If the character of Dan is still chasing women in his 60s (70s?), there is no creative standpoint. It’s what made the Murphy Brown reboot so bad… none of the characters had grown in the years they’d been off the air. Even the Brady Bunch made Greg a doctor and sent Cindy to college. I note that the press release Variety quoted called the new series a spinoff rather than a reboot. So I agree that trying to resurrect the old show with Fielding now in his seventies and pulling the same shtick would be creepy and repellent. And it would be creepy and repellent coming from a new prosecutor character who would be the age Fielding was when Night Court aired. But Dan Rubin found something to write about in that show's universe and it got enough talent on board to get NBC interested. So maybe they figured out how to move on and make it a new series rather than a reboot. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
