Torrin-McFinn77 I remember hearing the theme song in my early years and after watching Family Guy and while I knew it was familiar I had no idea from where it came. After watching some reruns on a digital TV channel I was hooked. Funny and entertaining cast, including Richard Moll (who later became a voice artist for both games and cartoons) who played the dense but cute bailiff Bull. If you haven't seen it, try it! Like Full House it had its roots in the 1980s and made the transition into the new decade which was the 1990s. And it didn't disappoint!

Blueghost The family often stated "that's exactly what court is like!" Said family member often went to court to bring the nation's malefactors to justice.The truth is this show is a sendup of some of the more ridiculous moments that happen in the lower ranks of the American justice system, but, on occasion, the script presented here, have a modicum of truth to them. We saw the rekindling of careers here as well the start of careers of many an actor. The show was funny from day one, and kept getting funnier, albeit zanier and wackier as well. To the point of where, even for a sitcom, one was hard pressed to suspend their disbelief.Mole was funny, Thelma was funny, Judge Stone was funny, Dan Fielding was funny, Mac, Christine, Roz, the whole cast was funny. There were of course the moral tropes to the show, but I guess if you do a show about Night Court you're going to get some kind of 4th act reflection on who did what, why and the social ramifications thereof.Is night court really like this? Well, if you're investigating all of the malefactors in the US, then perhaps maybe, but somehow I doubt it.Either way it was worth a few laughs. If you see it as a rerun of see the DVD set, then take a chance on it.

dimplet Night Court had some fine episodes, but Danny Got His Gun is not one of them, and it is not three of them, either. The three part series, "Night Court: Danny Got His Gun," trots out every stereotype imaginable and unimaginable, whether applicable to Eskimos, Aleuts, First Nation, Indian, Native American or whatever. This would be OK for a sitcom like Night Court, which is not legally bound by the constraints of reality or good taste, if they were funny. Which they are not. The acting on these three episodes is definitely sub par. John Larroquette seems to be phoning it in. Is this his punishment for asking for a raise: Kill off his character at the end of the season, then resurrect him if he capitulates, and make him act in a gawdawful script? So, in the end, he's alive and attends his own funeral, a cliché ever since Mark Twain invented the joke long before the invention of television. But the writers don't do anything clever or funny with this device.Dan Fielding meets a beautiful "Eskimo" in the frozen Arctic whose dream is to visit The Big Apple. Does Fielding bring her back with him? No, he does not. Now this would have been interesting, and potentially very funny. Heck, an Eskimo girlfriend in NYC could have had long running humor possibilities. But it would have required genuine creativity, something the series seemed to be running out of, rather than relying on cheap one-liners, like a cameo bikini bottom.Instead, what he does return to New York with is a seal, who has a crush on him. 6/10 for the series. This ain't MASH, but there are plenty of good to excellent episodes.The first two seasons are especially interesting for Selma Diamond, whose history goes way, way back, including writing for Sid Caesar's Caesar's Hour, but also radio and New Yorker cartoons before that! You need to read the Wikipedia entry to get it all, including that she was the inspiration for the Sally Rogers character on the Dick Van Dyke Show. And perhaps a character on The Simpsons named Selma? Or perhaps two characters: Patty and Selma Bouvier?. Look at the season one ender, Honey, I'm Home, and say Selma Diamond isn't The Simpson's Selma. Florence Halop did an amazing job of filling Selma's shoes when she died, at least until Florence died, both of lung cancer. The producers made a wise choice in Marsha Warfield to replace Florence. She is the female bailiff most viewers remember now.Of course, Night Court wouldn't have been anything without Harry Laverne Anderson.

fearfulofspiders With great humor, hilarious characters, convincing stories and drama, Night Court is the show I recommend to anyone who likes situation comedies, and characters the audience can relate to.From the cameos to some of the darker subject-matter, there's no denying that this is a great show. The acting is terrific all around; the main title music is catchy; the stories are involving and genius, making it well worth your time.All in all, I highly recommend this show. It's innocent and funny. See this where ever you can, which as recently, for citizens of the United States, it airs in the morning on TV Land.
