   The network has canceled the comedy after three seasons. The show aired
   its third season finale, which will now serve as a series ender, on
   Tuesday — although sources say Warner Bros. TV, which produces the show
   with Universal TV, may try to find a new home for the series.
  
   Night Court stars Melissa Rauch (who also executive produces) as Abby
   Stone, a judge in Manhattan’s often chaotic night court and the daughter
   of Harry Stone, the lead character in the original 1984-92 series (who
   was played by the late Harry Anderson).

 
 Wow - it's a bloodbath at NBC!
 
 I think they're cancelling *all* of their shows that have premiered in
 the last 3 years.
 
 Reddit is talking about NBA on NBC as the reason, but I think there's
 more too this.
 
 The "Chicago" shows probably got lucky that one of them wasn't cancelled
 too. (I'd vote for PD, which seems pointless to me without either Sophia
 Bush or she-who-smiles-inappropriately...)

 
 It's actually gotten better since SWSI left!

 
I'm sorry - I like her, but Marina Squerciati cannot carry that show by
herself!

They have a new female detective, plus the three male detectives.
