    Must be related to the folks I deal with.

    You know, they got their car towed, impounded, and had to cough up $130 in penalties, but they did NOT illegally park! YOU HEAR ME?!!!!!

      And on a side note, of all the remakes and relaunches Hollywood does, I almost want to see a modern take on Night Court. It probably wouldn't be the same without Harry and John and the rest.

      Yes I loved that show. I think it could be redone make it a grandson of Harry who reminisces about his funny Magic tricking Judge Grandfather. Have the Prosecutor be a female and a clone of Dan going after guys and girls, The DA me some Jock looking guy who is clueless. The Bailiff be some small little man who is a "Hindu Black belt" (made up) martial arts expert that no one believes.

      It could totally work, you just need to get the casting right. Some of SNL people, maybe some acts from the dive comedy clubs, and have some of the old cast do a few cameos during the first season.

        Judge's in our jurisdiction do NOT take cell phones going off in their courtroom well. They WILL confiscate it - I saw a cop get his taken away once!
        Hypothetical situation: what happens if a person, in advance, approaches the judge (with documentation) and explains that they're on the waiting list for a transplant, and if the hospital makes "the call" but they don't respond right away, the organ will go to someone else, so it's literally a matter of life and death that they have their cellphone on (presumably on "vibrate")?
        Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

          I had this one thrown at me today in the courtroom:

          "Hey, I may have broken the law, but I am not a criminal and you will not treat me like one!"
          A local wanna-be gubernatorial candidate was arrested for DUI and complained *to the press* that the police treated her like a criminal
