Reinhold Weege, who created the popular Emmy-winning sitcom “Night Court” about an often-anarchic, after-hours New York courtroom and its cast of memorably loony characters, has died. He was 62.

Weege, who also wrote and co-produced the television series “Barney Miller,” died Dec. 1 of natural causes at his home in La Jolla, Calif.

“Night Court,” which aired on NBC from 1984 to 1992, starred a boyish Harry Anderson as the unorthodox, fun-loving judge Harry Stone and John Larroquette as lecherous prosecuting attorney Dan Fielding.
