It 's rare I can even stomach a 21st century network sitcom but I'm in for the long haul with this one.
There are times it comes in handy with my fat fingers and the touch-keyboard but mostly, when I catch it, I correct IT back to the word I want only for it too change it back. Auto-Correct and I have a... "Hateful understanding."
See, that's what I don't get. I can understand the value of the device making suggestions and letting you choose whether to accept them, but I don't understand giving it the power to change what you type automatically.
I didn't even turn mine on or enable it when I got my new smartphone. I'll just go back later and correct misspellings if I notice. Spellcheck is far more trouble than it's worth.
Well, Spellcheck is something else entirely and usually doesn't replace entire words with something completely different. I wish AC would actually correct things that matter, like when I miss the space bar and put a "v" or something betweenvwords. See? That it didn't do anything about but here it kept insisting to make "do" a "so." Why? Why?! How does a "so" there make more sense than "do" when it didn't know what else I was going to type?
Do we know how many episodes are in S1? IMDB is saying 10, but those numbers change in-season sometimes.
Not for me. It feels off. Granted, it will never be like the original. I get that but so far, it's a very pale shadow. I'll keep watching though. Maybe I need to give it more of a chance. One of the problems I have with it is I don't really like the characters. I find Abby quite annoying. The others just don't do much for me. The court clerk is boring and nondescript and the prosecutor is neither likable nor funny. The bailiff? I really don't know what to make of her yet. They need to channel some of the original Dan. Yeah, I know they aren't going to make him a skirt chaser like he was and I understand why but there are other aspects of the personality of the younger Dan that I would like to see come back.
I was more or less in agreement with this at first, but I've been starting to warm to them over the last two episodes.
I've finally caught up. It's definitely better than most of the sitcoms I've seen lately and it's slowly growing on me. I'm not really warming to Gurgs though. She might be better if there was a second bailiff character to interact with.
What a night last night: after three errands on my way home, I realized that I didn't have my reading glasses on me, so I had to go back out and retrace my steps (they turned up on the doorstep of my office!), and so I ended up going out to dinner, and relying on the DVR for Night Court. Which was delayed two minutes because the SotU coverage ran long. And so I ended up missing the last minute or so (including the punchline of the whole scene in Abby's chambers!), and having to look it up online. All in all, though, I liked the episode. Plenty of the kind of good cornball, involving sympathetic characters, that I expect from Night Court. I can certainly see how having a second bailiff would be an improvement; we always had two in the original (first Bull and Selma, then Bull and Flo, and finally Bull and Roz). Although they weren't, as I recall, playing off each other any more than each was playing off Harry, Dan, and Christine (and her predecessors). And I don't find Abby annoying at all.
The show is still good and improving five episodes in. The original first season had trouble saying that.
Having just rewatched it I'm curious to how? Now, complete disclosure, I haven't watched the revival, having been enjoying catching up on the original series. But, the first season only struggled to my mind because it decided to do an interesting weave of serious business and comedy. So far, I never saw the struggle though.
Even the fanbase and the actors themselves felt it was rough the first season. Characters still developing. Dan was a stuffy conservative who eschewed sex. Clunky storylines.
