Night Court (Seasons 1–9)

Night Court (1984–1992) is the NBC sitcom you can watch online on iFILM, set during the graveyard shift of a Manhattan courtroom. Presiding over the madness is Harry T. Stone, the city's youngest judge — an amateur magician and Mel Tormé devotee who treats the bench with far less solemnity than the law expects.

A parade of bizarre cases and stranger people files through his court each night. Smug, perpetually broke prosecutor Dan Fielding (John Larroquette) thinks he deserves better; gentle giant bailiff Bull is sweet to the point of childlike; the clerks and public defenders cause as much chaos as the defendants ever do. Harry Anderson holds the whole ensemble together across nine seasons.

Built in the golden age of studio-audience sitcoms, the show runs on absurdity and the charm of its cast — Larroquette alone won four straight Emmys as Fielding. The comedy is warm, goofy and unmistakably 1980s, perfect for anyone after an easy late-night watch with no heavy stakes. Stream every season of Night Court online on iFILM.
