Favorite TV Judge?

[txteach]

My favorite judge is Judge Joe Brown. The guy follows the law and is no joke to people who he believes are taking advantage of others or are law breakers. So who is your favorite??

I still can't accept that people would agree to a TV judge, they're all actors, right? Televised car accidents for us to laugh at others.

Skip all the BS, let's just get to Bonaduce fighting a lion already.

Haven't watched any in years but the one that sticks in my mind is Judge (and boxing referee) Mills Lane

[The Toyroom]

Judge Wapner.....all the rest are shams and charlatans IMO

They do it so they don't have to pay the decisions. A fixed amount of money is put into a pot, the cost of the judgment comes out of that pot, and the rest is split between the plaintiff and the defendant.

I like Judge Judy. She doesn't let people get away with anything in her courtroom.

Divorce Court is always fun.

I didn't know that Steve. Judge Judy is a bit arrogant but I have to laugh sometimes that's for sure.

That made me laugh really hard, especially when they announced his replacement Bud Cort.

I like Judge Judy. She is a no nonsense judge who calls people out for lying, cheating, and stealing.

The cases on all of these shows are pretty cut and dry and are almost always related to loan vs. gifts. The verdict is already decided before the case is even heard on tv because there is enough evidence to render a verdict so the judges simply use the opportunity to chastise the wrongdoer or allow them to make fools of themselves on tv.
