Created by Reinhold Weege
On NBC
A warmly optimistic network sitcom about a judge bringing idealism and humor to the night shift of a Manhattan courtroom, built on ensemble camaraderie and weekly case resolution.
Unapologetically optimistic judge Abby Stone, the daughter of the late Harry Stone, follows in her father's footsteps as she presides over the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court and tries to bring order to its crew of oddballs and cynics, most notably former night court prosecutor Dan Fielding.
