In the NBC Christmas Special, Night Court Tears Me Apart Live
In the latest episode of NBC's "Night Court," the show took a bold turn by bringing back the classic '80s series with a special holiday episode titled "A Night Court Before Christmas." Marsha Warfield reprised her role as Ros Russell, the no-nonsense bailiff from the original series, and the episode took direct shots at Meghan Markle.
The storyline unfolded with Ros Russell getting arrested for trespassing and vandalism at a local plantation. Initially claiming to film a documentary about her enslaved ancestors, it was revealed that she was hired by a tabloid to spy on Meghan Markle, who was supposedly staying at the same plantation with Prince Harry and their children.
While Meghan didn't make an on-screen appearance, the show's writers portrayed her as manipulative and selfish, exploiting her royal status for fame and fortune. The episode made jokes about Meghan's family history, mental health, and her Oprah interview. Ros claimed to have overheard a conversation between Harry and Queen Elizabeth II about Archie's skin color and royal title.
The verdict in the Night Court was that Ros was found guilty and sentenced to community service at the plantation, along with writing a letter of apology to Meghan and watching all episodes of "The Crown" on Netflix.
Reactions to the episode were mixed. Some viewers found it hilarious, while others considered it offensive and disrespectful. Fans of the original "Night Court" were thrilled to see Marsha Warfield back on screen. However, Meghan and royal family supporters accused the show of bullying and spreading misinformation.
The show's creators defended their creation, stating that it was meant to be satire and not a personal attack on Meghan. They claimed inspiration from a subreddit where users mock and criticize Meghan's actions and statements.
As the drama unfolds in the second season of "Night Court," the question remains whether Meghan will clap back or reconsider her Netflix deal. The show continues to make waves, tackling Meghan Markle and royal family drama with a satirical edge.
