My favorite judge of all time.
Dang. Loved his character. He was also a good magician.
Short list will be announced tomorrow.
One of the best court/cop shows of the 70s/80s along with Barney Miller, Hill Street Blues and Police Story.
This was very sad news. I don't own a lot of DVDs but I have every season of Night Court. Absolutely loved it.
best part about Night Court was the same characters we saw on the show we saw in real life in the courthouse
