Night Court - Vow of Silence

Rest In Peace Markie Post.

Yeh. She was a hottie ❤️

[@radioactive9861]

So fucking hilarious, and yet, I kept thinking....couldn't he have just written something on a piece of paper?😂🤣😂

[@overcomerbtboj]

Markie was absolutely beautiful and i loved the rest of the cast too- what a great classic comedy - night court was awesome 😎

[@Rensune]

The show is back, but only with Larroquette (Warfield and Moll are still alive, but aren't back, for some reason). Not even Brent Spiner is back. Feels bad.

[@overcomerbtboj]

@@Rensune i know i wish they had left it alone i hate all these terrible reboots

[@TheZetaKai]

This is one of those times when the dude should've had a card on him explaining his condition, like the slo-mo tortoise guy.

[@robertschmidt7879]

True, but that would’ve had an adverse impact on the punchline

[@Avallachgrey]

Or motioned for a pen and paper. Lol

The Joker had a card......How did it work out for him.

For four seasons, Night Court aired as part of NBC's first generation of what would later be known in the 90s as, Must-See TV. From 1984-1988, it was broadcast alongside The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Cheers, and Hill Street Blues (later LA Law). Ratings for the series peaked between 1986-1988 when the series was the 7th most-watched show on television.

[@blockmasterscott]

The "shut up" was hilarious!

[@Rikard_A]

Or really rude.

[@Wildstar40]

Yup being quiet for that long only to be told to shut up. Comedy gold.

Season Five (from which the clip of this episode is from) was when the show was at it's peak. One of the best things about this season and Season 4 was Reinhold Weege's father providing the memorable laughter in the audience, you can hear his unique laugh in virtually every episode and in Season 6 as well (the last season Reinhold Weege was part of the show). His father's laugh can also be heard when the Starry Night Productions Logo is shown at the end of the episode credits (Starry Night Productions gets it's name from the production company Sgt. Harris used in Barney Miller when he formed a production company to make a porn film for a sting operation (Weege was the writer of that episode)).

[@fandomdancer]

I thought the laugh during the Starry Night logo was Harry Anderson's.

[@no288]

OH woow its been years since i last saw this tv-show. - i enjoy it very much back then

[@neilgoldring4832]

[@alanlovesheidi1]

R I P Richard Moll you were so funny and one of my favorites on night court

[@BSGSV]

Unfortunately, only Charles Moll and John Larroquette are still alive from this bunch. Time marches on.

[@feverspell]

Marsha Warfield is still alive. She played Roz.

[@drdave2020]

Sadly, Charles Richard Moll passed away on October 26, 2023; leaving John Larroquette and Marsha Warfield. Single season main cast members Karen Austin and Ellen Foley are still with us too.

Actually, that would be cheating.

[@athenayclove]

I love night court.

[@Jim-qc6gu]

[@james-ud9lp]

I'm fairly certain that those who take a vow of silence can arguably speak in a court of law and not break their vow it would not count against their vow of silence

[@cityhawk]

Interesting fact. How do you figure? Has there been a precedent?

[@james-ud9lp]

@@cityhawk Then again they can also still observe their vow of silence by writing.

[@eliseoguadarrama5320]

Vow of silence but what happens if you hear your own voice in your mind.. vow of silence broken?

[@cityhawk]

Eliseo Guadarrama It’s only broken if it’s verbalized if I’m not mistaken.

[@gengoosekhan]

St Raymonds is of the Dominican Order, their 'vow of silence' is actually site-specific, so there was no reason this guy couldn't speak in a court of law outside the monestary grounds. Even inside that area, Dominicans can use signs to communicate necessary things. I don't know exactly what 'signs' entails, but writing should be permitted.

[@SoapinTrucker]

Can you imagine being silent all that time, then blurting out YEEEES!

Isn't this taking the right to remain silent just a little too far?

[@bobbyfeet2240]

Doesn't really apply here, anyway.

[@LouisWritingSomethingCrazy]

Vow of silence is actually not a real thing according to one monk I met. They just literally don't speak unless absolutely necessary

[@puirYorick]

Give the guy a pencil and a slip of paper!!

[@joemckim1183]

At least ask him to play a game of charades.

@drolgh8 if that's a poke at my writing it's not dyslexia. It's wide fingers and a tiny tap screen keyboard on my phone. Lol

[@curtisberard7831]

@drolgh8 ah, okay. Sometimes my typos make people question. And, all things being equal, sometimes it *is* able to determine what a dyslexic writes. There are also varying levels of dyskexia. My little sister had a form that gave her a reading disability, but with help of understanding teachers and family she powered through it and now is in a managerial position where she works .
