I Want Night Court On DVD!
With practically every show ever made being released on DVD, where may I ask, is the comedy series Night Court?
Night Court was one of the most brilliant, overlooked sitcoms of the '80s. Its stellar cast portrayed some of TV's most memorable characters, from the quirky prankster Judge Harry Stone, to the overly simplistic Bailiff Bull Shannon, to the beloved womanizer Dan Fielding. Storylines were always original, and no doubt, had an influence on later zany shows like Ally McBeal.
What I've always loved most about Night Court though, was how well it captured the mood and ambience of New York City. I don't know whether it was the stale courtroom, the range of social litigants, or the opening street shots of every episode, but Night Court just "got it." To this day, I credit that show with influencing my affinity for the Big Apple.
So whoever owns the rights to this show - which is not even shown in syndication anymore - I'm begging you, please release Night Court on DVD!

Not only was the show brilliant, but the theme song was awesome! When the trumpets kicked in...{sigh}...just the thought of it brings a tear to my eye.
