STAC Goat posted:I had a sad moment when I saw a commercial for it, learned it existed, saw Laroquette in it, and then realized everyone else was dead. As someone who watched the original religiously, my main takeaway from the trailer is it's creepy how closely they recreated the original sets. Must have been even weirder for Larroquette.

every (admittedly small) trailer/snippet i have seen of the new Night Court makes it look dreadful/empty in a way that I don't think even John Larroquette circa 85 to 89 could save. godspeed to the brave souls trying it out tonight

Larroquette is killing it in that small scene they released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7_ernyDLks "Wow, look at that view!" "That is what sold Sarah on the place." "Is Sarah your wife?" *small pause* "She was." In that pause, he reveals so much has happened in that last 30 years. Dan, the ultimate womanizer, met someone, fell in love, settled down, got an apartment, and she died. He's now a widower, living in the same apartment she wanted, and he's let himself fall apart quite a bit as a result. But he also has the hint of a smile that says he doesn't regret a day he spent with her. The set dressing you could see, but it all falls into place with his small pause before, "She was." loving killing it. So that one scene is what's giving me hope. We'll see. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Jan 17, 2023 |

It's a great clickbait headline, but the likelihood that they were going to continue with The Grand Tour or future seasons of Jeremy Clarkson's Farm weren't that good to begin with. They still have 4 Grand Tour specials coming out between now and 2024 and there's no indication that they aren't still happening and, from what I gather from those who watched it, the Farm show has run its course. The headline makes it sound like Amazon is dropping him immediately, but there's been no indication of that at all.

Yeah, the "set to be" part of "Clarkson set to be dumped" in the headline is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Like, okay, "set" when?

Yeah, it's like right there in the article too.quote:US-based Variety reported on Monday that Amazon Prime was “likely to be parting ways” with Clarkson after 2024, when his shows Clarkson’s Farm and The Grand Tour – which are in production – are due to end. You don't say, they are going to part ways with him after the shows that he's in are done? It's not like Clarkson is some content generating powerhouse, once these shows run their course there's not much more reason for Amazon to contract with him. I also find it slightly amusing when an English publication thinks anyone in America gives two shits about what people say about the royal family. He's done and said a lot of lovely things, for THIS to be the breaking point for Amazon? Yeah, I doubt it.

I have a disease where I get Ricky Gervais, Jeremy Clarkson, and Piers Morgan confused. Like, one's a comedian, one's on car shows, and one is a..."Reporter", but I can never remember who did/said which stupid thing, besides Piers Morgan being horribly transphobic to some of his guests and also wanting to gently caress Meghan Markle.

Chairman Capone posted:Between Paul's obsession with Woliner and the Russian actress, and what he wrote for the sex slave actress in the fictional scene, the guy is absolutely a giant creep in real life, no question. I am honestly surprised that between being simultaneously incredibly gullible and a clear grifter, obsessing over giant FBI raids and sex trafficking conspiracies, and confusing movies with real life, he doesn't seem to have gotten swept up into QAnon. I wondered this too until I remembered that I think he made a joke about not liking Trump. Might have saved him. Also he may just not be Internet savvy enough to get into it, based off of his Twitter use.

Escobarbarian posted:They’re all massive cunts so that’s fair I was hugely into Top Gear during its BBC America rerun heyday, but I definitely didn’t pay attention to Clarkson or Hammond outside the show. I only gave a poo poo about May’s other shows and specials, so I was largely insulated from what a piece of poo poo Clarkson was pretty much until they were all fired.

Iron Crowned posted:I figured out what's putting me off: Everyone, except Larroquette is very eager to shout their punchlines They're also playing their characters way too broadly. OG Night Court was very often farcical, but it was still played with restraint. Sort of like how the throughline for The Muppet Show was that the final score at the end of every episode was "Frog 100, Chaos 99."

There are just too many moments where it's dialed up to 11 when it should be played at 7. It's clearly written to be that way too but most of the cast just isn't up to the task.

I do appreciate that none of the characters are really obvious redos of ones from the old show. The DA is a bit like Season 1 Dan before he became a sex fiend, but that's as close as it gets I think. Abby is a lot like Harry, but also quite a bit like Christine. To the point that I wonder if, before Markie Post passed away, they might have planned on her being Abby's mom.
