Watching the trailer this was the very first thing I noticed. The courtroom was grey and grimey. Now it looks a bit brighter with a new coat of paint on it. I know it might be nitpicking mentioning it, but the grey, rundown look just worked for the show.

100%. Night Court was my favorite show growing up, first thing I noticed was everyone was yukking it up like the entire concept was a joke. The original series had some pretty dark moments.

Probably half the episodes had a “real” scene - non-comedic, with a character dealing with some real emotion. Trust being broken, death, abandonment and more. I rewatched the first 7 seasons recently and it as sort of wowed at how they switched from comedy to dramatic moment quickly, and it was as usually Harry. Quite a talent, I think mostly because he wasn’t an “actor” in the traditional sense.
