This episode wasn't painful to watch as it is fiction. It also makes fun of child actors who act like spoiled brats and they DO exist believe it or not. I found the episode funny and found nothing wrong with it. I wouldn't exploit any child of mine, but some parents unfortunately do. Besides, we have had a lot of great child actors in our time. Night Court never ceases to be funny with it's humor. They may be trying to redo this show, but it doesn't fly with me. There will only be one Night Court, and that is the original one. Nothing will ever compare.

Oh and one more thing...this episode wasn't an '80s era anything as it aired in 1991.

The episode was painful to watch. Who is like that child parodied in that episode? That weird, '80s era media image of a spoiled child actor was clearly cooked up by some creep who retreats into fantasy any time confronted with the reality that those children are, most likely than not, overworked, dragged from pointless interview to interview, and publicly humiliated in front of their friends, despite it being, in many cases, not their dream to be an actor but to be free from people who are trying to force them to be actors. That whole portrayal just made me wince, and think only about child abuse. It clearly written by a typical Hollywood narcissist who refuses to believe they are exploiting the children working for them. I should know. I did enough child acting work to qualify me for AFTRA before someone in the industry had a conversation with my family about making kids perform against their will. And that "can you talk like a normal person?" line the kid made? I was driven to say that once or twice when talked to in baby talk one to many times when I was in the opening stages of puberty, and I don't regret it.
