A month after NBC canceled its Night Court revival following three seasons, Melissa Rauch is bidding farewell to the show.

The star and executive producer recently shared a heartfelt statement about the end of the sitcom after trying “everything in our power” to save the revival of the 1984-’92 show, which premiered in 2023.

“I have held off on posting anything about Night Court not continuing until I knew we did everything in our power to find another home for it,” she wrote on Instagram. “Perhaps it was being raised on The Goonies ‘Never Say Die’ motto or straight up denial that I didn’t want this incredibly special experience to come to an end. That said, after turning over all the stones there were to be turned over, we’ve learned that it is officially the hour to say ‘farewell.’ Or at least ‘Until next time.'”

Rauch continued, “Words...

Things were looking grim for the Melissa Rauch-led Night Court reboot at NBC following its cancellation after three seasons. Despite hopes from the team that the sitcom could find a new home for courtroom hijinks by shopping the series, initial reports from TV Line revealed that nobody was biting on bringing back Judge Abby Stone and her staff for another run. Now, Rauch has delivered the show its sentence. In a recent post on Instagram, she finally addressed the show's end and revealed that, despite the best efforts of everyone involved, the Manhattan municipal court will be remaining closed.

"I have held off on posting anything about Night Court not continuing until I knew we did everything in our power to find another home for it," Rauch said to open her post. As a longtime fan of the original Reinhold Weege series starring Harry Anderson, the reboot was a...

It's official: the new Night Court is finished. After three seasons, NBC canceled the show, but fans were hoping that it could potentially be picked up elsewhere for a Season 4. Those efforts have since been exhausted with no other place to go, as series star Melissa Rauch shared in an emotional post on social media.

"I have held off on posting anything about Night Court not continuing until I knew we did everything in our power to find another home for it," Rauch began on Instagram, including a slideshow of different images taken from behind the scenes on the set. "Perhaps it was being raised on The Goonies 'Never Say Die' motto or straight up denial that I didn’t want this incredibly special experience to come to an end. That said, after turning over all the stones there were to be turned over, we’ve learned that it is...

“Night Court” star Melissa Rauch has spoken out about the cancellation of the NBC sitcom after three seasons, writing on Instagram, “We did everything in our power to find another home for it.”

“Perhaps it was being raised on The Goonies ‘Never Say Die’ motto or straight up denial that I didn’t want this incredibly special experience to come to an end. That said, after turning over all the stones there were to be turned over, we’ve learned that it is officially the hour to say ‘farewell.’ Or at least ‘Until next time,'” Rauch wrote in a lengthy caption accompanied by a montage of photos from the “Night Court” set.

Rauch was the star and executive producer of the series, a follow-up to the beloved 1980s sitcom that ran for nine seasons on NBC. Upon news of the series’ cancellation in May, sources told Variety that Warner Bros. Television...

Melissa Rauch officially bid farewell to “Night Court” on Wednesday, breaking the news that the reboot series was unable to find another home after its cancellation at NBC.

“I have held off on posting anything about ‘Night Court’ not continuing until I knew we did everything in our power to find another home for it,” Rauch said in a Wednesday Instagram post, adding that the Goonies “Never Say Die” motto or “straight up denial” led her to hope the “incredibly special experience” wouldn’t be coming to an end.

“That said, after turning over all the stones there were to be turned over, we’ve learned that it is officially the hour to say ‘farewell.’ Or at least ‘Until next time,'” Rauch continued.

The news comes just over a month after NBC opted not to renew “Night Court” for the upcoming 2025-26 broadcast season, canceling the sitcom after three...

Some six weeks after NBC handed down its verdict to not renew its Night Court revival for a fourth season, series co-lead and executive producer Melissa Rauch has shared her thoughts on hanging up Judge Abby Stone’s robe.

As TVLine’s Inside Line column reported earlier this month, early efforts to shop the sitcom revival had come up empty. As such, the eventual outlook was not looking great. And now it is official.

We will update this article throughout the season, along with all our predictions, so make sure to keep checking IndieWire for the latest news from the 2025 Emmys race. The nomination round of voting takes place from June 12 to June 23, with the official Emmy nominations announced Tuesday, July 15. Afterwards, final voting commences on August 18 and ends the night of August 27. The 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, September 14, and air live on CBS at 8:00 p.m. Et/ 5:00 p.m. Pt.

