a writeup about Shelley in Night Court
In 1984, Shelley was set to join the cast of the sitcom Night Court in its second season, replacing Paula Kelly as Judge Harry Stone's (Harry Anderson) love interest. Publicity photos were taken. The announcement was made. And then during the first day of shooting the new season, she and the producers of the show decided it wasn't working, so she left the show. "I liked the show. They offered me the role. I went and met with them and liked them," Shelley said. "But what happened was the role was changed somewhere between that meeting and my first day on the set," she added. Shelley was set to play Christine Sullivan. The role eventually went to Markie Post
