He was born in Chicago, Illinois.[1]<br /><br />Weege wrote for several television series, including Barney Miller and M*A*S*H. In 1981, he created the series Park Place. In 1984, he created the hit sitcom Night Court which ran for nine seasons on the NBC broadcast television network.[1] Weege owned Starry Night Productions, which produced Night Court until 1989, when Weege left the series after six seasons. He also produced the short-lived sitcom Nikki and Alexander in 1989.[2] He was nominated for four Emmy Awards during his career, one for Barney Miller and three for Night Court.[3]<br /><br /> <br /> My stories about the town paint a darker hue with humor of a town that can't keep up with the more affluent Arlington Hts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17575094865493883599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219677652731861971.post-36417966682754120762010-05-27T13:27:21.919-05:002010-05-27T13:27:21.919-05:00This town seems to specialize in the musically gif...This town seems to specialize in the musically gifted.
