History Characters / NightCourt

A Russian immigrant and friend of the group.

* A couple of instances depict her as capable of really putting it away. In one episode, she and Roz try to be "diet buddies", only for Christine to give up and gorge herself on plates and plates of cafeteria food at the end of the episode. Another episode begins with her upset over the finalization of her divorce, and she tries to get Roz to join her in a few plates of waffles.

* HeartbrokenBadass: Several times. But the worst was when his girlfriend Margaret [[spoiler: had to go into witness protection]].

** Roz is so awesome she gets ''two''. She once proclaimed "I could kick butt in bunny slippers!"

* GuileHero: Harry often used his cunning and humor to achieve noble ends.

* BornInAnElevator: Her son in the seventh season finale.

* CloudCuckooLander: Everybody in the show ''thinks'' Harry is one of these.

* AllLovingHero: He's a steadfastly loyal friend, (usually) understanding boss, and understanding and compassionate to everyone that comes before his bench.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Though still quirky and fun-loving, he's has somewhat toned down the over-the-top wackiness and disregard for convention that sometimes threatened to disrupt court proceedings.

* AllegedlyDateless: He definitely doesn't have the success that Dan does with women, His close friends like Christine and Mac automatically assume he's spending his nights after court alone, and he doesn't have a date for social functions. Dan even (half-jokingly) thinks he only recently lost his virginity.

* MissedTheCall: How Harry got his judgeship in the first place. The outgoing mayor was trying to stack the bench on his last day in office, a Sunday. He had a long list of candidates of which Harry was the bottom of the list. Being a Sunday afternoon, the majority of the people on the list weren't home to take the mayor's calls. (This was well before cell phones were common, obviously.) His Honor got to the bottom of the list and... Harry was home. Which is how a young, goofy guy like Harry got to be a judge.
--> '''Harry:''' I may have been at the bottom of the list, but I was on that list.

* NiceHat: Despite his otherwise geekish tendencies, he rocks a pretty cool boater.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: A lot of the jokes around Bull focused on this.

* CloudCuckooLander: For most of the show's run.

* ReallyGetsAround: He was rather notorious for this.

* ReassignedToAntarctica: This almost literally happened to Dan, who was in the US Army Reserves. He was reassigned to the Arctic Circle to help give physicals to polar bears, after he was caught faking an injury in order to avoid being called into active duty. Ironically, Dan only did that because he thought he was being sent into combat; his actual orders involved doing reconnaissance work with his ActionGirl commanding officer in a BananaRepublic, posing as a couple at some exotic resort.
** Also happened, less literally, in Season Nine, when Dan was briefly reassigned to working in the Dog Court.

* ManChild: Tends to throw temper tantrums and loves childish things. And if his feelings are hurt deeply enough he will break out an ear-shattering wail before he starts crying.
