I suppose that I am as guilty as the next person of watching the tragic, cruel, and often hateful things that people do to one another on reality TV. Insert the meanest thing you ever saw on 'Survivor', 'Rock Of Love', 'The Hills' or even the 'Apprentice' here.
But everyone now and then there's nothing better at 'cleansing the palette' than a dose of law & order reality TV style. Our DVR at home is full of episodes from these dispensers of daytime justice.
The cases typically run the gamut of friends, family, business partners, and complete strangers bringing charges against one another. The conflicts range from petty grievances and misunderstandings to surreal episodes that can't be described without pictures and a vivid imagination. Those are my favorite!
Thank goodness that we can rely on road tested 'judicial' wisdom from people like Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown and, if you're lucky enough to have him in syndication where you live, the world famous Judge Wapner.
Anybody out there a fan of these TV Judges? A fan of one we might have missed? Please mention them below and let us know, we'll try to include them next time we tackle this topic.
Court adjourned!

81. I don't watch such drivel, watching people with no self-respect making fools of themselves in public. For what, a few bucks or their "moment in the spotlight"? Others may be amused or entertained by such "garbage". That is their choice. But, amusing or entertaining myself at the expense of others, even if done by them voluntarily, is not something that commands any of my attention. I have better things to do with my time.

83. Judge Judy is on at least her second marriage. Not hard to tell why. She is an arrogant bitch.

90. "Unimpressed," only a moron types with the Caps Lock key engaged. I doubt very seriously that anything you say impresses anyone. Go chase an ambulance or whatever bottomfeeders like you do.

94. First of all,Judge Judy is a nasty,hateful,vindictive woman that shows no compassion and understanding for anyone in her courtroom.Second,the courtroom is no place for a television camera(excluding movies and tv shows).This judicial system may have fairness in a few things but,it has so many glitches in it that it is a miracle that things still turn out fair.

95. Judge Judy is not only smart but she is sharp. i envy her. she should be president of the U.S. And to top it off she is extremely entertaining. She had no patients for non-functioning people in society. lol

96. I watch Judge Judy, Judge Marilyn Milian, and Judge Alex. I suppose it's inevitable when they have to follow the law, but I dislike it when I feel they've made up their minds before both sides of the case have been presented.

97. Judy sure likes to say shush to people. If I had a buck for every time she does that, I'd be rich.
