Judge Judy’s new show on the new IMDBtv channel. If you have Amazon Prime Video you can stream it daily from there.

i hate myself but will watch

The nastiest old bitch that ever nastied bitch

I don't get the appeal of this old shrew.

R3 = Petri Hawkins-Byrd, former bailiff.

[quote]I don't get the appeal of this greedy old shrew.

fixed that

I love the new format. Not quite as well as Judge Judy but almost.

Oh good lord that hairdo has got to GO

You can stream it for free on the imdbtv app.

I used to watch Judge Judy's schtick but the amusement wore off. Hearing somebody scream 'You're a MORON!" or "You're an IDIOT!" wears thin after a while.

You must be new to the DL.

Is she channeling RBG with that new 'do?

My friend worked in local tv. She was friends with Judy’s right hand man (agent type always with her) anyhow, a local sleezball ambulance chaser lawyer used Judge Judy’s image to create a commercial for his law firm as if Judy was in it willingly (he cut himself into the courtroom so she would speak then he answered and it came out like she was endorsing this piece of trash lawyer) Well my friend was rip shit but he advertised on her station spending 6 figures so they treated him like gold so she knew if she complained, she would lose her job. Her morals kicked in so she tells her friend (Judy’s right hand guy named Gary) He was incensed. He asked my friend to get him the tape since he was in LA with Judy and she was in local news where the commercial ran on the east coast. She told him it was a risk to her job as she was a single mother who barely made ends meet but he said she would not be found out. That was true yet here’s the bullshite part of this story: He took the credit for this to Judy, Judy SUED the scummy attorney and won $75K for “using her likeness without her permission” yet the friend never even gave my friend a damn penny. $75K to Judy or even Gary is like 10 bucks to the rest of us. My friend didn’t say anything about it for years until recently she told me this story (she has surgery and was loopy and in hospital when a Judy advertisement came on and it triggered her) So I hate this cunt with a passion. Then she shows her true colours with leaving her old Baliff behind not telling him she had a new show lined up. Fuck you Judge Cheap Ass Judy! By the way, my friend ended up having to cut her career short because of her health and is now struggling even more on disability. But Gary has ghosted her since she’s not working in ‘the biz’ anymore.

She really thinks she’s RBG with that hairdo.

The new format is shit. A court reporter?? WTF? And that little bumper with the law clerk at the end is for simps only. Well, at least that sneering do-nothing Byrd is gone.

The law clerk is her granddaughter. The court reporter is pretty useless too. Of course she wants to showcase her granddaughter with the little tag at the end. Byrd was a prick (Vanna White does more than him), but he was loyal to her for a long time. If she wanted to go in a different direction with the bailiff (she claims) why not do an Asian female or something. Hiring another black guy to do it is a giant fuck you to Byrd. Don’t give me your bs about Byrd being priced out when you and Amazon have half the worlds money.

I would tune in to watch Judy Jetson.

It’s not that the same without bird.

The tenant and defendant in episode 5 are both hot.

They need to completely gut the supporting cast. They’re a waste of space.

I mean plaintiff and defendant.

She's talked about her children and grandchildren so much like she's the only person who is a grandmother, though , of course, Judy has been quite a mutha all right! She should have ended things with Byrd better, but damn, she made you a multi-millionaire for years of mainly doing crossword puzzles on air, bringing paper back and forth sometimes and occasionally looking tough and walking over to the defendant and/or plaintiff if they are acting unruly and sometimes escorting them out. Vanna White does do more, and she offers cheery words at the end of each show, too!

Byrd’s gruff attitude was a feature, not a bug. Even though the show was filmed in LA, they tried to pretend it was New York. Byrd’s attitude is typical of public employees in New York, so it made it authentic.

It's kinda funny that people suddenly care about Byrd.

He was useless. He made millions doing nothing. Maybe it's time for someone else to make that kind of money.

I watched the 1st episode. One word: UGH!

Also why did they increase it to $10,000? I thought money was tight on streaming.

Episode 6 was the best one yet. Judy reads the plaintiff for filth.

"Judy Justice" sounds like a particularly lame '70s superhero.

Is the little interview section at the end meant to soften her up? Prime her bobblehgead granddaughter to take over? What???? DUMP IT!!

