league of comedy actors (I would go so far as to say comedy treasures). 6 1 Link to comment
DXD526 July 10 Share July 10 I've always enjoyed Wendie Malick, so this is good news. I was really starting to like Olivia, though, so I'm not really happy she's being replaced. 4 Link to comment

I was really starting to like Olivia, though, so I'm not really happy she's being replaced. I have found myself torn on Olivia and unable to articulate why. I was sad when it was announced she was leaving but I also understood why they got rid of her. Her delivery was like she was trying to emulate an old-timey movie, like His Girl Friday. It didn't seamlessly fit in with the tone of the show nor do I think she pulled it off very well. (Amy Yasbeck did a similar delivery in the TV show Wings once upon a time and she was able to pull it off, IMO.) However, if you were to ask me which original cast member had the best chemistry with others in the cast, I'd probably say Olivia. I think she and Dan had a great dynamic. Olivia and Gurgs were a fun duo. I even think she had more romantic chemistry potential with Neil and Wyatt. For that reason, I was a little bummed she was going to be replaced. That said. Wendie Malik is a legend. She definitely made the writing shine last season (although I didn't remember she was a lawyer.) I can't fault them for this decision. 2 Link to comment
benteen July 11 Share July 11 Did not expect it. It might not make any sense hoe she is now a prosecutor but it's Night Court. Malick is great as is her chemistry with Dan. Should be a lot of fun. 1 Link to comment
januaryman July 12 Share July 12 Larroquette needs someone from his own era to play against so this is a good move. Now they need to bring back Linda the records clerk. Link to comment
Yeah No July 12 Share July 12 I was sorry to hear that Olivia was leaving but now that I know they're replacing her with Wendie Malick I totally get it and approve. I'm still sad, but approve nonetheless. I always felt like Olivia's character wasn't integrated enough into the cast or the show itself. Link to comment
shapeshifter July 12 Share July 12 I only watched a couple of episodes at most of this show, but I will be tuning in to see if Wendie Malick's magic can make it worth my while. Link to comment
kaygeeret July 12 Share July 12 I am rescinding my disdain for this show because Malick and Larroquette together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm hoping the writing does them justice. Can't wait! Link to comment