The State of the Race

Oddly enough, the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy race is a bit dependent on how many voters watched “Shrinking” on Apple TV+. No one made the cut in this category for Season 1, including Harrison Ford, but many Emmy prognosticators have him, Michael Urie, Brett Goldstein, and even Ted McGinley all in the mix for an Emmy nomination.

For your consideration… or not.

Earlier this month, Alexis Bledel withdrew herself from Emmy consideration due to a rule change. The actress, who won Best Drama Guest Actress in 2017 for The Handmaid's Tale, made an appearance in the show's series finale, but the new rule prohibits her from competing in guest for the same show because of her prior 2018 nomination in supporting. Instead of submitting in supporting, Bledel took herself out entirely. And she's far from the first star to do so.

Here are seven other times actors voluntarily bowed out of the Emmy race.

John Larroquette, Night Court

Larroquette dominated Best Comedy Supporting Actor in the '80s, winning the category four years in a row from 1985 to 1988 for his turn as Dan Fielding. And then he decided four was enough, withdrawing his name in 1989, three years before Night Court ended. "As we got to that fifth season, I...

Well, it looks like the gavel has come down on Night Court, and this time, there’s no appeal. Yep, NBC’s revival of the beloved ‘80s courtroom comedy brought back all the quirky charm, fast-paced humor, and of course, John Larroquette as the ever-sarcastic Dan Fielding. Definitely, it had everything, from nostalgia, eccentric defendants, awkward flirtations, to bailiffs who knew how to throw side-eyes.

For three seasons, Night Court gave us throwback laughs with a modern twist. Sadly, just when we started to feel like the courtroom was back in session for good, NBC shut the door right to our faces. Yup, the revival has officially been canceled after season 3, leaving us with courtroom chaos wondering what went wrong. Of course, it had its loyal audience and a strong start, but unfortunately, the show struggled to hold its case in NBC’s primetime lineup. So, guys, the court is adjourned and for good.

NBC’s Night Court revival brought a fresh comedic spark to prime time with its quirky courtroom antics, offbeat characters, and nostalgic nods to the original 1984 classic. Starring Melissa Rauch as Judge Abby Stone—daughter of the late Judge Harry Stone—the show balanced zany humor with heartwarming moments, winning over longtime fans and new viewers alike. After a successful three-season run and decent viewership, fans were hopeful for a fourth. However, the gavel has dropped on Night Court for good—NBC has officially canceled the series, and while there was a brief effort to shop it around for a season 4, things aren’t looking promising for a return. Here’s a full breakdown of what we know.

Will there be a Night Court Season 4?

NBC’s revival of Night Court delivered three seasons of light-hearted legal hijinks, nostalgic callbacks, and charming performances, especially from Melissa Rauch as Judge Abby Stone...

The 2024-2025 TV season has ended, and now audience members can look forward to networks throwing up new shows and brand-new seasons of their favorite ones. However, prior to the network shows taking a break, several shows were axed. Over at NBC, in early May, the verdict came in regarding the network's courtroom comedy, Night Court. Starring Melissa Rauch as Judge Abby Stone, it was announced that the show, which is a reboot of the classic Reinhold Weege sitcom, will not be returning for a fourth season. With NBC locking up the gates of the courthouse, will we see the comedy continue elsewhere?

While we Night Court fans might be hoping that NBC might be willing to shop the comedy series out, recent reports don't offer much hope. Per TV Line, "early efforts to shop the sitcom revival have thus far come up empty," the report says in part, adding,...

The chances of Night Courtseason 4 getting saved get a disappointing update. Debuting on NBC in January 2023, with Dan Rubin as showrunner, the reboot of the popular 1980s sitcom is headlined by The Big Bang Theory alum Melissa Rauch as Abby Stone. The daughter of the late Harry Stone, Abby soon links up with original Night Court character Dan Fielding (John Larroquette). Although the comedy got off to a strong start, ratings dropped sharply soon after its high-profile premiere. The reboot was cancelled in May after three seasons.

It had been mentioned that Warner Bros. Television, one of the production companies behind the reboot, would shop the series to other potential platforms after it was axed by NBC. But in an update from TVLine, it's mentioned that the chances of Night Court season 4 happening are “not great”:

Early efforts to shop the sitcom revival, which was cancelled after three seasons on NBC,...

