Night Court - Sex or Money?

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

This was such a great time in television history, Night Court and Cheers every week. Such a great time.

[@supremeobliterator]

warriors. Was just thinking that this last week as well. Damn I miss the 80s.

[@taopilot2669]

The original 'Must See TV'.

[@fromthehaven94]

Cosby, Family Ties, Cheers, Night Court, and L.A. Law: the first TV schedule I had committed to memory.

[@ONTHEEDGEFRED]

I totally agree, as has been mentioned definitely must see TV

[@J.B24]

And now you can re-live it all on hulu. I was a kid during this time so I was too young to understand these shows but now I'm watching old episodes of cheers from the beginning and I think it was a brilliant show.

[@Doofus171]

Why not. This show displayed what people were actually like (with a comedic twist). Parents didnt care if kids learned the truth from shows. No one was offended. It was just comedy. Humanity has moved backwards since then. Everyone is offended and no one is allowed to laugh at being ourselves. I miss those times. They were good.

[@redshift1976]

@@Doofus171 no one was offended? There were plenty of prudes in the 80's. The 700 Club/Pat Robertson set were everywhere sticking there noses in everybody's business. Don't forget, those are the do-gooder, self righteous busybodies who also helped spawn what we see today.

Drescher had a cold when she went in for the audition for The Nanny, and they loved how she was talking.

@@silkdragon504 what do you THINK he meant by that? Use your noodle. :LOL

[@MichaelLee-tt7gm]

@Adrienne Gurge No, that was "From Snoop To Nuts, Part 1" (Season 6). But the implication is the same: that Dan always has a box of toys on standby, in case he hooks up with that kind of woman during working hours.

[@jpowers55]

He said afternoon but it's supposed to be "Night" Court.

[@billymclane9895]

I was really sad to hear about Harry Anderson passing away I am going to miss him he was a funny and great actor and I liked him in Dave's World 😭😢.

With the passing of Harry Anderson dreams of a reboot can never be because it won't be the same without him!

[@pancudowny]

You shoulda seen how irreverent he was when forced to do a anti-drunk-driving PSA... In in one of the "blooper" takes, he suggested driving as fast as possible "...because the longer you're behind the wheel while drunk, the greater the chance of you getting in an accident."😂

Harry "Sex or money, Dan?" I'm sure the earlier Night Court would have gone with a response of Dan: "... I don't know, which would you want more?"

[@illuminatedcrosshairs7865]

[@stevarino1989]

pre Nanny days. She had a pretty solid acting career starting in 1977 in Saturday Night Fever, the chick who says to Tony "Are you as good in bed as you are on the dance floor?" And did a number of movies throughout the 80s, like UHF with Weird Al. But she became a household name in 1993 once The Nanny started lol.

[@TommygunNG]

@@stevarino1989 Thank you for confirming who that was.

[@dancrews7769]

I LOVE this episode! I LOVE it when Dan gets laid. This and the Teri Hatcher episode are perhaps my 2 favorites

[@maigretus1]

But the whole point of the Teri Hatcher episode was that Dan *couldn't* sleep with her.

[@0megacron]

Dan gets all the winners. Fran Drescher here had her "Jekyll & Hyde" thing, Teri Hatcher was all over him and he couldn't touch her (boss' daughter), Nana Visitor kept switching to different TV personalities, one gal turned out to be a mafia boss' wife, etc etc.

[@cdh98]

you forgot about the time he hit on the chick that turned out to be his sister

[@LeighMet]

Hatcher was bosses niece

[@MrJaybone5]

The monster's daughter.

Yeah, but his sister went and "rode" Bull...!😁
