The canned laughter should go. I feel that the spirit of the original is written in. I've only seen the first two episodes and they seem to be keeping to the tone of the depth of cast storylines out of court and how their quirks interact. Making Dan switch teams will highlight what we enjoyed about his personality 35 years ago as he tries to become the opposite. (Final season of old series he (edit) 'managed' a charity in the name of Phil: his lackey, so he was softening back then). The writing into the clerk, baliff sharply played by Lacretta and the stenographer right away give a watcher some build up for what is coming next. And they've matched the old gallery humor well. I hope by mid season they aren't as reliant on "Harry also did that" jokes following pratfalls though. I look forward to episode 3.
