Honorable Judge Harry T. Stone is a young, hip, jeans-wearing liberal eccentric presiding over the night shift of a Manhattan courtroom -- which means his views on various cases aren't always normal, nor are his judgments. Helping him manage the chaos is not-so-bright yet softhearted courtroom guard Bull and egotistical prosecutor Dan Fielding. Also part of Stone's crew are passionate public defender Christine Sullivan and calm court clerk Mac, who joined the show in its third and second seasons, respectively.

Mike Duffy Detroit Free Press 06/15/2021
Chemistry and casting are king. Led by the lanky, affable Anderson, the Night Court crew fits together nicely. They are fun to watch. Go to Full Review Ed Siegel Boston Globe 06/15/2021
It's definitely the weakest of NBC's Thursday-night lineup. The writing is barely better than mediocre, and the physical humor is usually predictable. Go to Full Review George Russell PopMatters 03/08/2019

dave d @RT34924333 Jun 22 A show that hits a level that it won't relinquish for several years. The show that launched 1,000 ships for John Larroquette. See more 08/29/2018 Season 3 of Night Court begins on a bit of a sad note as it deals with the passing of Selma Diamond. But, the shenanigans quickly pick back up again with Dan becoming a male escort to fix his money problems, Mac and Quon Le buying a restaurant, and Harry becoming a foster parent to a troubled youth. Two new cast members join the show, with Florence Halop replacing Selma as the new bailiff and Markie Post reprising her character from last season as the new DA. Additionally, an impressive list of guest stars are on the docket, including Brent Spiner, Robert Englund, Anne Ramsey, Pam Grier, and the Velvet Fog himself, mister Mel Torme. Unfortunately the show gets a little peachy at times in its addressing of social/cultural issues, but for the most part the tone stays lighthearted and fun. While it has its ups and downs, Night Court delivers a solid third season. See more Read all reviews
