NEW COMEDY TV SERIES
UNCOUPLED & NIGHT COURT
With Mom, Bob Hearts Abishola and Last Man Standing ending next week (Mom and LMS for good), the comedy landscape on the telly will be sad till
next season, but some new series have been ordered already. UNCOUPLED is among them, over at Netflix. Coming from Darren Star, the 8 part sitcom will follow Michael, who thought his life was perfect until his husband blindsided him by walking out the door after 17 years. Overnight, Michael has to confront two nightmares - losing what he thought was his soulmate and suddenly finding himself a single gay man in his mid-40s in New York City. NBC has ordered a sequel to classic multicam sitcom NIGHT COURT which will now follow the unapologetic optimist judge Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch), daughter of the late Harry Stone, who follows in her father’s footsteps as she presides over the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court and tries to bring order to its crew of oddballs and cynics, most notably former night court prosecutor Dan Fielding (John Larroquette reprises his role from the original 80's series). Stay tuned for more sitcom news as most networks will have their upfronts (the time when they announce projects for next season) next week!
