The long-awaited kind-of reboot/sequel of Night Court premieres with back-to-back episodes Tuesday, January 17th at 8:00 p.m. on NBC. According to Nerds & Beyond, original star John Larroquette returns as attorney Dan Fielding. So does the iconic theme song.

Night Court first aired on NBC from 1984 to 1992. It was an immediate hit thanks in large part to the late Harry Anderson, who played Judge Harry T. Stone. The sequel tips its hat to Anderson in the form of Melissa Rauch (The Big Bang Theory) playing Stone’s daughter Abby, who happens to be the new night court judge.

The new Night Court cast also includes Kapil Talwalkar, India de Beaufort, and Lacretta. As you’ll see in the trailer below, the Manhattan courtroom where the series is set continues to receive more than its fair share of outrageous cases. 

Phil Harris is 50% of "Phil & Mel in the Afternoon" on K104.7. He has been with the station since 2013 and on the air in Charlotte since 2000. Before coming to the Queen City, Phil worked for radio stations in Pittsburgh, Austin, and Seattle.

Poll: '80s & '90s Were Best Decades For Television

According to a new poll from YouTube TV, Americans believe the ‘80s and ‘90s were the best decades for television. It’s hard to argue with that. I certainly like a lot of shows that were created after 2000, but we all tend to favor the anything we had or experienced when we were younger.

The Brighter Side of News reports that the survey of 2,000 adults revealed that about 75% admit they love watching reruns of their favorite shows. It’s like comfort food. When asked what makes a show “good” in the first place, 60% say it’s all about the cast and the writing. Another 65% say that the best shows have characters that remind them of people in their own lives.

So which shows made the list as the greatest of all time? Four out of the top five fall into the ’80s and ’90s categories. Those were “Friends,” “Seinfeld,” “Three’s Company,” and “Frasier.” “Game of Thrones” was the 21st Century exception. And only one reality show cracked the top 20. Can you guess which one? You can see the complete list HERE.
