Judge Judy (ITV)

If you like laughing at peoples stupidity and ignorance then Judge Judy just might be a programme you will like, it is an American Court programme se up a bit like a small claims court in that people bring their grievances and cases in front of a judge, in this case former judge Judith Sheindlin, and agree to be bound by any decision she makes. They represent themselves so no lawyers in this show, they can bring one witness or just someoe for moral support and basically the complainent presents their case and then Judy starts asking the tough questions of either party. I love Sheindlin, she is a tough as nails Jewish woman in her fifties who hails from New ...  Read the complete review

Judge Judy is one of those programmes that you can't not watch. It's oddly addictive, whilst being utterly rubbish at the same time. The only way you can really understand what I mean is by watching it - then you'll see! But before you do go down a path that you can never return from, you should have an idea of what you're getting yourself into. -So, who is Judge Judy?- Well, she is Judith Sheindlin, a former family court judge from New York now based in Hollywood (where else?!). She now arbitrates over small claims cases for the general viewing public in the form of the reality show Judge Judy. Judge Judy is a no-nonsense ...  Read the complete review

Judge Judy is one of those shows that is so naff it's brilliant. It's one of those programmes that you sit and watch with the curtains closed (no, not one of them programmes, get your mind out of the gutter lol) because it's too embarrassing to admit that you actually enjoy it. Basically Judge Judy (Judith Sheindlin) is a real judge, formerly of the family courts (US courts). She hears cases that have been filed in the small claims court, the cases are picked up by the television company and if suitable they'll be heard by Judge Judy. So the ones picked have a reasonable amount of to-ing and fro-ing to make them interesting for television, of course an ...  Read the complete review

If I ever need to take anyone to court, I hope I get a judge of the same calibre as Judge Judy. This show airs on ITV2 every night between 6 and 7 pm. It features Judge Judy Sheindlin, and her trusty court guard Byrd, and it shows Judge Judy presiding over a variety of small claims cases. Lets start with the people actually bringing their cases onto this show. In true American style, this is very much the same kind of scenario's that play out on the Jerry Springer show. Thus a selection of relationship difficulties, with unlikely couples arguing over who paid for the ring and the bed. Most of the cases make you kind of feel "only in America", and you ...  Read the complete review

Judge Judy is one of those shows that you watch and have to think to yourself ' Only In America'. The program is presented by Judge Judy Sheindlin who is in fact a real judge and the program takes place in her courtroom. The show is set in a court room because the show deals with legal cases with people filing complaints against other people for various reasons and Judge Judy decides what action should be taken after all the evidence and stories have been heard. The judgements however are only money matters as the plaintiff puts in a complaint and decides how much money they feel they deserve either due to damage, theft or emotional stress and after hearing ...  Read the complete review
