The Absolute Best Court Show

She is miles ahead of the other copycat courtroom shows that cannot even begin to compare with Judge Judy. Some of the other shows, like Divorce Court with the flamboyant three inch nails Judge Maybleen borders on the camp and ridiculous. As for Judge Judy, here is truth and realism. I try to watch it as often as can. Judge Judy is no one's fool and is as articulate and intelligent a person as anyone could aspire to be----a real and true role model. She can spot a liar in a blink of one eye. I admire her and find her show refreshing and educational as well. For those who think she is curt or rude, well, she does not take the crap these people are dishing out to win their cases. You think she's rude, too bad, watch some other show. The other shows are entertainment. Judge Judy is the real deal.
