From what I understand, Judy ran her real court the same way back when she was a family court judge. Her husband (Who did a stint on the People's Court) has the same browbeating attitude. They also live right here in Connecticut (Grenwich I think) and the town decided to build a soccer field right next to their property. Well.. the design was horrible and midway through the construction, there was a mudslide of sorts off the construction area and it wiped out a good portion of their yard and every time it rained, mud would wash out of the soccer field and into their pool. They totally went after the town and I think the town gave in (And judging from her and her husband's personalities, I imagine the town fixed things QUICK !).
She has many kids too... all of them in the legal field from what I know. They must be the best behaved kids EVER.

Don't ask how I know all this stuff. I'm just a storehouse of random knowlege that bubbles out occasionally.

whoa! you defenitly are a chest `o random knowledge! Who else knows this much about JJ than you or her family?

And yes, "divorce court" is the worst one of the lot.
Judge Joe Brown is probably the best, if you could call it that...

I love the fact that Europeans get to "experience America" by our swell representatives on the Jerry Springer show, all the judge shows as stated above, and don't even get me started on the view!

Yeah no wonder they hate our guts, eh?

I've been saying this for years and years. Many people abroad are blind to majority/real America. They see our TV and say, "Are they all like that?" The foreign view of the United States is drowning in misinformation, misunderstanding and plain old bias. For starters = WE AREN'T ALL FAT/OVERWEIGHT!!

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 ."

Yes, there seems to be a pattern like this that runs thru the Judge Judy show.

Who is this Judge Judy? some sort of fembot?

Hitman · 12-23-06, 11:39 AM

I don't know about that Judge Judy, but I have seen in the german cable TV siilar programs. Here in Spain we had loooong ago a program were minor civil cases were trialed not as real trials but throught a "referee contract" by an old, retired magistrate of the supreme court. Felt like killing spiders with a gun, ad it was also terribly boring.Why is it that those of us who work in real life in the courts don't find it entertaining nor in real life or in TV? It doesn't but amaze me that people are interesting in watching in the TV such stupid trials, but come to think of it there's possibly some worser rubbish with high audience rates....

One of those TV judges was also a referee, boxing I think. I can't remember his name though, a little bald headed guy with a little big man attitude. Anyone know?

I have to admit he was fun to watch now and then, but by and large those shows just irritate me. It's why I don't have network TV. If I want to watch something i'll just get the dvd.

Judge Mills Lane! That guy rocked.

He was also a voice actor for the MTV series Celeberty Death Match!

I have to say, I was a little annoyed to go to Russia this summer and discover that even they are running their own Judge Judy and Divorce Court clones. Thought it'd get old now, but, alas - reality TV is really the plague of the last few years everywhere, and probably next few.

Luckily for me, I actually stopped watching TV altogether here about 4 years ago
