This new incarnation of Night Court started off with very good ratings but the numbers have dropped quite a bit since then. Still, NBC has very few other sitcoms. Will the numbers improve? Will Night Court be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned.
A workplace comedy series, the Night Court TV show stars Melissa Rauch, Lacretta, Wendie Malick, Nyambi Nyambi, and John Larroquette. The new story follows Abracadabra “Abby” Stone (Rauch), a judge following in the footsteps of her revered late father, Judge Harry Stone (Harry Anderson). She takes on the challenge of overseeing the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court, just as he did. To bring order and dignity to the court, she enlists former night court district attorney Dan Fielding (Larroquette) to serve as the court’s public defender. Others on the court team include new prosecutor Julianne Walters (Malick), a reformed convict and former love interest of Dan; court clerk Wyatt Shaw (Nyambi), a jack of all trades, devoted single dad, and law student; and Donna “Gurgs” Gurganous (Lacretta), the sharp-witted bailiff.

What do you think? Do you like the Night Court TV series on NBC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
Tons of talent and horrible writing. They need a whole new writing staff to save this show. Are they’re using AI to write the script? So much potential.
Off to a horrible start. Not funny. This needs cancelled.
