It is dated, and it is corny, but Night Court was brilliant situation comedy. It probably stayed on the air a little too long after the ideas started to run thin, but then we hated to see it go. I always remember how Harry Stone became a judge, he was the only person to answer the phone as the time limit for the governor to appoint a judge was running out. Sometimes it pays to stay home, listen to Mel Tormey and answer the phone.
Never got into that show. I wasn't a huge fan of Harry Anderson. But the few times I saw it loved the sarcastic Selma Diamond.
ReplyDeleteSelma was special

DeleteI enjoyed Night Court for a while. It’s interesting how dated it does seem now.

DeleteWhat if there was a reboot: Dan Fielding meets the Me Too Movement. Not pretty.
ReplyDeleteMost definitely he would get paybacks
DeleteI know it was broadcast here, and I watched it at times, but I have little memory of it. That is not unusual.
ReplyDeleteLess Australian TV makes it this way. One of our public broadcasting stations concentrates on BBC programs, and that station is starting to show some Australian TV. BBC America has gone from mostly BBC TV to mostly old movies that have a British actor in them. And Top Gear,
DeleteI always liked that show. It was stupid but funny as hell.
ReplyDeleteI have seen some lower courts, that operated almost that loosely.
DeleteI love starting the day with laughter. I loved that show when it was on.
ReplyDeleteThe golden days of network TV?
