This show had a lot of cast changes during its first one or two seasons. Then it settled into a groove until the last season where it just got very strange and then had one of the worst finale episodes ever. Still, it was funny as Harry Anderson as the judge, John Larroquette as Dan the womanizing D.A. and Richard Moll as the dense, but good hearted Bull the bailiff were like the only three cast members to be in the show during its entire run and were the best characters. Mac, played by Charles Robinson and Markie Post as the public defender would also settle in and do well. The show had its problems with the second bailiff during its early run losing two older actresses as I believed both passed away, they would finally go with someone different in the form of Marsha Warfield. The show was simply about a court that operates at night (duh), and at times some very crazy things happen, near the end these things would get a bit to crazy. However, for the most part the show was funny as I tend to gravitate towards shows that revolve around a job or place of business more so than to a show that is about a family. A good show that was really funny during the middle stretch, but it did have a hard time getting out of the gate initially and kind of stumbled near the end.
Review of Night Court
Night Court
(1984–1992)
Stumbled out of the gate, picked up some momentum and then faltered a bit near the end.
