This week on It Was a Thing on TV, prepare for trouble and make it double as we go to the courtroom!

First, a long awaited reboot of Night Court will debut. In honor of the event, we are going back to a show which could be considered the inspiration for the original Night Court. Sirota's Court has a similar feel, but it only lasted several months in 1976 and 1977. There were reasons, including a controversial plot line and going up against the biggest miniseries ever.

Next, Chico's birthday is coming up and he's playing his Money in the Bank on this gem from the 1980s with twins. One is good and the other is troublesome...at least in the first season. Also, Greg comes up with an idea for a prequel for Jake and the Fatman.

Finally, Greg saw this commercial one day and felt it was deserving of a minisode. Did you ever feel the Metaverse deserved it's own law firm? We didn't either.
