What if "Night Court" was focused around the character of Ms Sullivan? And what if Ms Sullivan was kind of a bitch? And what if the characters were allowed to say words like sh*t and p*ssy? And what if it wasn't nearly as funny?

This actually depresses me, because (a) I really liked Night Court, and (b) I would've loved to watch that show had they not had that level of broadcast restrictions.

What depresses me about this is that I really like several members of the main cast - Eliza Coupe, Jay Harrington, Oscar Nuñez, Maria Bamford (in small doses)...

I agree, which is why I'm shocked to say that if I had to watch one of the two new courtroom comedies, I'd probably opt for Bad Judge over Benched.

As I said, if I was forced.
Benched has an almost identical beginning as Jaime Pressly's "Jennifer Falls." Upwardly mobile woman snaps after getting screwed and is forced to settle for a job she feels is beneath her. Even if I hadn't seen it just a few weeks earlier, it is an old and tired premise.
