What Season 6 of Night Court

Season 6 of Night Court follows the night shift at a criminal court in Manhattan, where urgent cases are dealt with at lightning speed. Judge Harry Stone, 33 years old, runs hearings with jokes and magic tricks. Working alongside him are prosecutor Dan Fielding, narcissistic and willing to do anything to get a woman into bed, and Christine Sullivan, a fiery but naive defense attorney. Bull Shannon, a huge bailiff with a childlike streak, completes the cast. The team's rivalries and antics set the pace of the episodes. Dan runs for a seat in the State Assembly, Christine deals with suitors and risky schemes, and Harry takes on stranger and stranger assignments. Eccentric defendants pass through the courtroom.
