Ah, Dan Fielding, the perpetually inappropriate elder statesman of Night Court. This Tuesday, the former ladies’ man finds himself in a precarious position: facing a job review. Apparently, those city satisfaction kiosks don’t appreciate his particular brand of charm. Who knew constituents wouldn’t respond well to being called “sweet cheeks” while rating their local sanitation services?
Meanwhile, Abby and Gurgs stumble upon a surprising revelation about Wyatt’s daughter. The details are scarce, but given Night Court’s penchant for quirky plot twists, one can only imagine the possibilities. Is she secretly a contortionist? A competitive eater? Perhaps she holds the key to the location of Jimmy Hoffa’s missing socks.
While the prospect of Dan Fielding losing his job seems unlikely – he’s the cockroach of the NBC comedy universe, the storyline does offer potential for comedic gold. Picture Dan trying to feign humility, or worse, competence. The sheer awkwardness is enough to make one snort with laughter.
Night Court airs Tuesdays at 8:30 PM ET/PT on NBC.
