Night Court

Night Court was a situation comedy that aired on NBC from January 1984 until May 1992. The show focused on the nutty antics during the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment courtoom, presided over by the young, unorthodox Judge Harold T. Stone (as played by Harry Anderson) and his cast of loonies.

It was created by comedy writer Reinhold Weege, who had previously worked on award-winning and wry series Barney Miller in the 1970s and early 1980s. Some who began watching Night Court at its premiere were expecting a similar program, especially since they both began with a catchy bass line and featured law-enforcement personnel in New York City, but Night Court was a distinctly sillier show with less well-developed characters. The first season was released on DVD in the spring of 2005. Cable network TV Land began airing Night Court in August 2005.
