Nick at Nite Requests
TMC
Dear Nick at Nite Viewer Services,
I have a slew of shows in mind that I believe would make great
additions to the Nick at Nite lineup in 2010 starting this January,
after the new year.
First up: "Dream On," the hit 1990-1996 sitcom created by acclaimed
film director John Landis, which focused on Martin Tupper (played by
Brian Benben), a recently divorced 32-year-old New York City book
editor who shared custody with his wife of 12 years, Judith (played by
Wendie Malick), of their teenage son Jeremy (played by Chris
Demetral). Martin's best friend was Eddie Charles (played by Denny
Dillon), his secretary was Toby Pedalbee (played by Denny Dillon), and
employer was Gibby Fiske (played by Michael McKean). "Dream On" was
produced by Bright-Kauffman-Crane Productions in association with
Universal Studios Television and NBC Universal Television.
Next up: "Night Court," the hit 1984-1992 sitcom that starred Harry
Anderson as Judge Harry T. Stone, the local district court judge of
New York City's Manhattan Night Court. His employees included Dan
Fielding (played by John Larroquette), the assistant D.A.; Bull
Shannon (played by Richard Moll), the bailiff; and Roz Russell (played
by Marsha Warfield), the court matron. Nick at Nite and TV Land shall
share the rights to "Night Court," with TV Land airing it in the
afternoons and Nick at Nite airing it at night. "Night Court" was
produced by Starry Night Productions in association with Warner Bros.
TV.
Next up: "Married...With Children," the rights of which shall be
shared with TBS & TV Land, with TV Land airing it weekday afternoons,
TBS airing it in the mornings, and Nick at Nite airing it at night.
The groundbreaking 1987-1997 sitcom focused on the Bundy family of
Chicago, Illinois who lived at 9674 Jeopardy Lane--Al (played by Ed
O'Neill), a hapless shoe salesman; Peg (played by Katey Sagal), a
slob; teenager Kelly (played by Christina Applegate), a bimbo; and 11-
year-old Bud (played by David Faustino), the horndog. The series was
produced by Columbia Pictures Television.
Next up: "The Larry Sanders Show," the hit 1992-1998 sitcom created by
Garry Shandling, who cast himself as Larry Sanders, the host of a
fictional late night talk-show broadcast on a major network. This
series was produced by Brillstein-Grey Entertainment in association
with Columbia Pictures TV.
Sincerely,
Grundoon Katt
