Christine Sullivan

Markie Post

Markie Post objected with style as Christine Sullivan on Night Court — Harry Anderson’s magic-loving judge, Manhattan after hours as a jazz set, Larroquette’s Fielding as a comic monsterpiece, Bull and Roz processing the city. Peak NBC multi-cam oddball energy. TV Flash files her as 1980s Must-See craft: the public defender who made the circus look like a job.

Markie Post plays Christine Sullivan on Night Court, the public defender in Harry Anderson’s Manhattan night court, run like a jazz set while Dan Larroquette’s Fielding monsterpieces the prosecution and Bull, Roz, and the after-hours weirdos process the city. Peak NBC multi-cam oddball energy on Must See’s late shift. Post is the blonde steel — comic timing in a profession, a woman who makes the farce look like it still has a docket. Ensemble snap, not a decoration.

Night Court on NBC from 1984–1992 is the filing, and Christine Sullivan is the job. s01e01 puts Post on the clock. All You Need is Love is the after-hours contract: Anderson's magic-loving judge, Larroquette's Fielding already a comic monsterpiece. Harry Anderson’s magic-loving judge, Manhattan after hours as a jazz set, Larroquette’s Fielding as a comic monsterpiece, Bull and Roz processing the city. Peak NBC multi-cam oddball energy. Post on Night Court remains catalog craft on NBC from 1984–1992.

Post's Christine Sullivan is supporting craft the frame treats as load-bearing — not a cameo, a job. Cue s02e01 when you want the turn without a tour. The Nun is season two's oddball title: night-court weirdos as the city's processor, NBC multi-cam on Must See's late slot. s03e14 is the later check. Harry and Leon is a named-pair hour in the ensemble snap — Bull, Roz, and the docket as jazz, not civic instruction. Post is still expensive there.

Courtroom sitcom as vaudeville with files. Christine photographs as glamour and plays as the hour’s adult. On TV Flash Post is 1980s catalog sparkle: the Sullivan who made a night-court zoo feel staffed by a lawyer, then left the gavel looking like it needed someone who could still object on purpose.
