Overview[]

In New York City, the law never sleeps and neither does the laughs either. Harold T. Stone is a rather eccentric and unorthodox judge who presides over some of the wackiest weirdos and zaniest loonies at night court. And then there are the defendants...

Night Court was a long-running American produced sitcom TV series starring Harry Anderson, John Larroquette, Richard Moll, Charles Robinson, Markie Post, and Marsha Warfield.

Night Court was a highly acclaimed and rated TV series during its original series run, winning multiple Emmy Awards. It was originally intended to be a vehicle for Harry Anderson who portrayed the main character, Judge Harry T. Stone. However, Night Court became best known for its breakout character of the outrageously lecherous Assistant D.A. Dan Fielding as portrayed by John Larroquette who won four consecutive Emmys from 1985 to 1988 for his performances.

The enduring popularity of the series has caused it to be shown as reruns even thought it was cancelled over three decades ago. A revival TV series, Night Court even debuted in 2023. This new series functions as a sequel to the original; featuring the daughter of the late Judge Harry Stone as the main character, mirroring the real world passing of Harry Anderson as the newly appointed night court judge. John Larroquette is also reprising his role as Dan Fielding who has shifted occupations and is now serving as the Public Defender.

Plot Summary[]

Season 1[]

It's the swing shift for Manhattan's Criminal Court from 4 pm to 12 midnight otherwise known as the "Night Court". And the dockets are filled with kooks and disorder! And then there's the biggest kook of them all: his name is Harry T. Stone. Judge Harry T. Stone.

With New York's Mayor on his way out of office, he makes a last few hasty appointments. Such as Judge Stone, the youngest Judge ever appointed in Manhattan who presides over an endless array of strange cases from the vagrant who thinks he's Santa Claus; to a sleazy beauty pageant organizer whose contestants want his head; and a ex-P.O.W. who has returned home and discovered that his wife has had him legally declared deceased and is now remarried and is determined to make her a widow by killing her new hubby!

His methods are unorthodox, his rulings are bizarre, and his attitude is completely irreverent but the court clerks, bailiffs, and lawyers at Night Court slowly come to understand and respect the unconventional wit and wisdom of Judge Stone. Most of the time at least.

Season 2[]

The turnover at Night Court has resulted in a new Court Clerk, Mac Robinson taking the stand and straight man to Judge Harry T. Stone while a new Public Defender, Billie Young takes on the role of defending the various kooks and weirdos before the bench's biggest cuckoo.

But Harry may very well be put to the test over the cases in the docket. His potential romantic relationship with Billie Young takes a disastrous turn when he is forced to sentence her for contempt of court and then Mac marries a young Vietnamese girl, Quon Le Duc in order to prevent her from being deported.

But Harry may have finally taken things too far when he is brought up on charges for his unorthodox behavior on the bench and finds himself being judged himself by his own peers.
