While (as another reviewer pointed out) California judges are elected, most of them are appointed when there is a vacancy and face only a re-election where they are rarely opposed.
But Kate Walsh's character goes WAY over the line. Putting a fire ax into a tire would have been a criminal act -- the sort of thing that gets a judge up before the review board, probably dismissed if not disbarred as well.
The worst part is Kate Walsh has generally played beautiful, classy women and this character is a tramp.
The show has a judge routinely getting drunk (borderline alcoholic), breaking laws and abusing authority.
If you can suspend disbelief, you can enjoy it.

watched this just based on Kate Walsh starring. from the starting seconds I was hooked, she was great. when I saw the Dr take the stand all I could think was Dick from "Veronica Mars" and it was clear they were involved.
It was funny, not tearing up funny but still good. Its very clear a=our leading lady has a big heart, rushing off to help a young boy who's parents she sent down.
Apparently Will Farrell is some kind of creator or producer, I hate him, to me nothing he does is ever funny, remotely. Yet this show reminds me of him or would even make me think he was involved. I hope this great new show gets a chance to bloom, so many good shows get cancelled while absolute rubbish is allowed multiple seasons. Give this show a chance, its definitely a good one.

We've seen a Bad Santa and a Bad Teacher. Now we have "Bad Judge", perhaps an ill-titled show that is really funny. It seems many viewers rejected this show after viewing the first episode--a common mistake. Rebecca Wright is much more than the bed-hopping, careless woman many saw in the pilot.
As we discover, there is something she desires more than pleasure--it's justice, even at the cost of bending the rules (of law, society or order). She not only flaunts the rules of propriety; she flaunts the common, unspoken rules of society, like "go along with the crowd" and "don't rock the boat". That makes her a rebel, but she has a cause.
She also has a remarkable track record--in law school, as an attorney, and (in the eyes of her managing judge) on the bench.
She also happens to be damn funny and quite attractive. This is "New Girl" but with a more traditional comic style, featuring punch lines more that odd behavior. From what I have read, this show is being cancelled, but I am a fan of Kate Walsh now.
How can so many people watch Judge Judy--a totally unfunny woman with very little civility in her nature--when there's a Judge Wright who is hilarious, compassionate and surrounded by other actors who are funny in their own wrights?

Now that Bad teacher is canceled you can watch Bad Judge instead!
It's a show about a sexually liberal woman who happens to be a ...judge! She has sex in her office (and everywhere else), she uses the court's bailiff to dispose her used pregnancy test, and...well..you can imagine the rest.
The premise is impossible, so it's all about how funny it actually is.
Will Ferrel serves as an executive producer so you can understand the type of jokes you get with this. After you get pass the "she is a judge" part there ain't so many jokes to have fun with. With these professional comedians it feels more like a sketch of "Funny or die" or something.
Of course the good (erase that) bad judge has also a big heart. Like bad teacher (the series) if you ever were watching the show. She cares about the children of the people who gets behind bars.
Overall: Not bad bad. But I think the premise will worn out pretty quick.

They should stop producing these shows for the US TV and air it in Europe or somewhere else the ratings would be totally different.
I don't know what it is these days but a lot of great shows get canceled maybe Americans don't get sarcasm or black humor as Europeans do , or simply don't like it, and all those great shows get these ratings and got canceled it makes me just sad because those are great shows and are fun to watch.
So maybe try produce some of these shows just for the European market i would bet on it the ratings would be higher than in the us.
So i wish this show to come back.
