Night Court is a very funny show, and I will not stand to see a classic go down the drain! A BEST OF dvd should not be the answer for bad sales on Season 1! Everyone knows that the better, more memorable episodes occured after the first season. Why couldn't Warner Bros just come out with Season 2, and consider what they should do from those sales? I'm sure all Night Court fans are as disgusted as I am to see such horrible treatment being done to such a classic. Anyone who feels the same should give a 1 star for this dvd with a review explaination that we want a SEASON 2 DVD set!!!!! Believe me, I am not going to spend my own money on such an unappropriate bestof dvd.

This disc represents a scary and disturbing possibility: That Warner Bros. is brushing off releasing the rest of the seasons of "Night Court" in favor of offering this poorly selected group of episodes as a kind of "peace offering." I've even heard that these are not even the original NBC broadcast versions, but rather the edited syndication versions. I've never known Warner to release anything other than uncut episodes of a TV show before. But, I know there is always that possibility, since other publishers have certainly done it already. The REALLY scary part of it is just this: If this disc performs poorly, it very well could be the final nail in the coffin of the hope of any more uncut season sets to be released. BUT, how can Warner Bros. realistically expect true fans of the show to buy such an inferior product as this? It's no secret that we are all craving the full season sets in uncut format. If Warner feels that the first season set did not sell enough copies, then here's a good idea: Get more copies of the set available at retailers! When the season one set first became available, I noticed that a lot of the stores around here did not even have it! Those that did soon sold out, but almost all of them never restocked it! It seems to me that since the first shipment sold well and quickly, more shipments should have followed. But the slots that had been occupied by "Night Court" were then filled by something else, and it never seemed to show up again. It's almost like it got lost in the shuffle of a continually changing store lineup of available titles. I sincerely believe that it would have done much better if given the chance.

Even though buying this disc might send a message to Warner that "Night Court" is not dead, I can't bring myself to support this lackluster offering. We all have to take a stand and send a message to Warner that this disc belongs in the garbage by NOT buying it. Let's all appeal to them via e-mail or snail mail to resume complete season sets of the original NBC versions. There is no doubt in my mind that season two would be gobbled up immediately. All they would have to do is put it out there, and give it better exposure than season one. We would DEFINITELY take care of the rest.

Warner Bros. You are a joke if you think that you can offer us this lame (TV Favorites Compiation) and expect us long suffering Night Court Fans from around the world to jump for JOY.
You have know idea how long we have been waiting for Night Court to come out on DVD and to have Season One released was magic.
But to offer us this Compilation instead of Season Two is an Insult to all the Night Court fans worldwide, did the Warner Bros. Executive that picked these so called favorites actually see all 193 Episodes, because in my opinion these aren't the best ones I would have picked.
Season One was a little slow but with the entry of Christine to the show it gave show more life and Dan's character became more enjoyable with every episode.
So like a good Red Wine this Show only gets better with time.
So I urge all Night Court Fans all over the world to give this Compilation a miss and I Pray that Warner Bros. have a Heart and give us all the other Seasons in Uncut Format.

I bought Season 1 -- which admittedly was a so-so set of episodes -- and am eagerly waiting for Season 2 and beyond. I loved watching them when they first aired and rediscovered them on late-night TV (via the DVR). Now it's time for the rest of them to appear on DVD......

I am in total agreement with Greg Davis.
Except that I want ALL THE SEASONS completely.

Buy yourselves a clue, WBTV. SOMEone connected with your company must be reading one-star review after one-star review of this product, by this point.

NO ONE. WANTS. THIS.

Season Two. NOW.

I grew up watching Night Court on TV in the 80's and early 90's and regarded it as one of my favorite comedy series along with MASH. I eagerly awaited the release of the series on DVD and when season 1 came out, I picked up a copy on the first day of release and anxiously awaited the second season. Over a year later and still nothing!! This favorites compilation is what I consider a slap in the face of every Night Court fan!! WBTV needs to get a clue and figure out what fans want. If they have a difficult time marketing one of the funniest and most successfully 80's TV comedies, then maybe their marketing department needs an overhaul. Don't penalize dedicated fans any longer and release the rest of the seasons NOW!!

Night Court season one is the *ONLY* DVD I have *EVER* pre-ordered.

If seasons two through nine showed up on Amazon tomorrow I would pre-order them too. This bargain bin, point-of-sale compilation is no substitute and not a barometer for potential sales to series collectors. Not every season was gold, but proud to own the set I'd be! If the studios don't fill the demand soon enough they run the risk of DVD bootlegs, as happened with WKRP.

Once season three discs come out, watch those sales skyrocket.

I must whole heartedly AGREE with everyone else. Why would anyone waste hard earned money on this piece of garbage when if it "sells well" these so called favorite episodes are on the other DVD's. I would buy ALL seasons but absolutly not someone elses choice of favorites, obviously chosen by someone who is not a huge fan of the show!!

They just saved me several hundred dollars. I refuse to buy the episodes like this. Put them in full uncut season format and I'll buy them the day the are released. I just wish I could give them a -10 star rating