Music always plays a large role at the annual TV upfronts, as media buyers, journalists, execs and other attendees are ushered in and out of these showcases to loud playlists — often spun by celebrity DJs. But this year, one number heard throughout the week came with a hefty dose of irony: Doechii’s popular track “Anxiety.”

In the song, Doechii sings about how her anxiety “keep on trying me / My anxiety, can’t shake it off of me.” Perhaps a bit too on the nose for the media congloms to be piping into Radio City Music Hall, the Hammerstein Ballroom and other upfronts venues. After all, no matter how hard media execs try to spin that things are fine — that’s hardly the case: Production is down, budgets keep getting slashed and studios like Paramount Global (still awaiting news on its Skydance merger) continue to be the subject of speculation about their ultimate survival.

George Wendt, who bellied up to the bar to portray the beer-quaffing everyman Norm Peterson for all 11 seasons of the fabled NBC sitcom Cheers, has died. He was 77.

Wendt died peacefully in his sleep at home, his family confirmed early Tuesday morning.

“George was a doting family man, a well-loved friend and confidant to all of those lucky enough to have known him,” a rep for Wendt said in a statement. “He will be missed forever. The family has requested privacy during this time.”

Born in Chicago and raised on the South Side, Wendt got his start in the 1970s with Second City, the famed improvisational comedy troupe that was based in his hometown.

Later, he popped up on Saturday Night Live as Bob Swerski, one of the “superfans” who gathered at Coach Mike Ditka’s restaurant in the Windy City to watch “Da Bears.”

Wendt appeared in movies including...

The premise of the 2015 HBO series "The Brink" seems ripe for comedic potential and salient political satire. Among the show's main characters are the ultra-horny United States Secretary of State Walter Larson (Tim Robbins), and Alex Talbot (oft-underrated blockbuster champ Jack Black) a random Foreign Service officer who is assigned to Islamabad as it stands on the brink of a nuclear crisis. It seems a local radical has taken it upon himself to declare World War III has officially begun, and the story follows that revelation as Larson and Talbot incompetently oversee the matter. The show also stars Aasif Mandvi, Pablo Schreiber, John Larroquette, and Esai Morales as the U.S. President.

Robbins and Black had worked together on several occasions before "The Brink," usually on political projects that satirized or lambasted restrictive and corrupt American institutions. Black appeared in Robbins' films "Bob Roberts" (which marked Black's feature debut), "Dead Man Walking,...

Despite ending its third season on a cliffhanger, Night Courtwill not see a fourth season as NBC recently canceled the reboot of the popular 1980s sitcom. One of the original Night Court stars, Marsha Warfield, who played Rosalind “Roz” Russell in the series from 1986 to 1992, took to the social media site Threads to express her thoughts on the reboot being canceled.

Warfield, who reprised her Roz role in the new series, stated via Threads, “I’m so sorry to hear this! To John Larroquette, I have enjoyed every moment of working with you, and if fates allow, let's do it again sometime! To [Melissa Rauch] meeting you and watching you revive a cherished memory and give it new life has been inspirational. May you continue to dream and shine! [Lacretta], gurrll, don't you ever stop being amazing! And to all...

The crazy courtroom won't be back for the 2025-26 TV season. NBC has cancelled Night Court and any plans for a fourth season. The show's third season, which aired 18 episodes, ended on a cliffhanger on Tuesday.

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...

Nostalgia is not, inherently, a bad thing. Classic films like Federico Fellini's "L'Avventura," George Lucas' "American Graffiti," and Richard Linklater's "Dazed and Confused" pine away for carefree youth, but they're also careful to acknowledge that the end of the party is on the horizon. Those tales are told from a place of melancholy remove. To quote Thomas Wolfe, "Going back home is a real boneheaded idea."

But in our glutted age of entertainment, where the competition for eyeballs is fierce, the old-school networks believe that one of their programming strengths is viewers' wistfulness for a simpler time, when there were three or four major broadcast entities providing the lion's share of original content. ABC, NBC, CBS and the 1980s party crasher Fox have their work cut out for them in 2025. They're held to conservative content standards and archaic scheduling strictures. Decades ago, they still had an edge because...

NBC is cleaning house ahead of its 2025 Upfront presentation on Monday, and the casualties are already piling up.

The network has canceled multiple series in one fell swoop, with Night Court, Lopez vs Lopez, The Irrational, Found, and Suits: LA all officially off the schedule. And with the day still young, there’s reason to believe more are coming.

