But Anderson said he's not sure if Night Court would work today. “I don't want to see old Judge Harry Stone,” he told a journalist (Anderson turned 72 in October). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
