Nick at Nite Request: "Night Court"

[stevearino]

Dear Nick at Nite Viewer Services,

I have a proposal for Nick at Nite: in loving memory of Harry Anderson (who passed away last Monday at age 68), I suggest that Nick at Nite make a deal with Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution for Nick at Nite to have exclusive basic cable rights of the hit '80s sitcom "Night Court," showcasing all 193 episodes of this classic sitcom complete, uncut, and unedited, as originally broadcast on NBC.

Created by Reinhold Weege (Weege sounding like "Bee Gee"), "Night Court" originally aired on the NBC Television Network from January 4, 1984 - May 31, 1992 and starred Harry Anderson as Judge Harold T. Stone, a boyish, blue-jeaned judge appointed to New York City's Manhattan Night Court.

Initially airing Wednesday nights at 9 P.M. ET, "Night Court" midway through its debut season began airing in September 1984 on Thursday nights at 9 P.M. after "Cheers,"a timeslot where it would remain through the end of Season 4 in 1988, after which it aired for the next 2 years on Wednesday nights at 9 P.M., then on Friday nights at 9 for Season 7 and for its 8th and final season, the show aired Wednesday nights at 9 for the rest of its run.

Joining Harry in the "Night Court" series included John Larroquette as Reinhold Daniel "Dan" Fielding, the Sleazeball Prosecutor; Markie Post as Christine Sullivan, a Public Defender who joined the show at the start of the 2nd season; and Marsha Warfield as Roz Russell, the Court Matron, as well as Richard Moll as Bailiff Nostradomus "Bull" Shannon (I should clarify that Marsha Warfield succeeded Selma Diamond, who died of Lung Cancer in 1985 at age 64, as the Court Matron, and later Florence Halop as Florence Kleiner).

Tentatively, Nick at Nite shall welcome "Night Court" to its regular lineup on July 2, 2018 with a week-long marathon titled "Nick at Nite Court," showcasing 40 of the most memorable episodes of "Night Court" ever made, with the marathon dedicated in loving memory of Harry Anderson.

After the week-long event (10 episodes per night over 4 nights), Nick at Nite shall add "Night Court" to its regular lineup weeknights from 10-11 P.M. after "Nick at Nite Movie Night" starting July 6, 2018 and Saturdays & Sundays from 9-11 P.M. (Sundays 8-11 P.M.) only on Nick at Nite.

Sincerely,
Steve Arino

Not a bad proposal, stevearino! I'd rather watch a two-hour block of "Night Court" every night on Nick At Nite than sit through a mini-marathon of "Full House," "George Lopez," or (God forbid) "Friends" anyday! Good luck with your proposal, bro!

Definitely! I strongly dislike heavily-edited-for-syndication prints of long-running television programs! At least the DVDs are uncut and unedited (as far as I know; I only own the first three seasons of "Night Court")!

And while I'm on the subject, TV Land (a sister cable network to Nick At Nite) aired "Night Court" from 2005 to 2008.

Thanks for commenting, Mikaela!

I have all of the TV Land airings on my computer.
