Reply to comment by Midnight_Oil_ in ‘Night Court’ Revival: John Larroquette on Returning as Dan Fielding by klutzysunshine

My favorite role of his is in The 10th Kingdom, which to this day I’ve only ever encountered one other person who’s seen.

Edit: if you have Amazon prime video, I believe the 10th Kingdom is included, but with ads

I have copies on DVD and Blu-Ray. Even went so far as to email Miriam Stockley at one point to tell her I thought her version of Wishing On a Star was amazing.

That’s amazing. Did she respond?

I still watch the series every year and I never skip the title sequence.

I have them on VHS because we taped them from the TV presentation. They are a nice time capsule with the commercials from the year 2000.

Oh my God you know the 10th Kingdom?! I have had that on my computer for YEARS and you're literally the first other person I've ever heard even talk about it.

is it just me or can you hear a Whiter Shade of Pale?

I remember when this first aired -- it was advertised to death on NBC as an event miniseries and I don't think it was received very well. But when I met my spouse in the late 2000s, she had this on DVD and convinced me to watch it. And even though it looked beyond stupid and campy, I watched it and actually loved it. It has such a strange energy to it, and tonally it is actually pretty dark in places, but the chemistry between all the actors is great and it ends up being a ton of fun. We've watched it a few times and I wouldn't mind watching it again.

I would love to introduce my fiancé to it, but our shih tzu compulsively barks any time a dog is on tv, and a dog is the main character lol.

10th Kingdom is amazing and highly recommended! It's my daughters favorite movie. It was a right of passage for her boyfriends to watch 10K with her. The one who enjoyed it as much as her became her husband!

I remember watching The 10th Kingdom when it originally aired and being unimpressed. I've never watched it again to see if time has improved it in my eyes.

I've seen dozens of people on reddit who've also watched it. I still have the DVD set we bought way back when we first got a DVD player. I also bought the novelization, which is out of print so it's a tough find!
