Night Court - Dan's Halloween Party

[@waynehansell6749]

Dan Fielding was my favorite character on Night Court. Nobody could have played him better than John Larroquette.

[@cityhawk]

Wayne Hansell I thought he was as perfect in Stripes as well.

[@Penfold8]

My heart was always with Bull. Dan was my second choice.

[@AngryVet44]

Me too, and I was a kid when this series aired. Loved him so much I saw him on Broadway with Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe.

[@styleisaweapon]

Come one, just about every character in this show was performed perfectly, including the recurring defendants such as Brent Spinners character Bob Wheeler.

[@jamesfountain6183]

Nope

[@jackson5116]

Him being 6'6" with the others around 3' just added so much hilarity to that moment!

[@kris242]

God the Wizard of Oz reference was just friggen brilliant 🤣

[@bryankautz826]

John played the role of asskissing, self-serving, get ahead no matter what, lawyer weasel, sexual deviant, perfectly. Don't think they could have casted anyone better for the role. Plus I always found it funny that he was a public prosecutor wearing $1500 suits working in a night court trying to put away low level criminals. LOL

[@allisongaines3330]

LOVED his character in Night court. He is my favorite on Night court, hands down!!

[@kellygervais3440]

No wonder John won so many emmys..the best..

[@tphvictims5101]

Marki is still Beautiful. Harry was very magical. Dan is every lawyer I’ve ever met.

Remember the rocker that was seeing the psychiatrist and was somewhat suicidal? In reality, that was Markie's husband.

[@sha11235]

It was a recurring character.

[@dfire351]

Scarecrow in Munchkinland. 😂

[@FomorViceroy]

I didn't even think of that. Now it's ten times as funny. LOL

[@overcomerbtboj]

Oh and he looks so hilarious in his costume 🤣😂🤣🤣

[@FomorViceroy]

I love how when we first see Dan, he's sliding to a stop, suggesting he was running through the halls of the court house, desperately trying to find his boss. LOL

[@trevorbarnhill1481]

They don't make sitcoms like this anymore.

[@jeffgalus8454]

I just don't see how the "sequel" does it justice 😕

One of the funniest moments ever on Night Court.

[@LextheRobot]

3:09 In a nice inside joke, the man with the dark moustache in the center of frame is Jerry Marin... in the Wizard of Oz (1939) he played the Lollipop Guild member who handed Judy Garland the giant lollipop.

Beyond foolish

[@BAKER22-l4u]

[@pehenry]

1:24 - Funny bit on fashion here. Dan's outfit looks classic and would still look good by today's standards. Christine's outfit makes her look like she's going to an 80's party.

[@jackson5116]

Men's suits haven't really changed much other than being less fitted. Women's styles have ebbed and flowed since then.

[@a.b.sproductionsllc]

Jack Son Three Piece Suits aren’t exactly the style now, but I’ll rock it!

[@LunkovichTromofski]

"Christine's outfit makes her look like she's going to an 80's party" I wonder if that had anything to do with the show starting in the mid-80s? lol

[@anilgoel1475]

I’d be quite happy to take Christine to any party in any outfit in any location. But yes, Dan was very well dressed; The classics always hold up.

Harry Anderson may have been the star of Night Court, but if you ask me, JOHN LARROQUETTEE is Night Court the secne stealer.No wonder he won two Emmys for that role he deserved it.

[@FomorViceroy]

He actually won four Emmys; four years in a row. After his fourth, Larroquette took himself out of the running.

[@tommyt1971]

“BAD DOG!! BAD DOG!!” I love that gag.

[@terryrattler3879]

Dan Filding was The man

[@JW...-oj5iw]

The guy playing Dan's boss was in an early episode of Married With Children. Steve had a road rage incident and the guy tracked him to the Bundy house. Al advised Steve to yank the door open and punch him in the belly. Of course Steve didn't know he was little, so when he threw the punch, it tagged the guy in the head. KO'd him. They brought him inside and put him on the couch. When he came to, he was upset about Steve's vicious nature. It was pretty funny thirty years ago. I think it would be funny today.

[@canaisyoung3601]

Oh yeah. I remember that episode. That was season three's "The Harder They Fall".

[@sha11235]

Dan Frischman is the guy's name. He also appeared in a Jeffersons' episode. He was a charm teacher for George.

[@JW...-oj5iw]

I knew that name sounds familiar. Dan Frischman is the actor who played Arvid in Head of the Class. Seems to me that it's unlikely contemporaneous actors would use the same name.

[@JW...-oj5iw]

I had to do a little research on the subject, and found that indeed, they have very similar names. Dan is the geeky actor from Head of the Class. Daniel is the little person actor (Ewok). Both are Frischman. Interesting coincidental names. They don't appear to be directly related.

Those are all animated over-the-top shows. I'm talking about shows on regular networks in prime time. I can just hear how people would complain about how Dan is objectifying and harassing women. I can almost hear The View panel calling for a boycott. There would be a Twitter storm. We've gone insane.
