• I love this show and have since the beginning! Judge Judy is a fair, no-nonsense woman who knows the law and does not allow those who run afoul of the law to get away with it. I appreciate, admire and respect her direct, go for the throat style. We live in a society of pansy whiners who get offended over every little thing and believe they should be pandered to no matter what pathetic they are. If you don't break the law and do the right thing, you have nothing to worry about.

    There is a reason why this show consistently rates high in the ratings and why it has been on the air since 1996. If it was a garbage show, it would have been gone long ago.

    We need more people like Judge Judy in this world. She knows the letter of the law and tells it to others like the straight shooter she is. I'm sorry if the whiners don't like her and label her 'mean' or whatever...don't break the law and you'll have no problem with her :)
