NIGHT COURT - The Night Off

Air Date/Released Thursday, January 16, 1986
Station/Studio NBC / Starry Night Productions

Eccentric judge Harry Stone presides over an NYC night court of fellow eccentrics, and the occasional loon.

A replacement judge takes over while Harry tackles a backlog of paperwork. Too many miscarriages of justice have taken their toll on Judge Hirsch, who puts the entire staff in jail for contempt, while his nonsensical rambling threatens to release prisoners from the holding cells. Hirsch interrupts the proceedings to declare his love of The Three Stooges...
Hey, do any of you people like The Three Stooges? My favorite one is when Moe is playing a judge, and he says “Order! Order! Order in the court!” And Curly gets up and says, “I’ll have a ham and cheese on rye!
Later, in an emotional meltdown, Hirsch declares Order! and screams What’s the matter with you people? You’re supposed to say ham and cheese!
