Night Court “Santa Goes Downtown“ (w/ Robbie and Tim)

Totally Rad Christmas!

What’s up, dudes? Remember “Night Court?” Tim Williams from 80’s Flick Flashback and Robbie Sherman from Conversations with Robbie Sherman do, and they’re here to talk about the most iconic Christmas episode ‘Santa Goes Downtown!’
In its first Christmas episode, a defendant that identifies himself only as Santa Claus comes before the court. He’s before the court accused of trespassing. “Santa,” who is referred to as "John Doe", seems to know everyone's name and facts about their pasts. Soon after, two troubled teens that refuse to give their names appear before Judge Stone. The two runaway teens, named Marty McFly—I mean Eddie—and Mary, shoplifted items from a convenient store.
"Santa", convinced he actually is St. Nicholas, tries hard to persuade the teens that he is in fact Santa Claus. Consequently, he helps the young runaways resolve their issues and offers Harry the opportunity to succeed him as the next Santa. While the "Santa" turns out to be a harmless escaped mental patient, there are distinct hints that he may in fact be the real thing. And thus, Magic and mystery become an established part of the “Night Court” universe.
Boozing Santa? Check. Angsty teens? Yep. Ambiguously magical mental patient Santa? Definitely! So grab your dingy Santa suit, booze up, and judge this episode on ‘Santa Goes Downtown!’
