Judge Wopner ! (spelling ?)
of the peoples court
the "cases" on these programs are usually ludicrous .
some are so trivial /outlandish they wouldnt even get heard in a small claims court at 3 am.
programs like this and springer are "entertainment"
Those on them are generally representative of "the worst" in people.
They are popular because , its an extension on circus show "freaks"
"bearded lady steals away Moms transsexual lover, but is pregnant by 2nd cousin !"
plaintiff - "he trashed all my clothes i want some money !"
defendant - "but she cheated on me ! so it was self defense !"
viewer - "sheesh look at these loons ! i guess my life aint so bad, after all ."
