Night Court

Night Court is an American television situation comedy that aired on NBC from January 1984 until May 1992. The setting was the night shift of a Manhattan court, presided over by the young, unorthodox Judge Harold T. “Harry” Stone (played by Harry Anderson). It was created by comedy writer Reinhold Weege, who had previously worked on Barney Miller in the 1970s and early 1980s.

   That was a pretty funny sitcom, but John Larroquette stole the show, if you’ll pardon the pun. He plays the role of a sleazeball so well, whether it’s on television or in a movie, LoL.

   Here’s some useless trivia:

   In the first seasons, the assistant DA was Billie, played by Ellen Foley. This was before Markie Post came on the show. Ellen Foley was also the original female singer on Meat Loaf’s “Bat Out of Hell” album. She originally sang on it, but couldn’t tour with Meat Loaf and left the band. She was replaced with Karla DeVito, who is the one you see in the videos, but Ellen Foley (“Billie” on Night Court) was the original female backup singer.

   Billie Young was not the original public defender. The first one was an African-American woman. I don’t know the actress or character name.

   Here’s another piece of useless trivia:

   Mac was the court clerk. Before him, there was a woman who was known for using pencils to tie up her hair. That actress was Freddie Murcury’s “girlfriend” for a while.
