Judging Amy

I absolutely love this show and I am not one to enjoy much television. I enjoy Friends, Oprah, and a few various movies that lose my interest soon after I press play. But something about Judging Amy I absolutely love and anticipate everyday from 11a-1p when it airs on primetime. I love the different cases Amy encounters and I love the suspense leading up to her verdict. I love watching Maxine and her ever exciting DCF cases. They are always original and surprisingly real and a good replication of what actually happens daily with social workers. I love Vincent's excitingly boring life.

Lauren is always up to something interesting. And, overall, I think that it is an excellent show that portrays everyday life of a single mother, grandmother, and family. It is not unreal and does not portray any bizarre, unnatural occurrences. It is innocent and just someone's real life story. Excellent show! LOVE IT!!! Jess

I missed the show the first time around, but now I'm hooked on the reruns. I watch it every day without fail.

The show evokes joy, pain, love, anger, resentment, forgiveness, sadness, hope. We laugh, we cry, we get the warm fuzzies. In addition to the range and depth of emotion, Judging Amy also has a high level of intelligence. The viewer is required to think.

I enjoy how the complex issues of faith and spirituality are addressed with subtlety, tactful wit, and respectful objectivity.

All the characters have engaging, ever-evolving personalities and the way they interact with each other is incredibly fascinating and real.

Best of all, there's Amy. As a character, as an actor, and as a person she is everything a great woman should be. When I think of Amy Brenneman, all the superlative traits beginning with "s" flood my mind: Smart, Strong, Sensitive, Sharp, Sweet, Smiling, Sexy.

A wonderful woman and a wonderful show.

I am an daily watcher of Judging Amy - never thought I would be an addict to any program but I so enjoy this family. They are all so real and such a loving family. I have to say that I adore Tyne Daly as Maxine. She reminds me of my mother-in-law who I miss dearly. She has an awesome sense of humor and I rather imagine she is like this in real life. She is someone I would like to know. All of the characters in this program are truly gifted actors and I am only sad that this show has been canceled. I would watch it all day long if it were on. If there were ever the opportunity for this program to start up again I believe thousands of viewers would be delighted. The endings of each show are so beautiful and heartwarming. I cannot tell you how many times I have cried with each one of your characters. God bless you all for creating a program that is honest and moral...one that enriches me just by watching it.

It was a sad day when I learned this amazing show was canceled. This show had everything needed to last for years to come. The show had great actors, wonderful supporting cast, and gripping story lines. I felt that Amy Brenneman's character, Amy Gray, was one that could be related to on all levels. All of the characters had such solid structure, whether they were re-occurring players, or regulars. In my opinion, CBS made a dreadful mistake with this decision. I do look forward to more work from Amy Brenneman, her talents are so very under-rated. I for one will certainly miss it. Now all I can do is wait for the DVDs to be released.

As a TV drama addict, I have to admit that the premise for this show did not inspire me.

How wrong I was.

The storylines are challenging and the actors all give fine balanced performances.

My greatest praise, however, is reserved for Tyne Daly. Her performance as Maxine Grey is one of the best I have ever seen on TV.

She deserves an Emmy.
