This show may have been before some people's time as it aired in the mid-80's to the early nineties. Night Court is a sitcom that features the night shift at the Manhattan Criminal Court Building. It was considered the launching pad of many actors' careers. I'm sure some of you know who Brent Spiner is? He's the guy who plays Data in Star Trek: TNG, he played a hick from West Virginia as shown here:

The thing is I think Night Court's okay, but an ex-girlfriend of mine adored it. There was no way I wasn't going to watch every episode. Same deal with I Dream of Jeannie. No, I'm not kidding. I've watched all of them. Luckily Babs Eden used to be a hottie.

  Night Court was a good sitcom. The best? Never. OK? You bet your ass. I was born in '81. This show was good for me as a  kid. That clip FrankCanada97 posted was what he was posting about. I watched that episode. Telling me that was Data, MIND BLOWN! The funny is inherent. For those who know. BULL, bitches!
 
 You are not my brother. The Mods sent you nothing?

Yeah, for me the first three or four seasons were great. But in the later seasons, things got a little unrealistic.

Wow, I never realized that was Data.  It was on TV when I got home from school as a kid, so I used to watch it with my parents.  Night Court was really funny.  Unfortunately, like just about every show on TV, it ran too long and became really bad towards the end.

I used to watch it, sure.  In fact, I watched Harry Anderson on SNL when he was doing stand up and crafting his image.  Later he had a reoccurring character on Cheers.  Anderson employed a lot of magic in his acts back then, so those aspects of his routine carried over to both his Cheers character and Judge Stone on Night Court.  
 
One of the things I remember most about the series was the comedic formula.  The show during its entire run was basically (1) the set up (2) the payoff.  Some one would say something like "Well, for the that to happen, rats would have to have taken over the cafeteria."  And then someone would burst in and say "Rats have taken over the cafeteria and are demanding more cheese!"  You could really see the jokes coming a mile off, especially as the series progressed.  
 
Another thing I remember are the two "Selmas" which were really Selma Diamond and Florence Halop but they looked and sounded so much alike, who could tell the difference.  Both died during the shows run and were replaced by "Roz."
 
In addition to Brent Spiner's frequent roles, and that of Mel Tormé , Yakov Smirnoff also found a recurring role on the show.

@PenguinDust: "No, no jail!!!" "No, no torture!!" "Noo!!!" Yakov's first episode was really funny.