Let’s break down what’s been cut — and what that says about where NBC is headed next season.

Night Court (Canceled After Three Seasons) (Nicole Weingart/NBC)

The revival of the beloved 1980s sitcom came in hot back in 2023, debuting to strong numbers and plenty of nostalgic goodwill.

Melissa Rauch stepped into the lead role as Judge Abby Stone, with John Larroquette reprising his Emmy-winning role as Dan Fielding. But after three seasons, NBC has called it a day.

Twd: Dead City Season 2 Episode 2 Is a Bombastic Mad Max-Esque Hour...

After sentencing several TV series to cancellation, NBC is bringing the gavel down on them. The Night Court reboot, starring Melissa Rauch, is the first series to get cancelled. The courtroom comedy lasted three seasons, with Lacretta and John Larroquette co-starring in the shenanigans. After a strong start, the show’s year-to-year numbers steadily declined. Nostalgia is a powerful tool in Hollywood, but with so much competition, it shows that springboards from fond memories eventually fade.

According to Deadline, there was an effort to bring the show back for a fourth and final season with a shorter episode count, but it didn’t happen. It’s still possible that Warner Bros. Television could shop the show somewhere else.

The series revolved around “unapologetic optimist judge Abby Stone (Rauch), the daughter of the late Harry Stone, who follows in her father’s footsteps as she presides over the night shift of...

NBC’s brutal clearout of shows has claimed a nostalgic victim as Night Court will not be renewed for a fourth season. The revival of the 1984 sitcom scored a big win when it originally returned, with several original cast members reprising their old roles, but according to viewership figures the shine very quickly wore off, with Seasons 2 and 3 seeing a large drop-off in numbers.

Warner Bros. Television may decide to try and shop the series around to other networks and streaming platforms, as according to Deadline, there was a strong case made for the show to be given one final season to round out the series. For now, though, the jury has returned its verdict, and only a late appeal can save the show.

Season 3 was rounded out on Tuesday with a two-part finale that saw some guest star returns with Marsha Wardfield returning as Roz and Michael Urie taking...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for the Night Court Season 3 finale.] Melissa Rauch and John Larroquette‘s Night Court revival concluded its third season on May 6 with a cliffhanger ending featuring Rauch’s former TV husband from The Big Bang Theory, Simon Helberg. Sadly, the Night Court Season 3 finale is now its series finale. NBC canceled the multi-cam sitcom on Friday, May 9, just days after its finale aired. It the first NBC cancellation of the 2024-2025 season, quickly followed by the cancellation of Lopez vs. Lopez on the same day. According to Deadline, there was reportedly a late push for Night Court to get a shortened fourth and final season, but it didn’t pan out. It’s possible that Warner Bros. Television, the studio that produces Night Court, will shop the series around following the NBC cancellation. The Night Court Season 3 finale set up a major twist that was going to be addressed in a potential...

The NBC jury has reached a verdict, your honor, and it is bad news for Night Court fans. The reboot of the classic Reinhold Weege sitcom was firmly on the bubble for the network after drawing a more modest audience than its first two seasons under Dan Rubin. In the end, Melissa Rauch will not be returning to the bench as Judge Abby Stone for Season 4, as the series has been cancelled per Deadline. The news comes just days after Season 3 served out the final two episodes of its 18-episode sentence with a bombshell reveal that changed everything for Judge Stone.

Night Court kicked off on a white-hot note when it debuted in 2023. According to Nielsen ratings at the time, the reboot had been NBC's biggest comedy premiere since 2017, only being surpassed by the reboot of Will & Grace. Since then, the series settled into a groove, bringing zany courtroom...

NBC has canceled Lopez vs. Lopez and Night Court after three seasons apiece. The cancellations come on the final business day before NBC’s upfront — when networks pitch advertisers on their coming slates — on Monday.

Night Court aired its third season finale, which will now serve as a series ender, on Tuesday — although sources say Warner Bros. TV, which produces the show with Universal TV, may try to find a new home for the series.

This Night Court stars Melissa Rauch (who also executive produces) as Abby Stone, a judge in Manhattan’s often chaotic night court and the daughter of Harry Stone, the lead character in the original 1984-92 series (who was played by the late Harry Anderson). John Larroquette reprised his role from the original series as attorney Dan Fielding; the season three cast also includes Lacretta, Nyambi Nyambi and Wendie Malick. Marsha Warfield made several appearances as Roz,...

