i kinda feel like that, Roc, early Roseanne, etc. were kinda the last vestiges of the era of sitcoms that were about blue collar down on their luck types, before Friends came along.
Yup. I'd also add Dear John, which taps into the formula of Taxi: Judd Hirsch as a sensible, somewhat disillusioned guy surrounded by lonely New York City eccentrics.

haha i watched every episode of Dear John too. i watched all these shows while visiting my recently divorced and bankrupted father, so the world of these kinds of shows felt a little familiar to me.

every time i see Jere Burns show up in stuff like Justified and Breaking Bad to this day i'm still like "hey it's dude from Dear John!"

the only episode of Dear John I remember is the one where Ricky Fortune was trying to resurrect his fledging musical career.
and that the song went "Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh...you know I love you".
and that Kirk came in and asked where he was at the end and asked "Where's Ricky" and John says "He's gone", and Kirk starts wailing "OH GOD, WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM", thinking he is dead, and John quietly saying "Kirk - he LEFT".

I loved john laroquette on this (and his later sitcom which was totally dark)

I feel like parts of my psyche were sculpted by my enjoyment of Laroquette's character at a young age

I have often wondered - are there actual cities with courts open at night? Cuz every time anybody I know has been arrested at night, they had to spend a night in jail and wait to be arraigned in the morning. And nobody serves on night jury...
Yeah, one time I got a ticket on the hiway loop that goes around Atlanta and coincidentally the area I was driving in had just become a city, and I ended up with two court dates for this one ticket, one in Atlanta and one in Dunwoody (or something simliar). It was for an expired tag and the Atlanta date was first so I went and showed that I had renewed the tag and they said ok you are free to go and you don't own any fees but OH you still have to go to that second court date. Second court date was held in an office building cos the city was so new they didn't have a court house and was at like 5pm. It took me 3 hours and I was the absolutely LAST person called and the judge took at a look at my paperwork and said oh yeah you can go, no fines, etc. Thanks a lot dudes.
I step outside and it is dark and I think "Oh, cool, I was at Night Court". And it was the only glimmer of goodness that came out of the whole ordeal.

They've cycled back to the first season on LAFF. Michael J. Fox & Olivia Barash play teenage shoplifters in the second ep!

caught a good one surfing around the other week. a lady's husband died, supposedly because of some special sex move she did. dan, of course, was DYING to experience this special move. finally, she invited him into the elevator to experience it for himself. he came out quite disheveled, let me tell you! but he survived.

They just got into the first Ellen Foley ep today, which came after a one-off introducing Markie Post as Christine, who of course would return and replace Foley the next season.
It's kind of interesting that the recognized 'Classic Cast' wasn't cemented until the fourth season. Charles Robinson joined in the second, Post in the third, and Marsha Warfield came aboard in the fourth. Can't think of many other long-running shows you can say the same of.

So there's a reboot in the works with Laroquette, and the just-announced Melissa Rauch as Harry's judge daughter...

a whole lotta talent would need to come together to make a reboot more than a mediocre curiosity.

You may have missed it but “Laroquette” above is referring to John Laroquette, of Night Court fame…

The amount of talent you describe resides in his pinky finger.

Yep. For me, a reboot with Markie Post, Richard Moll, Roz and everyone still alive they could rope into but, no Laroquette? I'd probably pass, though honestly I'd check it out of morbid curiosity.
But a reboot with Laroquette as the only returning cast member? Good enough for me!

John Larroquette is really good at playing a jerk, that was pretty much his thing.
They needed to make a movie with John Larroquette vs. Charles Grodin.

Would you believe that one of his post-Larroqutte Show gigs was in an American adaptation of Fawlty Towers w/JoBeth Williams & Julie Benz?

Night Court is almost inseparable in my mind from its mid-'80s Thursday night counterparts. So I hope they're working on a Cheers reboot to air immediately before it.

i watched the first 2 eps of the reboot and i genuinely laughed at many lines, most of them Larroquette but still - it’s kinda charming somehow still so far some nice nods to harry as well
