Ok anyone familiar with Judge Judy?

[bluestarone]

We watched and episode 2 days ago. Retired lawyer with GRAY hair sued this lady for cutting his hair wrong. Judge Judy was asking him questions and he stated he was a lawyer. She said well that makes this even DUMBER! He was trying to tell her things and She CUT him OFF saying this is STUPID. Ruled that he gets his $10 back, but he wanted MORE! She said we're DONE! Then when the two walked out of courtroom the grey haired guy said he said he's a tRUMP lover and the barber was a tRUMP HATER so she cut his hair down to the skin so he sued her! Just thought i'd mention this here! Couldn't believe he sued her! LOVED it tho!!

[question everything]

1. See if he can find another lawyer

May have to travel to Kentucky

[FarPoint]

2. Well, sounds like Judge Judy was right once again...

DUMB Lawyer who didn't present his case....he should of said the key point gor HIM first....Did he have photos of hair cut suppoprt such a scalping?

[bluestarone]

4. Yes there we're pictures BUT (was somewhat shorter)

Judge Judy just thought No harm done, just refunded money ($10) She Thought he was an IDIOT!

[FarPoint]

6. She has good insight...

A favorite of mine....

[CincyDem]

3. Judge Judy is a total hoot.

My 94 year old mom often has it running in the background and not a day goes by when I don't drop in and find something going on in that "courtroom" that is funnier than most SNL skits.

The best ones are the "whose dog is this" complaints. Auto repair skits are pretty good too.

[bluestarone]

5. It is fun to watch!

Get some CRAZY people on there for sure!

[Rhiannon12866]

11. My mother in her 80s always had Judge Judy on too!

[magicarpet]

7. Calif. Rep.Nunes or Nunes' brother ?

[bluestarone]

8. HaHAHa!

Gotta be Same bloodline for sure!

[aikoaiko]

9. Judge Judy is in its 24 season and reupped for one more.

She's an institution.

[PatrickforO]

10. Funny. Judge Judy has a really low tolerance for bull puckee. n/t

[backscatter712]

12. That show is a game show that pretends to be a courtroom.

Take it for what it is.

[stopdiggin]

19. yep. purely sorry for anyone

that is trying to take away anything real from this. About as far away from anything "legal" as you could possibly get. I guess people are entertained .. as if that's reason enough.
(I personally can't last 3 minutes)

[murielm99]

28. Someone tried to get us to go on Judge Judy

over a totally bogus, blown-up case over a dog we were fostering for our daughter. Judge Judy's producer called us. He was a complete turd. We called our daughter's lawyer. The lawyer made sure the Judge Judy show left us alone after that.

[stopdiggin]

33. yeah. anything really legal. RUN!!! --(nt)

[backscatter712]

47. Exactly - if I ended up in a serious legal matter,

I'd follow the conventional advice. I'd lawyer up and shut up, and I certainly won't make the mistake of turning the case into a total dumpster fire by going on a reality show.

[Zorro]

46. I'd rather slit my throat than appear in front of Judge Judy

[OnlinePoker]

13. I seem to recall that everyone gets paid no matter what.

If someone sues for $5k and loses on camera, they still get what they asked for. Any person ordered to pay doesn't do it out of their own pocket, the show covers it. Also, all of the people watching in the court are extras that have to have a SAG membership. Nobody can walk in off the street to watch the proceedings.

[MichMan]

18. I think that each person gets a set amount and the judgement offsets some of that

If each person gets $5000 for appearing and there is a $3000 judgement, one walks away with $2000 and the other with $8000 is my understanding.

[USALiberal]

14. One of the stupidest shows ever. nt

[MichMan]

15. The guy was an idiot

He was suing for $5000 because his hair was cut too short The judge asked him if it had grown out to his normal length and he said yes. She said she didnt understand exactly how he was damaged and awarded him the $10 he paid for the haircut

It wasnt until afterwards that he claimed it wss done in spite because he was a Trump supporter and that he wasnt allowed to present his argument. Barber said she had no idea who he voted for before cutting his hair.

