Why I do declare, it's Bob and June Wheeler!
I was SO happy to see the Wheelers back*. Brent Spiner and Annie O'Donnell stepped right back into their respective roles and they didn't miss a beat. Though I have to admit...I've seen enough of BS over the years to know what he looks like now, but when I first saw a promo for the Wheelers' return, I looked at AO'D and thought "who the heck is that old lady?" I had to remind myself that the original Night Court aired back in the mid-80s mostly (it premiered in 1984 and ended in 1992 <--thanks, Google!), and if the actress playing June was in her 30s then, she'd be somewhere in her late 60s, maybe 70s now so yeah, she's going to look older.
* I have to be honest here: I didn't care for the casting of Kate Micucci as a grown up Carol Ann. For some reason, I just wasn't buying the hick accent. I wonder if Melissa Rauch, who I believe is one of the executive producers of the reboot, plans on bringing all her Big Bang Theory pals over to her new show. We've already seen Kunal Nayyar as Abby's romantic interest.
Anyways...as much as I loved seeing the Wheelers again, I wish the entire episode was about them. I liked Abby wanting to get in touch with the famous psychic to contact her dad--it was sweet that, like Houdini with his wife, Harry gave Abby a secret message that could be used to prove there was an afterlife and psychics were real. I knew the psychic would be fake, I knew she'd tell Abby that her dad was proud of her, and I knew *somebody* would say the secret message, though I was thinking it'd be someone more random than Dan. However, I loved the last scene of the two of them on the couch, with Dan reassuring Abby that Harry was nearby; you could really tell in that scene that John Larroquette was thinking about, and missing, his former co-stars.
The B plot--Abby seeing people as either "red" or "green" was a little weird and kind of "meh", but I did love Wyatt being upset that he was a red when all the other reds seemed to be terrible people.
