It is very hard to watch this show for 'normal people' -- people who work and do not get off work until 5pm or later. And then you have your commute which, for me is an hour.
You do get a break with channel 55 where they replay the day's eps at 10pm. and yeah, you can dvr them but I have heard too many stories of dvr's cutting off shows, not taping the right show, not taping shows to begin with... who can be bothered?
I am always stunned at the amount of respect she shows for the lowlifes who walk into her courtroom. She is polite and reserved until they piss her off. They come to court either dressed for a grand ball or the gutter. Like, did you know where you were going today???

A famous show I've never seen. But I did see the parody on "The Amanda Show", complete with dancing lobsters. You saw the parody show, eh? I'm not sure how to respond to this thread. Do you really want us to discuss Judge Judy or just ridicule her? Either one is fine - whatever you want to contribute. It's all part of the Judge Judy conversation, so please feel free to join in with your comments and observations.

Hey gang. I am here!
Did you miss me? Yeah...I thought not.
Took me awhile to find the place. Truth be told, I'm not on the new boards that often. However, just browsing TV, and the section of Court TV, it was mentioned about Judge Judy.
Sweet!
New episodes air Thursday and Friday (1 each day). Of course, check one's local listings.
BTW, good to see Grace on here! Great to hear from you!

Joker's Wilde I've missed you - glad you're here. I haven't posted much because of all the reruns. But May sweeps start around April 24, so we will have a whole four weeks of back-to-back new episodes. I will be posting then, I'm sure.

Never cared for the old hen. She knows she has to be a nasty hag to keep the ratings up and she plays the part well.

Don't know where everyone is these days, but I've been watching the new episodes and have a few comments to make...
The Martins (Grandma and grandson) suing the landscaper for not paying the grandson (5-1):
I thought these two were husband and wife. The grandson was 19, and I'm guessing the grandmother was about 40. Didn't looke like grand mother and grandson to me...at all.
Baby daddy and fiance suing baby mama for destroying their property (5-2):
Baby mama needs a desperate chin implant, as well as some top teeth. Just scary looking.
Baby mama suing baby daddy after she had him thrown out of his own house (5-2):
First the woman was 'dating' a few men at the same time, and didn't know the defendant was the daddy until he sued for paternity test and realized he was the dad. Let's call it what it is - she wasn't dating these guys, because you don't get pregnant by dating. She was 'sleeping around' with many men at the same time, and had no idea who the daddy was.
Boyfriend was handsome - looked just like actor Matt Zuchry ("Gilmore Girls"; 'The Good Wife') only more masculine.
Girlfriend broke down in tears at one point. Judge Judy was quiet - didn't tell her she wasn't auditioning for a soap opera. Why? Because she's female.
Son suing dad for squandering $4k of his $25k lawsuit settlement:
Tell me again - which toxic waste dump are they drinking their water from?
Friend suing ex-friend for return of dog (5-1):
The defendant showed up with pink hair, a lip ring, a very low-cut tee shirt, and the words "Product of Determination" tattooed across the top of her very big breasts for everyone to see. Judge Judy was silent - didn't ask her to 'cover up', didn't instruct Byrd to bring her a shawl, didn't tell her she was not auditioning - she was silent. She would not be silent if this was a man. More proof how sexist she is with men.

One case from yesterday (5/2) was going to determine if I would watch JJ ever again.
It was the case of the football pool.
Without going into much detail, the plaintiffs were suing because they thought they had won from the final score.
This past Super Bowl was the first time the game had gone into overtime.
The plaintiffs thought they had won because their score matched the score at the end of the 4th quarter.
The defendant said they did not win because their score did not match the FINAL score. That is -- after overtime.
If the rules had said 'after 4th quarter' with regards to prize winnings, the plaintiffs had a legitimate claim.
It was revealed that it had said 'final'. However, the plaintiffs were never furnished with a copy of the rules.
In the end, judgment was found in the plaintiffs' favour in the amount of $2000, which was half of the prize pool for the final score.
I can live with that.
We have a similar pool at the bowling alley every year. I'll have to watch to see if the prize pool says "after 4th quarter" or "final" with regards to the final score.

What struck me as most odd about the 'betting pool' case was the fact that the activity was ILLEGAL. From what I found on-line, betting pools such as this among friends (in this case, neighbors) are illegal - though commonly done with no consequence. 'Office pools' are legal in a very few states in the US, but this was not an office pool.
SO I'm shocked that JJ would even entertain this case, as they both came to court with 'unclean hands', and wanting her to make the outcome of their illegal activity fair. She should have dismissed the case, letting them know 'her court' would not have any participation in what they did.
I was surprised at her.

doggie daddy.... I take it you've never been to the Bronx. that crap of the grandparents looking younger than the kids and grand kids has been going on for years. Never been in the Bronx, but have driven through it. I see the same thing here - some people look younger than their grandchildren. I know a woman who just turned forty. She's of mixed-heritage; part Puerto Rican, part African American, and part Portuguese. Her son will be 23 in a few weeks, and her mother just passed away in January at the age of 54. So if I do the math correctly - her mother was 15 when she had her; she was 16 when she had her son. Her son, btw, is sleeping with a 16 year old high school boy - in her house each night. I've pointed out to her that this is ILLEGAL, since the high schooler is a minor and her son is an adult (though very immature and coddled) and her response was "Please...They're both happy and in love, and that's all that matters." Sure.

Another observation this week -
There was a handsome guy who was suing his ex friend for rent money, or something. He was 25, very nice looking - I believe Latino? Anyhow, a couple of times when he gave his testimony, he was 'animated' in getting his point across - in a nice, polite way.
JJ reminded him this was not an audition...and he looked surprised at her for saying this, as was I - he only spoke out. But he was good looking and had a nice personality - so I guess that doesn't sit too well with her. Of course, she figured he was 'acting' for any talent agent watching.
In another case that day, a plaintiff's witness Molly is all choked up and crying when giving her testimony. Why didn't JJ remind her that this wasn't an audition for a drama, and all she had to do was just give her testimony. I figured she was auditioning as well for any talent agent watching.

In Molly's case, JJ asked her if she was 'sick' which I thought meant to ask if she was on drugs because her behavior was kinda odd. I don't think she was trying to audition, I just think she was trying to get sympathy. Boy, did she pick the wrong judge! BTW....where is everyone from the old board? I thought everyone was going to post about JJ on another site but when I went to visit recently no one had posted on that site in weeks.

As I said before, I don't watch much Judy, so I have little to say. However, I check this and the other board daily. I miss you guys.

I didn't catch that - I thought she asked because she looked like she had a contagious disease and very ill. Didn't like her at all.
