Summary

The multi-camera comedy *Night Court*, inspired by an 1984 sitcom featuring Judge Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch), is not being renewed for a fourth season due to budget cuts as NBC prepares for NBA coverage. Despite strong early ratings, the show has seen significant year-to-year drops this season, likely due to nostalgia fatigue. A final short run was reportedly pursued but unsuccessful, leaving fans with speculation about potential future options for the series. Meanwhile, *Happy’s Place* is renewed, while *Lopez vs. Lopez* remains uncertain.
