Night Court: The Complete Third Season



So glad this didn't wind up in the Warner Archives
Seasons one and two of Night Court were good, but season three begins some of the best years of the show with Markie Post joining the cast as Christine, the public defender and Florence Halop replacing Selma Diamond as one of the two bailiffs - Selma died during the summer of 1985. Christine filled what was really missing from the bill that former public defender Billy just never could deliver. Christine is who we always knew was Harry's soulmate, a fact the two of them dance around for the entire duration of the series. Beautiful, compassionate, and somewhat naive, she also makes the perfect target for Dan Fielding's leachery. Harry's soulmate was something Billy just never convinced me she could be, and she simply wasn't the type to attract Dan Fielding.

This season also marks a full turn away from the "Barney Miller" style of the first two seasons as the show turns into full scale mayhem with a courtroom as just an incidental backdrop for the parade of human oddities...

Please, please release all seasons!
Love this show! They need to release all the seasons. Even if they don't include a bunch of extras!

How Long
Well after seeing how long it took the wise people to get season 2 out after Amazon had a listing for it but no date, let us all hope they are MUCH faster this time. This is a great show, simple jokes that can make anyone laugh.