The article includes spoilers for the Night Court Season 3 finale.

NBC's Night Court sitcom was a revival of the series of the same name that aired between 1984 and 1992. The series starred The Big Bang Theory's Melissa Rauch in the leading role.

Night Court just released its Season 3 finale on May 6, which left fans in shock. NBC didn't spend too much time debating whether to renew or cancel the multi-camera show, and revealed its unfortunate decision just days later. Per Deadline, NBC has officially decided not to renew Night Court for Season 4.

Night Court premiered on NBC in 2023 and received enough good viewership numbers to receive a renewal for Seasons 2 and 3. However, the show's luck ran out right after one of the biggest cliffhangers. Season 3, Episode 18, titled "A Decent Proposal," aired on May 6, and it featured yet another The Big Bang Theory reunion, bringing over Simon Helberg, who played...

It’s the end of the road for the “Night Court” reboot and “Lopez vs. Lopez” at NBC.

NBC opted not to renew the Melissa Rauch-led sitcom or the George and Mayan Lopez comedy series for a fourth season, TheWrap has learned. The news comes just days after “Night Court” aired its Season 3 finale, which left off on a cliffhanger surrounding the romantic life of judge Abby Stone (Rauch). “Lopez vs. Lopez” wrapped its run in February.

The cuts come ahead of NBC’s upfront presentation on Monday, with the network having to make tough decisions to make room for NBA programming starting this fall.

While “Night Court” won’t return to NBC, Warner Bros. TV, which produces the show, is hoping to find a new home for series, an individual with knowledge told TheWrap.

Following in the footsteps of the original “Night Court” sitcom, which ran from 1984 to 1992, the reboot series follows Abby,...

Night Court is no longer in session: NBC has cancelled the courtroom comedy revival after three seasons, TVLine has confirmed, though it is possible that Warner Bros. Television could shop the sitcom around to another network or streamer.

The continuation of the 1984-92 courtroom comedy starred Melissa Rauch (The Big Bang Theory) as Judge Abby Stone, who presided over the same New York City night court as her late father Harry Stone (played on the original series by Harry Anderson, who died in 2018). John Larroquette reprised his role as attorney Dan Fielding, who served as the night court’s public defender.

Exclusive: NBC’s Night Court is no longer in session as the multi-camera comedy starring Melissa Rauch is not being renewed for a fourth season.

The news is not surprising since NBC has been looking to make cuts as it is preparing for basketball coverage next season under the $2.5B a year deal with the NBA. Night Court, a reboot the original 1984 sitcom, was considered vulnerable — after a strong early run early on, the comedy has been posting significant year-to-year drop-off this season as the nostalgia factor may have worn off.

Still, Deadline understands there was a late push for Night Court to return for a shorter fourth and final season, which was unsuccessful. There is a possibility for it to be shopped elsewhere by studio Warner Bros. Television.

Night Court was one of three multi-camera comedy series on NBC this season. Freshman hit Happy’s Place has been renewed for next season.

After eighteen humor-filled episodes that left viewers eager for more, Night Court Season 3 ended less than twenty-four hours ago with such an epic cliffhanger. The beloved comedy is currently awaiting a renewal from NBC, but in the meantime, series star Melissa Rauch has shared her expectations for a potential fourth season. The actress told TV Insider that the show’s team has a “spectacular plan” in place for the future, which also includes her former Big Bang Theory co-star Simon Helberg.

In the final episode of Night Court Season 3, Helberg surprisingly appeared as Abby’s (Rauch) husband, Spencer, walking in when his wife was preparing to get engaged to on-again, off-again boyfriend Jake (Ryan Hansen). That marks the second time that The Big Bang Theory alums play an onscreen married couple, as fans may recall their portrayal of the fan-favorite Howard and Bernadette in the hit CBS show that ran...

This article contains spoilers for Night Court season 1, episode 18, "A Decent Proposal."

The chances of Night Courtseason 4 getting renewed gets an optimistic response from star and executive producer Melissa Rauch. After delivering quick renewals to Happy's Place and St. Denis Medical, NBC has been relatively slow to hand out decisions on its remaining schedule. One Chicago has been renewed, with Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med all coming back, and the Law & Order franchise is poised to continue. But outside those titles, Night Court season 4 and several other series remain in limbo.