I bet Bryd has some type of pension or ongoing agreement with Judy's old contract, which probably excluded Bryd from joining her on Judy on the new show.

[quote] Also why did they increase it to $10,000? I thought money was tight on streaming.

No, it depends on the dollar limit for small claims court in the state in which the claim was initially filed. Those litigants must live in a state where the limit is $10K. Most states have a max of $5K.

Hate her. Don't hate much, but hate her, hate her old show, hate her new show.

She's the patroness for smug old boomers and sad housebound conservative cunts who want to feel superior to other people, and she gives people that every day.

R3 if it wasn't for Judy, Byrd would still be at the Family Court on Lafayette Street in New York.

Judy always corrected people's grammar, but often said she felt "badly."

Byrd was making $3 million for working 52 days a year. I think he’ll be fine.

I like Sonia Montejano on hot bench better.

R31 she’s silent generation. There is a huge difference between her and the boomers born only five years after her. I think she is very poster child silent generation, interesting that you see it a different way.

R33 is that wrong? Adverb to modify verb?

This new show is interminable. My husband loves her, I can't stand her. We watched one episode and the changes are atrocious and boring. What city are they supposed to be in now? Miami?

Byrd can suck it. She doesn't owe him employment. She kept him on her show for 20 years and he was paid well for it.

I used to date a guy 20 years ago who was a social worker . I couldn't figure out why because she's a nasty, shrewish control freak: but he said since he spent his days having listen to fucked-up poor people whine about their problems and was forced by the exigencies of his job to pretend to be sympathetic, it was a huge relief to watch someone listen to similar sorts of problems but from similar people and have them get chewed out, "as they should be," he added, "for being such fuck-ups."

He hated his job.

I love when she says "hurry up, I have things to do today". I would respond "bitch, this is your job. you have nowhere else you should be!".

[quote] I used to date a guy 20 years ago who was a social worker .

Sorry: I meant to add, "and who loved watching Judge Judy every day."

Seems like she enjoys the work and wanted to make some changes to her other show. CBS wouldn't allow it because the entire premise of paying her so much money was the library value and being able to re-run old episodes as if they were new. This allows her to revamp the show.

Just imagine her having sex... you idiot...cant you do anything right... i am NOT having that !

[quote] Just imagine her having sex...

***shudder***

R44 probably best doggie style so you can just tune her out and focus on the nut.

It’s unwatchable. She’s subdued and boring and what’s with the skank she sits and talks to? Total disaster.

I watch on IMDB TV. I like it. But then I was always a JJ fan.

Sarah Rose her grand daughter is cute and helpful and I like the tags at the end where she & Judy discuss the case - or rather Sarah listens while Judy talks. The court reporter has read back testimony only once in the first five episodes - but it makes it more like a real court room.

The new bailiff is a husky boy - HUSKY - and seems to be a pleasant guy.

I hand it to Judy that she decided to do something different. Good for her! If you don't like her - don't watch!

[quote] She's the patroness for smug old boomers

She’s not a Boomer.

And Jerry Springer is doing Judge Jerry, a family show. Do these two idiots not realize what it was that made them famous? The two of them can just retire.

Hate JJ

[quote]The 1993 Los Angeles Times article that first brought Judith Sheindlin national attention begins with the case of a crack-addicted mother who gave birth in a bathroom, unattended. The mother pushed, and her infant fell to the floor and broke his skull. Sheindlin, then a Manhattan Family Court judge, wondered aloud if there was anything to be done about the woman. A moment later, she clarified: “Can we stop her from populating half the planet?”

R50 ouch!! As a relative to Jerry, I take offense!

^ of

Fuck you grammar queen! Just, fuck you!!

When Judy tells people to listen to her by saying, "There's a reason you have two ears and one mouth", I wish someone would say, "Yeah, you have two ears too, but I guess he gave you an even bigger mouth!". If someone dared, it would be edited out though. It's one of her standbys from her reliable and overused bag of tricks, and questioning it on tv would take it away from her.

She has made a ridiculous amount of coin insulting people, time to retire, Joodee!

The obviously gay bailiff is interesting.

Her granddaughter hasnt done a single thing Byrd didnt do, R48.

