What to Know

Critics Consensus

This revival retains enough of the original Night Court's spirit to ward off objections from fans while offering a somewhat stale sitcom format to newcomers, but it ought to sustain interest when judged alongside its own peers.

Sara Morrison Vox 01/19/2023
The show does a good job of feeling familiar yet fresh. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com 01/18/2023
Generating initial curiosity, though, isn’t the same as sustaining interest, and this is one of those efforts to cash in on a familiar title to be filed under “Nobody Really Asked For This.” Go to Full Review Joshua Alston Variety 01/18/2023
As with any other suddenly reanimated television show, some skepticism toward Night Court is natural and healthy. But if given the opportunity to be heard, it acquits itself well. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ 08/14/2023
Yes, there is a sense that he and the show have adapted to these more timid times for mainstream comedy, but, fortunately, neither has completely lost its sense of anarchy or quest to deliver slightly more adult-orientated humour... Go to Full Review Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal 03/15/2023
2/4
Of the new cast members, Lacretta (as bailiff Donna “Gurgs” Gurganous) has the best shot at helping recall the past. She’s a good comedian who knows where the laughs are, even when they're not obvious. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 01/25/2023
3/5
And there are chuckles, though the show reaches too often for wackiness, usually mixing Grugs into the action and making her spit out punchlines. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mary D @RT34474939 01/15/2025 OMG how is this still on? It is absolutely beyond stupidity! Embarrassing, painful to watch. How does it keep getting renewed? See more Carlos G @cgarcia 11/30/2024 This show is TERRIBLE! I can't, for the life of me, understand how this show has 1 season not to mention 3! Só many good shows get cancelled and this crap show gets 3 seasons!?!? I don't mean to ofend anyone but only People with sérious issues evaluate this with more than 1 star. See more Sofi A @RT52019558 03/29/2024 Malísima serie, ponen las risas de fondo cuando no hay chiste. He visto a los actores trabajar en otras películas y series, y anteriormente me han parecido buenos profesionales así que claramente el problema acá son los escritores. No fluye para nada el diálogo, se ve forzado. Malísimo y aburrido. See more D.L. J @RT83616811 02/13/2024 The actors and writers are trying hard, but its just not cohesive enough to make it truly good. Still, if you're a fan of the old show this is worth a watch. See more Jan V @RT50475020 01/09/2024 First 8 or so episodes are pretty good. Then it takes a dive into the bad sitcom pit with nonsensical situations that have nothing to do with the premise. See more Jason R @JCR76 12/24/2023 This is what Network TV is. Too afraid to push the envelope due to the PC movement crying foul, so they create these completely unfunny shows than have humor even a child wouldn't laugh at. Network TV's standards are so low and so bad at this point, it's just embarrassing. All due to a small portion of the country who get 'offended' over every little thing because they have no life and need to cry victim. See more Read all reviews