In an interview with TV Insider, Rauch touched on what could happen in Night Court season 4 after a big cliffhanger. The season 3 finale sees TheBig Bang Theory's Simon Helberg debut as the previously unknown husband of Judge Abby Stone, who is played by Rauch. The actor and producer shared that she hopes to continue the series,...

A Decent Proposal Season 3 Episode 18 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “Night Court,” titled “A Decent Proposal,” promises to bring a mix of humor and heartfelt moments to the courtroom. Judge Abby Stone continues her journey as she navigates the challenges of presiding over the night shift in a bustling Manhattan arraignment court. Following in the footsteps of her late father, Harry Stone, Abby faces a unique cast of characters that make every night an adventure.

In this episode, Abby finds herself dealing with a particularly quirky case that tests her patience and creativity. The oddball crew that surrounds her, filled with cynics and dreamers alike, adds to the chaos. As Abby tries to maintain order in the courtroom, she also has to manage her relationships with her staff, each of whom brings their own brand of humor and unpredictability to the mix.

Night Court is about to adjourn for Season 3, but there are still two more episodes to go before Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch) and her overworked colleagues clock out. A double-feature finale will air this Tuesday that will send the season off with a big bang (pun intended), including several exciting guests and potentially big developments for the Manhattan Municipal Court's judge. Collider can exclusively share a new sneak peek at one of the new additions — Critics' Choice Award-winning Shrinking star Michael Urie — who will be making his debut as "The Funnest Judge in the City" in Episode 17. Abby will come face to face with her new rival, determined to prove that he isn't as fun as everyone believes he is.

In the sneak peek, Judge Toby Nulman (Urie) is taking selfies with his adoring fans during a session that ran a bit later than expected. When Abby tries to speak with him,...

If there was a horror movie remake scales of justice, it would be tipping heavily toward the side reading “Failure.” Most of the time, the film being revisited is a classic and really begs the question as to why it needs to be made again in the first place. Every once in a while, though, a remake will come along that defies expectations—one that deserves to be given a chance because of the care that was clearly taken to quench the thirst of fans of the original as well as bring new fans into the family. The Marcus Nispel-directed Texas Chainsaw Massacre from 2003 is one of those films. It hit all the right notes, captured the right tone, and cut off the right limbs.

From the opening voiceover, once again recorded by original narrator John Larroquette (though he probably got paid with actual money this time for his...

At long last, Bernadette and Howard have reunited after The Big Bang Theory. Entertainment Weekly has exclusively shared the first images from the upcoming Season 3 finale of Night Court that finally brings Simon Helberginto the Manhattan Municipal Court to stand before Judge Abby Stone, played by his former on-screen partner Melissa Rauch. Not only do they offer a delightful shot of the two together, but they also pull the curtain ever so slightly back on Helberg's "game-changing" new character, Spencer, who was teased to have a big role in the final episode next week. His appearance will cap off a two-episode Tuesday night that will be filled with a few exciting guests, including another Big Bang universe star in Young Sheldon's Raegan Revord.

Both Helberg and Revord will appear in the second of the two episodes, titled "A Decent Proposal." It's designed as an homage to an episode of the...

Melissa Rauch is serious about comedy. Or maybe it's just that in her role as Judge Abby Stone on NBC's reboot of Night Court, she gets a power rush from waving her gavel around.

"What I've really gotten a high on in playing [Abby] is the judgy powers of having the decision in the palm of my hand," she tells Gold Derby. "There is such a control that comes with that, just by making a decision and going like this—" she mimes banging, "and going for the gavel!"

Night Court is, so far, one of TV's real reboot success stories. With two Emmy nominations and a third season that just wrapped, it's both a riff on and a new way of looking at the original, which aired on NBC from 1984 to 1992. Rauch's Stone is the daughter of original main character Judge Harry Stone, but that's not the only call-back; John Larroquette,...

Night Court — – Pictured: John Larroquette as Dan Fielding — (Photo by: Nicole Weingart/NBC) 2024 NBCUniversal Media, LLC. For fans of the original Night Court, the first three seasons of the Night Court revival have been a welcome gift. With Melissa Rauch starring as the daughter of the late Harry Anderson’s Judge Harry T. Stone and John Larroquette returning as Dan Fielding, there have been plenty of callbacks to the original show. Larroquette, for one, was thrilled with the idea of the new judge being Stone’s daughter. After all, he said, working with Anderson and the other cast members on the original always felt like family.
