Night Court – Pilot / The Nighthawks

  • IMDb: link / link

Hollywood’s love affair with reboots continues with this modern take on the 80s sitcom Night Court. The Big Bang Theory‘s Melissa Rauch stars as Judge Abbie Stone, the daughter of Harry, who in the “Pilot” episode takes over her dad’s old stomping grounds. The only character brought back from the original show is John Larroquette as Dan Fielding who is lured back to the courtroom by the spunky younger Stone as the court’s new public defender. Both the first two episodes are about Abby and Dan struggling to fit into their new roles as the show itself attempts to find its footing.

The episode does allow Tech to get a little more time, becoming the hero of the episode by flying the winning speeder. The episode ends with a warning about Cid from a less-than-reliable source that doesn’t really tell the clones anything they didn’t already know about their partner of convince.