Plus Byrds wife was a producer on the old show, and offered a gig on the new show. She’s been recently sick with cancer, so Byrd has said they are focusing on her recovery. The new bailiff is hardly on screen, whereas the camera pans to her granddaughter a lot. It may be as simple as wanting to showcase her granddaughter instead.

The new bailiff seems nice, a contrast to Byrd.

But...Judy's granddaughter talks like Ivanka Trump.

Pass. Too many dumb people online and irl—it’s not entertaining.

How much money does she need?

Her husband's probably happy she's out of the house.

Insufferable. She’s like the frau version of the Alien Queen.

[quote] No, it depends on the dollar limit for small claims court in the state in which the claim was initially filed. Those litigants must live in a state where the limit is $10K. Most states have a max of $5K.

R30 Her old show had a max of $5,000 regardless of where the litigants are from.

I just st watched the first episode and I he blue haired cretin in the second case made physically ill.

R51, what’s the problem?

Will some one stake this fascist Jewess.

This lying bitch in episode 9 spends the whole episode telling lies that Judy catches her in and crying about her daughter's braces, and I'm so happy her crocodile tears had no effect on Judy. It sucks that she got any money at all. I feel bad for the dude who knocked her up and now has to spend 18 years dealing with her bullshit.

Wasn't "Judy Justice" that short-lived late 1960s dramedy starring Pamela Tiffin as a crusading public defender? I remember she was the only "girl lawyer" on Neil Hamilton's team, and she sparred romantically with adorably aggressive prosecutor James Darren.

R70 I would have defo watched that - especially if Kevin Coughlin played the young hotshot office assistant who drove Pamela around in his Pontiac GTO.

The plaintiff in episode 57 who drunkenly urinated on his landlord’s couch is dreamy.

I thought his name was Burt for over 20 years.

I can't believe anyone here actually watches this dreck!

I've only seen it while trapped in my neighbor's living room, and I could hardly stand it even for those few minutes every now and then.

Gays, I thought we had better taste.

I liked her old show but she's a bit hammy here. The addition of her relatives seems desperate and Cousin-Oliver-esque.

Why is Whitney always so smug & smirky?

Sarah has no sympathy for anyone it appears!

Judge Judy toned down her feistiness. The new show is rather bland.

One of new shows dealt with family and friendship drama. It was so tedious and dull, as it stretched out for two shows. Judge Judy tried to resolve the issue, rather patiently. It was terrible. The old Judge Judy would’ve cut the point, read them the riot act, and tossed them out of court.

But sometimes when they do the wrap up - there's a cute picture of her doggie beside her.

And a mess, R72. You take THAT on and I guarantee mother will be dropping by ALL THE TIME.

Lol r80, true. I can’t believe he wasn’t humiliated being on national television with his balls in mommy’s vice grip like that.

is Judy Justice related to Bufford T.?

Hot Jordanian on today's episode.

On yesterday's episode, I fucking loved when the plaintiff said to her, "Your honor, your cake story is not my story" after Judy gave that pointless analogy about HER parties and HER caterer.

I wonder how many people are actually streaming this? I think there's no way Amazon gives her another $25 million for 120 more episodes. So, she'll soon be free to sit in her mansion in Naples and bitch to Jerry all day long about black welfare queens!

I watch it on IMDB for free.

I like Sarah but Whitney is useless. Kevin is cute.

The litigants are mostly the same, but JJ stretches things out to last a whole episode. And there are the black litigants who still say things like: "....two betrooms", "....at the end of the day...." and "...wha' ha' happen was....."

Or: I’m’a tell you, I was sleep, or had went.

R24 I agree, Byrd made a packet doing shit all, let someone else make a shed load. Retire and enjoy Byrd, Judy was your golden goose.

I like Judy's common sense but she's too harsh on purpose. My dad and I recently watched a string of episodes every day after my mother passed away. Judy was our comfort viewing.

She’s trying too hard to morph into RBG

Judy was one of the most talented singers ever. She also had a lot of pain and struggle throughout her life. Despite that, she had a good heart, which is hard to encounter in Hollywood. At a time when gay people were oppressed beyond belief, they identified with her struggles and she theirs.

What's the story on her bailiff? Some sort of feud?

YOU and YOUR NAME are part of the problem, your Honor.

