I love when Tracy does the cut cut scissors thing with his fingers.

Honestly, network television is all about appealing to the older demographic now. So there are endless crime procedurals, multicam sitcoms with audiences - some of which are reboots of old favorites, and sensationalized 'news' shows featuring the murder of the week. All simple products with very little depth. And it's exactly what brings in ratings from those who still watch TV traditionally. It 'moneyballs' Nielsen. CBS cracked the code a few years back and now the other networks have followed suit.

Holy hell that was hilarious and insane.
> .. it would be awkward for Trump because she is in his family and awkward for Giuliani as she isn't in his.

My dad travelled to NYC for work often. 3-4 times a year for over 20 years. He talks about Giuliani reviving New York and how he saw it getting noticeably better when he was the mayor.
Kinda sad the dude was a crook all along. Or so it seems

Did you not see him at the State of the Union? He was animated and quick there too. He completely cornered the GOP when it came to Medicare/SocSec and forced them to do a "we don't actually want to cut entitlements" tour for the last week.

No. The problem is that he's ok. But we need someone younger and better.

The original is incredibly wholesome. With typical 80s style raunchiness thrown in.
I recently watched it again for the first time in decades, and every other episode is one of the cast having an issue and the others coming through to stand by for them. From helping Roz deal with her diabetes, to pitching in to help with Christine's baby, to standing up for Harry, to just looking out for the random defendant of the week.
Early in the show there is an episode where Dan gets engaged to a frumpy looking rich woman. Everyone assumes it is because of the money, but he gives a speech about love that is very touching. Of course, status quo wins out in the end and she leaves him. But instead of instantly defaulting to type, Dan turns down a one night stand and starts to walk away. He slows down, lowers his head and says in a low voice "...Harry"
And Harry puts his hand over his shoulders and they walk away together. Its a very touching moment.
Overall there is more of that in the show than people remember. Yes, its zany and silly and full of juvenile sex jokes but at its core there is a great story of friendship and compassion, and the cast does a great job at selling it.

Telling the truth about an incompetent treason weasel isn't character assassination.

It really does suck that anyone who lived in NYC before and after him knows just how good a mayor he was for the city. I’m not gonna shill for a politician that I don’t know but this whole series screams “cope” to me.

Harry Anderson was a very special comedian/actor and you can't just recreate magic (no pun intended) like that. In the couple episodes I managed to get through, John Larroquette was carrying the whole show.
