Funny, I disagree on those points exactly. I think Rauch hasn't quite found the right tone, and Lucretta is playing a bit too broad. I think the characters would both benefit from the actors dialing it back just a little. (Same with de Beaufort.)

Night Court was all over syndication in the 90s. It was a contemporary of Cheers, not Seinfeld and Friends. I don't know how old you are, but I'm guessing it just got cycled out of syndication before your time.

I keep watching it, even though it’s pretty rough so far. de Beaufort and Lucretta are playing way too broad. Talwalker’s character offers nothing of interest yet. The laugh track feels more fake than usual. Rauch’s take doesn’t quite fit; maybe if she dials back the cheeriness...?

Larroquette is still perfect, and the only reason I keep watching in the hopes they figure it out.
