#42: Night Court (1984-1992)

E!’s documentary described Night Court as a hilarious collision of justice and chaos, where the courtroom was anything but ordinary. For nine seasons, the show captivated audiences with its eccentric mix of characters, including a young, magic-loving judge, Harry Stone, and an unapologetically sleazy prosecutor, Dan Fielding.

Set during the night shift of a Manhattan municipal court, the series thrived on outrageous cases, sharp comedy, and unexpected heart. Its offbeat charm and unforgettable ensemble made it a standout in ’80s and early ’90s television, earning a devoted fanbase and critical acclaim during its long and entertaining run.
