I have been Watching judge Judy for years. it's just so funny to see our court system being wasted with such stupidity. people suing other people for stupid things. it does makes the show more interesting. It should be considered a comedy show! One comment i have is to some of the people who have appeared. To be a person on national TV in front of millions and looking like you just rolled out of bed should be a crime in its self. if I'm not mistaken I just watched a lady On a particular episode that was wearing pajamas. you're in the court of law at least look More presentable. other than that is a great show. I love it I watch every night before bed and I hope it's on for years to come

I used to watch Judge Judy years ago and always thought she was hard but fair. Today I turned on the TV and she was on, so settled down to watch. To say I'm shocked is an understatement! She came across as an abusive, belligerent bully! She wouldn't let anyone explain anything or get a word in edgewise. She thought the plaintiffs were upset over nothing and called them 'sickos', even though she ruled in their favour. She said the plaintiff was a sicko, the husband was a sicko and he was married to a sicko! It was disgusting beyond belief! Does she know the definition of 'sick'? I will never, ever watch this show again, and I hope it's taken off the air soon, as years of telling people what to do seems to have gone to her head.

I love Judge Judy's show. I read a lot of the Users' reviews, here on IMDb, and I gather that a lot of these people are exactly like the spoiled, self-centered, entitled idiots that appear on the show! No wonder they hate to see her preach common sense and practical law at the morons in front of her!! These Users whine, "She's rude", "She has no empathy", and crap like that. Give me a break! The plaintiffs are taking the defendants to COURT, not to therapy! The law is cold and hard and based on facts, not feelings. I have never seen the judge make a ruling that violate any applicable law. These haters are just bratty little kids. If you want to see losers get spanked in public, WATCH JUDGE JUDY!!

The scowling Judith Sheindlin is paid a very substantial amount of money to be mean and rude to poor people. Never before had anyone been paid SO much money to be so mean to so many people who have so little money. She looks very happy and friendly, smiling in the photo they show on the advertising to watch her show, but she says things to the "contestants" in her courtroom which we certainly would NOT tolerate if they were said by publicly paid judges. The insults we hear her hurl are often very offensive. "Shhhh!!!" and "just a second," she often admonishes the parties politely; but it doesn't take much for her to move on to her more natural rudeness. While she admonishes contestants not to use their own vernacular as the try to tell her their stories, she has no hesitation using Yiddish words that many or most of them don't understand. I wonder how often people are puzzled at the possible meaning of "kerfuffle." I do have to confess, I wouldn't mind hearing her explain to many of them that "axe" is not the way to pronounce "ask." Still, if you enjoy watching the wicked witch of the west in a nicer looking form, as she berates poor people, Judge Judy may be for you. I just don't think it is right for society to so substantially enrich an already wealthy woman who seems to so much enjoy being nasty to people.