The judge was just angry that he filed a $5000 lawsuit over a $10 haircut and wasnt very interested in hearing his excuses

[bluestarone]

30. I wasn't able see it from beginning

Didn't know how much he was suing her for, but heard the ending, and thought what a dumb asshole!!

[AlexSFCA]

16. it's an entertainment and Judy delivers!

I watch as a comedy, folks who participate know exactly what it is about and need to play the role. BTW, not that it matters at all, Judge Judy endorsed Bloomberg for president.

[MichMan]

17. Highest paid person on TV year after year

[stopdiggin]

20. seriously? is that true? (nt)

[Stuart G]

21. Yes, Judge Judy is paid 47 million a year.

260 odd episodes, taped over just 52 days a year. So every day Judge Judy works, she is paid over 900 thousand a day. Not bad.

[AlexSFCA]

22. she flies on her private jet to film the show once a week

impressive woman and achievement. You can’t BS her.

[Stuart G]

24. I think she has the highest daily ratings of any daily TV show..

That is why she is paid so much. I don't think any actor is paid $900,000 a day for working. Yes, some get a whole lot for a movie, but the movies take a long time to film. If she works an 8 hour day, that is about $108,000 an hour. Or $1800 per minute.

[MichMan]

23. She produces many of the other court shows too

[bluestarone]

29. TY

I had no idea! I would NEVER go there but it is entertaining! Like i said some weird people on there!

[underpants]

25. She blows Ellen away in ratings. Used to be the same with Oprah.

When Oprah supposedly dominated markets. A lot of people watch her.

[catbyte]

26. I remember seeing a rerun from 2016 several months ago where a woman was suing a jerk for

vandalizing her car because she had a Hillary Clinton bumper sticker on it. Judge Judy was merciless towards the defendant and really let him have it. Then she awarded the plaintiff every penny she was aking for. I'm sure she leans conservative given her views on things, but she doesn't suffer fools or scofflaws lightly.

[bluestarone]

31. LMAO!

Good entertainment i guess!! I was just amazed when the guy said he was tRUMP lover and she was a Trump Hater!

[bullwinkle428]

42. I recall a discussion recently where she was talking about how Bloomberg would make

a great candidate for President. I think she is a personal friend of his, for what it’s worth.

[bluedye33139]

27. I missed the after judgment trash talk! Omg

He was asinine in every way possible.

[bluestarone]

32. He truly was that!

[MichMan]

34. Funny episode a couple days ago.

Great episode a couple days ago. Younger guy rents a house for a week to go ice fishing with him and a few buddies. They start drinking and decide to use the roof of the house as a ski jump with a snowmobile.

Homeowner claims ceiling has cracks and sues for the damage. The best part is when the defendant says no one told him or posted a sign saying you cant drive snowmobiles on the roof, so he thought it was OK. He lost.

[bluestarone]

35. WOW!

Blame it on the homeowner, for no signs?

[MichMan]

37. His other argument was that a roof was designed to withstand much higher loads

than a snowmobile weighs, so it couldn't have caused any damage. Judy asked him if he had an Engineering degree.

[bluestarone]

39. His answer was

NO right? Then she would say ok you lose!

[DeminPennswoods]

36. Judge Judy was an actual family court judge

in Manhattan. I'm sure she's heard every case that comes in front of her before in her prior career.

[bluestarone]

38. I knew she was a judge and

I'm sure she's heard it ALL!!

[DeminPennswoods]

40. There's some crazy stuff in family court

cases.

[backscatter712]

41. Even though it's a game show, it has its moments...

[Joe941]

44. She has endorsed Bloomberg for president.

[apcalc]

45. Two of my favorite Judge Judy sayings:

1) Stop BS ing me- “Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining.”

And

2) For young women especially on the importance of education- “Beauty fades- dumb is forever.”

[UniteFightBack]

48. Judge Judy don't play. nt
