Night Court: Season 9[]

Season 9, the final season of Night Court, began with the two episode story "A Guy Named Phantom", of which the first episode of that arc aired on NBC-TV on September 18, 1991; the series finale episode, "The 1992 Boat Show", aired on May 31, 1992. A total of 20 episodes were aired in the season.

Description[]

The final season of Night Court leaves viewers with more laughs and a fond farewell. Bull (Richard Moll) prepares to get married; Dan (John Larroquette) decides he may — gasp — be tired of sex; Harry (Harry Anderson) ponders becoming a full-time teacher; Roz finally meets her pen pal; Mac (Charles Robinson) debates becoming an underwear model; and Christine (Markie Post) runs for Congress! It’s a final season to remember with the always funny, always endearing Night Court.