When I miss my mother, I watch an episode.

I still like the dog cases the best.

Why'd she give up the old show and switch to a streaming service?

She had a very contentious contract negotiation with CBS at the end. She described her leaving as akin to Bill Gates's or Jeff Bezos's divorces.

Show seems on the cheap - even though the settlements are greater. Sometimes there are fewer commercials - lack of advertisers? How does a free service like IMDB make it's money if there isn't any advertising interest?

I’m a Judge Judy fan but I detest her new show. It’s dull, boring, and genetic. Judge Judy ignored the adage “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.”

On her old show, she’d lacerate litigants for their outrageous behavior. She’d throw people out of court for not respecting her. She didn’t tolerate cheats and liars. She called out people for their misconduct, even delving into their criminal histories, their unemployment and abuse of government resources. She exposed corrupt people for their lack of integrity.

Now, she’s Mother Earth. She patiently handles litigants like wayward children. She’s milquetoast. She her coddles the litigants, and rewards them. She fixes “boo boos” with a kiss and a bandaid. Gone is the hard edged, laser focused rulings. It’s just too bad, because the new show can be so much more entertaining. It isn’t.

I agree, the show is genetic--she has her granddaughter sitting right next to her!

My local channel still shows reruns of the original show in her old time slot - 2 episodes 4 p.m. - 5 p.m. daily.

You can really tell the difference in her manner and disposition if you watch the new show and a rerun on the same day. R98 is right.

And I would guess that the ratings on the old shows is about the same as they were for first run shows.....and CHEAPER!!!

ratings *ARE*. Oh dear, myself.

R99, that’s hilarious!

The word should be generic. It’s my mistake; I should’ve proofread thoroughly.

Her second season is supposed to start in November on Amazon.

Her new show has morphed into 'The Apprentice'. She's in Trump's seat, Whitney is in 'Carolyn's' seat (remember her from the first few seasons?) and of course Sara Rose is doing her best imitation of Ivanka Trump. Especially when she goes one-on-one in the 'chambers' at the end.

The reason why she couldn't bring Byrd to this new streaming series is because of the 'no compete' contract she signed with CBS. She could do her new series, but she couldn't bring anyone over from 'Judge Judy' - including Byrd. She explained this back in the Spring. She claimed Byrd was well aware of this.

She also couldn't wear a black robe (why she's in purple) and had to make 'other changes' - like brining in two sidekicks. This was all part of her agreement with CBS in order for her to do her new show.

Byrd seems pretty level-headed. I wonder who's telling the truth, here.

Judy. He had one of the easiest jobs on TV, and was extremely well paid for it. He must v rich and should go enjoy it, he was hardly a reason to watch anyway

She did create another new court show which she is producer, and offered him a position on the show, which he took. I believe it starts in January.

R106 Byrd is not on Hot Bench if that’s the show you’re referring to.

Her new show is boring. Not as good as the original.

[R106] Byrd is not on Hot Bench if that’s the show you’re referring to.

I'm not. She announced this new show in April, 2022. It's called TRIBUNAL.

I don’t care who she votes for. She’s a person.

She was friends with Joan Rivers and I think she's still friends with Cindy Adams. I'm sure she voted for Trump.

Who the fuck cares besides the mentally I’ll on the DL?!

r95 Judy left CBS because CBS woudn't let her tinker with the format. CBS realized years ago they could use reruns for a decade and viewers wouldn't be able to tell the difference. So while there was value in the show and creating new episodes, any changes in format would've clued viewers in to the rerun/new ep mix that CBS wanted to continue with. Judy was tired of it. She wanted a new courtroom, new attitude, new faces, more explanations, etc.

[quote]She was friends with Joan Rivers and I think she's still friends with Cindy Adams. I'm sure she voted for Trump.[/quote]

She is also close friends with Barbara Walters, who is a Dem. She stumped for Bloomberg in the last Presidential Dem primary. I doubt she voted for Trump.

I don't understand why she won't retire. I could understand working if her new projects were a departure from "Judge Judy," but "Judy Justice" just seems like the same thing.

She's got maybe a billion dollars, a huge family, husband, children, grand-children, great-grandchildren.

New season on FreeVue (formerly IMDB TV) on November 1.
