You cannot get any more funnier than Night Court ! Harry Stone and his crew of legal eagles at Manhattan Criminal Court Part 2 really took everyone by surprise every Thursday night. There was always something going on in that court room. The accused ran the gamut of society. Hookers, Weirdos, Transients, The Pope, and Wiley Coyote. Star Trek Conventioners were all dragged in for starting a fight on which generation was best and finally a ghost of a falsely accused man was actually brought on trial.
There was no limit as to what could and usually did happen on Night Court. NBC and Reinhold Weege made magic with this show. Too darned bad Warner Bros. only released two full seasons of the show on DVD. I just wonder why they just didn't clean up all the episodes and put them in one big box set and call it "The Complete Docket" ? This show made me have some respect for the law but with a laughable point of view. Whenever I have been in a real court room I still expect to see Bull come out and say his usual line "All Rise, Manhattan Criminal Court Part 2 is now in session. The Honorable Harold T. Stone presiding." Then see him go stand next to Rozz who was his fiery assistant Bailiff who kept the peace with her fists and her street smart mouth.
Dan Fielding had to be the most sexist pig of an Assistant D.A. who if not chasing down the hookers he sent to jail for sex favors was after Christine Sullivan when she came on the scene as the new longest lasting public defender.
Art The Janitor, poor soul, was always having to fix something in the building which was by that time a century or more old. His worst problem came with the infestation of roaches.
Buddy who is Harry's biological dad became a somewhat welcome edition to Night Court. He was crazy once but he's "Feeling a lot better now".
Charles "Mac" Robinson who's job was to call the next case always did so by feeding into Judge Harry's goof ball style. He married a girl he met in Vietnam as a soldier named Quan Li.
9 full seasons and a devoted fan base keep Night Court going well into the 21st Century. Who knows maybe after this mini reunion on 30 Rock NBC will get on the ball and do a full blown Night Court Reunion Movie of the Week. It is about time we the fans were given our return to the craziest court room in America.
