The basics here are the same. Judge Judy, the litigants, the audience. But, WHAT is the deal with the young lady sitting beside Judge Judy? What is her purpose? Every time the camera goes to her she's staring at the Judge like a puppy dog. I keep expecting Judy to offer her a cookie or something. MUST be a relative! Anyways, it's a decent watch for when nothing else is on. I do like how they've raised the judgement amounts to $10,000. $5,000 was just too low for this day and age. So, there you have it. It's a slightly less interesting version of her old show. But it's still perfectly watchable if you're into Judge shows! UPDATE: I got curious about who the 'puppy dog' was and searched it. Surprise! It's her Granddaughter. Can we say Nepotism? And I also wondered about her former bailiff. I assumed he had retired since they had been together for 25 years on the old show. NOPE! He did an interview last month and said he wasn't offered a spot on the new show. Didn't even know about it until he saw Judge Judy promoting it on the talk show circuit. Talk about SHAMEFUL! I definitely think a lot less about Judge Judy now for tossing Petri Hawkins Byrd aside like a wadded up Kleenex. Talk about no loyalty!
