Weege wrote for several television series, including Barney Miller and M*A*S*H. In 1981, he created the short-lived sitcom Park Place. In 1984, he created the sitcom Night Court, which ran for nine seasons on NBC.[1] Weege owned Starry Night Productions, which produced Night Court until 1989, when Weege left the series after six seasons. He produced the unsold sitcom pilot 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]
Weege died of natural causes in La Jolla, California, on December 1, 2012, at the age of 62.[3][4] Actor John Larroquette, who played Night Court prosecutor Dan Fielding, paid tribute to Weege in a Twitter post:
"In life there are those who impact us with such force everything changes. Reinhold Weege was that in mine. May he truly rest in peace."
