judy justicia

For some reason they've dropped Byrd and brought in 3 characters.

1 stenographer A bailiff and a random girl that sits there looking startled.

Then at the end there's a stilted, awkwardly acted small discussion about the preceding case... Turn it off before that scene, its so cringey my eyes turned inside out and now I can see Thursdays.

I remember watching the Peoples Court with Judge Wapner. It's obvious Judge Judy is intelligent and quick witted but I don't like how she treats people that are honest and polite. She's consistently nasty to everyone, but I guess that's her shtick.

This new formula is nothing new except that it doesn't seem as polished and well produced. I'm also not a fan of discussing the case with her granddaughter after every case--it makes no sense. It's like all these reality shows with a panel of overly dramatic fake judges who aren't even needed because the audience votes are supposed to be what matters.

I don't see this show lasting more than a single season. It's certainly not going to have the same viewership numbers and demographic as network TV.

My opinion has changed since early episodes of the series. The series has flaws. Stretching cases much too far, bad decisions. But still very watchable. Sara Rose & Whitney Kumar were tough to watch early. But I believe they're being utilized better. Sara Rose is actually disagreeing with JJ decisions in the chambers. Cases are more interesting. Even going back to previous testimony with stenographer Whitney Kumar isn't being forced. But, is flowing much better. I now rate Judy Justice 7*.

UPDATE: SEASON 3 Show has really nosedived with poor case selection, and braindead litigants overload. Even a mildly interesting case is a cut and dry obvious decision. Many being basic money owed. Good interesting cases are few and far between.

The new bailiff is a very pleasant man. But. Officer Byrd left a BIG hole.

The other people are fine, too. But, without Byrd, it just ain't the same.

Hate the ending talk with Sarah! Sarah adds nothing to the show. She is just there because Nana is the star! Any producer with a spec of sense would see that! Keep Judy and bailiff, get rid of the other two!
