Author Topic: Whos Your favorite TV Judge? Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-13-2005 01:58 PM                     Back when I was recovering from my surgery I was amused by the many TV court shows. Some of the shows are beyond stupid such as "Divorce Court".... for instance one black husband was divorcing his wife for eating too much candy..... almost 200.00 a weeks worth ! But the coolest judge IMHO has got to be Judge Joe Brown... this is a guy that can hear any type of case and he keeps his cool and gives the folks on trial some good advice in a nice way. Joe Brown just seems like a fair guy to me..... Years ago an ex-employer of mine was on Judge Wappners show... After watching the precedings I thought he deserved to loose..... and he did . Anyway if any of you watch these stupid shows(I rarely do now) whos your favorite judge?

But now they are really that stupid that it is not worth seeing it. My favourite judges were Barbara Salesch & Alexander Hold (Note: Those judges are from a German TV station not from a US one).  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 08-13-2005 02:45 PM                     Judge Judy is a bitch and shouldn't even be able to practice law in any form. Her attitude and scolding towards the people involved in the case is offensive and she is far from fair.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-13-2005 02:53 PM                  I totally agree, Brad... what an arrogant old bitch! As others have mentioned, I also like Judge Brown and the lady judge on "Peoples Court".  |  IP: Logged Robert Harrison Expert Film Handler Posts: 239 From: Harwood Heights, Illinois, USA Registered: Jun 2005 posted 08-13-2005 04:11 PM                     Some of my favorites include Judge Reinhold, Judge Dredd and Judge Roy Bean.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: Boulder Creek, CA.

I love when he summarizes the case and makes somebody look like a moron. Priceless...  |  IP: Logged Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 08-13-2005 04:49 PM                        quote: Brad Miller Judge Judy is a bitch and shouldn't even be able to practice law in any form. Her attitude and scolding towards the people involved in the case is offensive and she is far from fair. Which is exactly why I LIKE her show. Stupid liars and jerks get told off, which is refreshing compared to the "real" court system where the guilty are found not guilty. BTW An old friend of my dad's that I knew most of my childhood once appeared on Divorce Court. Everything the wife said about him was absolutely true from my own first-hand knowledge of the guy (child abuse, wellfair fraud, etc.), yet the judge didn't buy it and ruled in favor of him. I was thinking "Well there's a case where the bad guy won..."  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-13-2005 06:47 PM                        I like Judge Judy the best. She takes no crap from anyone. The best is when some dork gets in there and THINKS he's going to be able to get the best of her and of course is never successful. As for her being fair -- you have to remember she's read all the paperwork in the complaints and the answers before she meets the litigants. So she might already have some idea of her decision in mind before she takes the bench, and in a lot of cases only needs to talk to the people so she can decipher which story makes more sense -- or to confirm or clarify details. (A judge told me that.) I used to enjoy Judge Wapner on The People's Court. He more recently had a similar show on Animal Planet where all the cases involved animals, but it was (as you can imagine) boring.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 08-13-2005 06:50 PM                     I've never put enough thought into it to consider that Judge Bitch had previously gone over the case, but still, some of the things she does in the courtroom are terribly unprofessional behavior. It gives the legal system a lousy image on tv.  |  IP: Logged Robert Harrison Expert Film Handler Posts: 239 From: Harwood Heights, Illinois, USA Registered: Jun 2005 posted 08-13-2005 06:52 PM                     Hey, Mike, I saw some of those Animal Planet shows. My favorite was the one where the weasel sued the monkey for chasing him around the mulberry bush.  |  IP: Logged Jim Ziegler Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 753 From: West Hollywood, CA Registered: Jul 99 posted 08-13-2005 07:05 PM                     I think Judge Judy is wonderful.. Actually, she got that show because of her reputation when she was a family court Judge in NY. You try to BS her or lie to her, you get pounced on. You are honest and take resposibility for your actions, she is much nicer..  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.

Judge Judy (Judy Rules) 2. Judge Marilyn Millyan (Peoples Court) 3. Judge Larry Joe Brown - Texas Justice 4. Judge Mathis - He was a bad kid. Now a Judge.
