I remember this comedy from the 1980's it was one that was crazy and far out with jokes and laughs not your typical court like drama! It was a hit for "NBC" I now catch reruns on digital channels. It featured Harry Anderson as the star as he was the head judge of the court and he always had humor with his co workers to help get thru the cases and work and life! Richard Moll also provided plenty of good laughs and plenty of guest stars would come on the show and most of all in a sexy and elegant way Markie Post provided sex appeal as a smart and clever attorney. Overall this was one little good series to watch for laughs as it did not take things or life or cases of drama to serious! Now all rise for some fun laughs and joy!

I remember this show from when I was little, watching it with my mom, dad, sisters and brother. All of us liked it a lot and laughed a lot but I wondered if I would actually enjoy it today if I watched it again, but when I did it actually holds up.Harry Anderson stars as a wacky "night court" judge, stuck on the graveyard shift at a New York City courtroom. He's silly, tells a lot of bad "dad jokes" and does a lot of magic tricks (in real life he is a comedy magician, which he also had showed off in his guest roles on another great eighties sitcom, Cheers). So at first obviously he is dismissed as a goof but he's also actually got a lot of heart and wisdom and knowledge of the law, which is why he got to be a judge so young (and when he's so goofy) in the first place.The defense attorney is a bleeding heart and very attractive young lady, who becomes Harry's romantic interest but also is the target of the lecherous, selfish, stop at nothing to win, heartless D.A. Dan Fielding, played by the hilarious John Larroquette who won many awards for this role. All of these characters are still likable and hold up today, as well as Mac the no nonsense court manager, the gigantic, dopey bald bailiff Bull (Richard Moll), and a succession of female bailiffs (two older, gruff talking, smoking bailiffs actually passed away in real life, and then Roz, the sassy black lady who takes no nonsense from anyone, particularly Dan). The supporting characters are also fantastic. Whoever cast this show, I hope they won a lot of awards.The writing also holds up with a lot of great jokes. You can kind of tell where most of the stories are going, just like with any older sitcom, but it's still a lot of fun to get there when the characters are this likable and the jokes are still funny.

I have never seen another show that made me laugh virtually every 30 seconds. Every character in Night Court is hilarious in their own individuality! Even an occasional character I don't like still makes me laugh! I suggest you find this show on the Encore network (no advertising makes watching the show even funnier because you are not stressed by boring foolish advertising). This show is not appropriate for young children, so watch it while they are asleep and enjoy all the adult comedy involved without worrying about toning down the volume occasionally. If you don't think this show is hilarious you should probably look for Napoleon Dynamite which would match your lack of humor! Watch Night Court and laugh so hard you might cry!!!

This show was really a funny sitcom. Harry Anderson led an extremely talented cast. It's setting, the night court in New York City Richard Moll was great as Bull Shannon, court clerk. Harry was Judge Harry T Stone. John Larouquette was the DA whose sex machine designs on Markie post made things go.There was the deadpan comedy of Selma Diamond & when she died her replacement Marsha Warfield didn't skip a beat. Some great guest stars livened up the series too including John Astin as Harry's Dad Buddy.The writing was very good on this show & with the talented cast it couldn't help but be a very good show for quite a few bright years on NBC.
