  Hi all. I was wondering if you guys can help me out with some Night Court trivia! I am editing for Brandon Tartikoff and found that IMDB has him listed as guest starring under the name B.Donald Tartikoff in the 1987 episode, "A Day In The Life." My problem is that his middle name is not Donald... so I am wondering if there is some inside joke here, or if it is even true. Can anyone shed light on this for me? It would be much appreciated! Thanks so much. less «

  8 Great

  One of the best of its kind. hide « show »

  Along with Barney Miller and MASH, Night Court was the last of what I considered to be the truly great sitcoms on TV. Nothing lately even comes close because now comedy is so intent on being low-brow, its forgotten how to be smart...or that smart is actually funnier than base humour.
  I loved "Bull"; what a golden TV character Richard Moll molded! Bull and "Selma" Diamond together were just magic. Some great poignant moments in that story line as well.
  Of course, John Laroquette practically invented the male jerk I think! He was brilliant, and he and Markie Post played off each other really well.
  I'm reminiscing again and should just move on I know, but I do truly believe...today's comedy doesn't hold a candle...

  Classic! hide « show »

  Night Court was an amazing show and a true classic that is still remembered today and for good reason. I recently watched season one on DVD and was surprised admittedly that it has held up so well, so many of my other old faves just don't hold water today with jokes seeming outdated and unfunny, but this show is still great today. I think the big reason for this is the characters, everything is based on the characters and those characters are so strong. Harry Stone was great and who can forget John Larroquette's Dan Fielding? Bull was awesome and like Cheers this show survived several replacement characters (the female bailiff was recast at least three times due to deaths etc) because they all worked so well. Check out this show if you haven't before because it's great, the jokes are still funny and the story lines are still relevant and surprisingly often as touching as they are funny.

  This show with it's one liners kept me cracking up! hide « show »

  If there is a show that I miss besides Beauty and the Beast it is Night Court. I watch every epi when they repeat on TV and still laugh my buns off. Harry, the magician, always kept people laughing. It was with a cool hand that he handed down sentences. There was always a tidbit of advice as he let the person go. The one liners, the gags, the ladies that drove Dan crazy, the time they intoduced computers to the court and Mac was trying to take a baseball bat to his computer, Bull and his tenderness, Christine prim and proper and Roz, the enforcer. I miss the two older baliffs before Roz but I still loved Roz. This is when comedy was all that and more. I miss shows like this. A 10 all the way.

  A show that defined modern comedy. hide « show »

  Night Court was a classic. It took the one of the bleakest situations: a late night court room in New York City and spoofed it to no end. My favorite moment was when Harry tried Wile E. Coyote from the Bugs Bunny show. The funny thing about Night Court was it took the traditional sitcom path backwards. Most sitcoms start out with a cast that's there for several years then some leave and new people are brought in. All of the cast changes occured within the first few years of the show leaving only Harry Anderson (Harry) John Larroquette (Dan) and Richard Moll (Bull) to stay the course of the entire show. However by the fourth season a cast was firmly in place that remained for the rest of the show.

  Hilarious! hide « show »

  This show is a hilarious show to watch and it is my favorite show when it is summer time and really late at night. For me, Night Court makes me laugh for almost every episode.
  
  The actors are perfect, and the plots are flawless. The characters are fabulous. I would highly recommend Night Court to anyone is feels like they could use a good half hour of laughs and funny lines. The overall concept of the show is great. The characters each have their own personality and they can act exteremly well.
  
  Night Court is a great show to watch for all!
