DMann2003 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2005 My favorite sitcom growing up is in the middle of a 48 MARATHON on TV Land right now. That's 96 episodes and I'm DVR'ing every one of them. The show's gonna settle into an 11:30 timeslot starting Monday's. I'm so happy the show's back on cable. Dan Fielding's the man!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted August 13, 2005 I love the show, but I'm not going to watch much of this marathon. With it having a spot on the regular schedule, I'll be watching it alot. Marathon plus watching it on a regular basis can lead to being burnt out on repeats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2005 Its weird watching this show now. This show was probably responsible for the "squeeze as many dirty jokes as you can into 30 minutes" genre that later spawned "Married with Children" and "Friends", but it all seems pretty pedestrian now. Nonetheless, Dan Fielding was TV's original sitcom pimp. Still, Markie Post's inherent hotness was severely under-utilized. Despite her awesome (at the time) body, they managed to bury her under 3 layers of ugly fashions and 4 gallons of hairspray each week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2005 Anybody know what the deal was with the multiple cast changes the first season? I understand the bailiffs kept dying, but weren't there about a few dozen defense attorneys before they finally settled on Markie Post. (I actually kind of liked Billie.)

Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2005 Probably had something to do with unhappy actors or writers not able to get a handle on their characters. I agree with the person who stated that they buried Markie Post under too much makeup and bad fashion. She was a fine lady. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted August 14, 2005 It was the 80's, and that was how professional women looked in that terrible fashion era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dale Earnhardt Report post Posted August 14, 2005 They did do one flashback episode where they showed Christine in a beauty pageant. It's probably the only episode where you could actually see a little of skin from her but there you go. I love Night Court, it was my favorite show growing up. I wasn't a big fan of the pre-Christine episodes so I'll have to wait for TV Land to reach those episodes when it becomes a regular fixture tomorrow night.

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 Didn't Clinton nail Markie Post? The Show itself does nothing for me. I find it to be one of the most unfunny and horrible sitcoms in tv history. I said all this yet, have watched enough of the marathon to know that in two episodes they had a huge case load. In one episode, the final case involved a guy who was took 10 minutes to put together a sentence, and the other involved the turtle man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd really like to see a Night Court Reunion special just to see how the whole cast is doing because with the exception of Richard Moll, none of them have done anything recently.

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2005 Laroquette *should* have been on NewsRadio after Hartman died. And continuing the NewsRadio connections, Stephen Root (Jimmy James) appeared in an episode of Night Court. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuck415 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2005 There was an episode of Night Court whereDan saved Christine's life and to pay him back she was going to have sex with him. She wore some lingerie in that ep if I remember correctly. Quite the old school hottie. BTW what the fuck has Richard Moll been in lately? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dale Earnhardt Report post Posted August 17, 2005 I remember seeing him in a Nickelodeon show and some homosexual movie. Both of which while I was flipping through channels all within the last 5 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darthtiki 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2005 Markie Post did Harts Afire after Night Court, which was a tremendously funny show even if a lot of the jokes were directed at people of my political persuasion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2005 Richard Moll also played Two-Face on Batman the Animated Series. Quick question though did Moll play one of the Kryptonian prisoners from Sperman II? I thought one of the villians looked like him but I wasn't sure. Laroquette on NewsRadio would have been great, except that he had his own show on NBC at the same time.
