It Was a Thing on TV: An Anthology on Forgotten Television: Episode 340--Sirota’s Court

Later this month, a long awaited reboot of Night Court will debut. In honor of the event, we are going back to a show which could be considered the inspiration for the original Night Court. Sirota's Court has a similar feel, but it only lasted several months in 1976 and 1977. There were reasons, including a controversial plot line and going up against the biggest miniseries ever.
