What Season 2 of Night Court

Night Court follows the night shift at a criminal court in Manhattan, where urgent cases are dealt with fast. Presiding over it is Judge Harry Stone, 33 years old, who runs hearings with jokes and magic tricks. He's joined by Dan Fielding, a narcissistic, sex-addicted prosecutor, and Christine Sullivan, a fiery but naive defense attorney. Bull Shannon, a huge and childlike bailiff, completes the cast. This season brings eccentric defendants, from a young nun who leaves her order to a meek man who decides who gets the money from his lottery ticket. Amid rivalries and antics, the team gets its work done while Harry clashes with his superiors and with his own health.
