Night Court – Just Tuesday

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Night Court – Just Tuesday
  • IMDb: link

The third episode into a series is a bit early for a character to have a major crisis of faith that changes their behavior, but that’s what’s on tap for “Just Tuesday” after Abbie Stone (Melissa Rauch) over corrects when accidentally outing an undercover cop. The police’s attitude to the court trickles down to Olivia (India de Beaufort) who finds herself not getting her usual special perks for the job. In true sitcom fashion, by the end of the episode everything is reset back to normal with a few words from Dan (John Larroquette), some of which land him temporarily in contempt of court. Some fun moments here and there, but a bit of an odd episode to be set so early in the series.
