• "Night Court" Canned After 3 Seasons

    The network has canceled the comedy after three seasons. The show 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.

    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).

    That blows! I had my doubts about reviving this but I thought they did a remarkable job of recapturing the zaniness of the original and would
    happily have watched more seasons.

    Here's hoping they find a new home on some other network or streamer!

    I'm going to blame too many cast changes.

    A segment of the audience is like me - resistant or downright hostile to
    esp. unnecessary cast changes, and this show went through at least 2 or
    3 of those.

    Wow - it's a bloodbath at NBC!

    I think they're cancelling *all* of their shows that have premiered in
    the last 3 years.

    Reddit is talking about NBA on NBC as the reason, but I think there's
    more too this.

    The "Chicago" shows probably got lucky that one of them wasn't cancelled
    too. (I'd vote for PD, which seems pointless to me without either Sophia
    Bush or she-who-smiles-inappropriately...)

    I also blame the show just not being that funny. Although now that you
    mention the cast changes, you do have a point as far as not being able
    to invest in the characters. I'm not going to miss it. I currently
    have several episodes sitting on my DVR unwatched. There's a good
    chance I'm just going to delete them.
