Reviews

MARY BRAMBLE It is real, it is pithy, it is brave, it is true. Its characters are each amazing but also flawed. They are real people trying to manage their lives and though struggling with their own personal worries and anxieties, they actually put themselves out for others as well. Together they make up a very believable family who most of us can relate to. The writing is wonderful, the acting exceptional and the plots teach us valuable lessons about such things as empathy, justice and forgiveness, while simultaneously entertaining us to the fullest. It is not overly intellectual but it does make the viewer think, and yes we also laugh and cry, but mostly we have a big smile on our faces. OK it is sometimes in danger of becoming schmaltz but I believe if we all watched this show regularly the world would be a better place.

donbada This program would be useful for training hardened felons basic human emotions. Beyond this purpose, the show has no value other than to fill bandwidth that would otherwise go unutilized in the electromagnetic spectrum. I feel a greater sense of suspense and anticipation listening to a computerized voice chip endlessly droning out the products of a random number generator. Fortunately, the helpful and frequent music cues will tell viewers how they're supposed to feel, in case they are unable to fully internalize the predictable and shallow plot line. I did find Amy to be a superficially positive character, as she is a role model to young women that they can serve in traditionally male fields. Unfortunately, her totally subjective approach to the law is guided solely by whatever capricious personal guidelines Amy elects to employ, resulting in Amy's trials more closely resembling appeals to the personal mercy of a tribal despot than a true administration of justice. This show is unpalatable in any amount, although this is to some extent mitigated after two episodes by the brain's god-given filtering processes, by which the show will thankfully leave the same imprint on the viewer's memory as a television tuned to a dead channel at maximum volume.

misstrish58 Yes, I am curious to know if the rumors that I've heard have any merit to them. Has the show Judging Amy been canceled for the new season beginning Fall 2006? I love this action packed, excellently written/directed show by Amy Brenneman. Just love all the characters/plots to the various episodes. Please respond to my question. So looking forward to a new Season w/Judging Amy.........with Tyne Daly. I have watched the show since it's onset. The plots and scenario's are very true to life issues in everyone life, all walks financial/racial boundaries. I would be ever so disappointed it all we are left with are re-runs and no future for the show.....and crew. EXCELLENTE!!!! Misstrish58

barbara-tan All good things must come to an end ... While I can see how there must come a day for every TV series to come to an end, I think I would be very, very sad to see the end to Judging Amy.Being in Singapore, I'm privileged to still be able to enjoy the series whenever Hallmark decides to carry it, so I plan on enjoying the show while I can.For the record, I would like to applaud the producers, the stars and most of all, the writers and editors of the series for their exceptional work. I have never found any other TV series that is quite so compelling, quite so human and realistic, and quite so beautiful. I cannot even begin to express just how much the series moves me.It is sad that the series is so under-appreciated and that a large number of people actually prefer the more glitzy, glamorous or tawdry stuff. I think it's that much harder to entertain and to hold people's attention without all the razzmatazz and I think Judging Amy not only rose to the challenge, it succeeded in winning ardent fans around the world.Judging Amy proved that family drama can be successful and great, and still be 'ordinary' and 'plain'. In fact, given that today's society has a craving for instant satisfaction, I think it is amazing that the show managed to stay so true to its course and direction. I think it took a lot of courage too.Judging Amy is/was outstanding and it has earned my respect. I really think it is a wonderful series and I would like to thank everyone involved in it for making it happen.Now, if I could only get my hands on every single season of the series on DVDs here in Singapore, it would be like icing on the cake! So far, it doesn't look like it's something that will happen in the near future, but I guess I can be hopeful!Additional Comments: 26 Nov '05 I'm not posting these comments to silence the critics of the Judge Gray character, but more to offer another point of view.I can understand how some may find the character to be annoying, selfish and much too easy with the tears, but the God awful truth of it all is that we're very honest with ourselves, I'm pretty sure we all know someone who is a little bit like that.True, the people we know may not be judges, but I personally know of extremely successful women who have tremendous problems with themselves. In fact, I see a lot of Judge Gray's character in my sister who is now in her late 50's.If I were to look at the Judge Gray character from just a flat, 2-dimensional perspective, then I would see exactly what the critics see and like them, nothing more. But anyone who has given the series time and made the effort to read between the lines rather than look at the obvious would see that the quirky, annoying and totally dysfunctional characters are mere reflections of ourselves.Even Lauren's brattish behavior and Amy's over-indulgence of her is so frighteningly real because the truth is, a lot of kids these days are raised to be brats if not monsters.I'd also like to say that if we find the characters annoying and frustrating, we should give credit to the actors because they actually succeeded in making us relate with them, albeit in a negative manner. If they were lousy actors, I don't think they would be able to rouse such strong feelings in us.Finally, I can't help noticing that most of the criticisms were made by men. My guess is that these men most likely do not understand just how hard women have to struggle and fight in order to 'make it' in this paternalistic world. Sometimes I think we're forced to make some pretty hard choices if we want success, and from personal experience, I can say that the toll exacted is high. Despite this, some women still choose the difficult path and some end up getting more scarred and messed up than others, that's all.I think perhaps one of the strong points of the show is that it tries to show that even judges (note, not just female judges) are human. Back in the sanctuary of their homes, they can and should be allowed to be as vulnerable and stupid as any other 'ordinary' human being. They should be allowed to be as vulnerable as they want to be because the psychological burdens they carry every day are enough to drive any ordinary human being insane. Perhaps, this is why, as another fan has pointed out, the series was named 'Judging Amy' and not 'Judge Amy'. Even its title requires one to read between the lines to see the deeper meaning of it.I'm sorry that there are those who can't find the deeper messages hidden in the series, but I'm glad that there are many who think it to be an excellent show. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the number of men who not only took the time to comment on this series, but who also spoke up in its favor.I don't suppose there is any chance that CBS will reconsider it's decision to end the series? Perhaps someone should start an online petition that can be sent to CBS to have the series reinstated?
