JUDGE JUDY

[Joezeppy]

Not a fan of the show, but am truly amazed at what so many Americans find interesting on TV.

Agree - I know everyone has different tastes but I just can't see the attraction of these shows. And so many shows start out ok but morph into reality shows. We started watching "American Ninja Warrior" a couple of years ago and I found it quite interesting watching the contestants make it through the challenges. Now, it's all about who has the best/worst sob story or who can put on the biggest show. Every contestant has to have a gimmick.  It's all about the drama! Stopped watching it.

I think if I wanted to speed up the often backlogged small claims court process, I would offer the other party to my case private binding arbitration with a mutually agreed on arbitrator rather than a public spectacle with an arbitrator that's more interested in ratings than fairness and the law.

When I was in the hospital after my DVT, stuck in a semi-private room, the room-mate was a Judge Judy fan.
It was a blessing when the Doc ok'd me getting up and walking around. I could skip the show.

Might not be much fun. When we lived in Vegas they were shooting the show Circus of the Stars. My kids and I went to be ?audience members?. Long, mostly boring day. For each act there were many takes and a lot of discussion between takes. They did pass out popcorn and I got to be within an arms length of Brooke Shields.

You thought being next to Brooke Shields was boring!!!  ;D ;D ;D

That might have been at around hour 5 or 6.
