JUDGE JUDY:JUSTICE SERVED

The successful courtroom television series Judge Judy first premiered in 1996 and was the inspiration behind many reality shows, such as Judge Hatchett and Judge Mathis. This compilation features nine episodes, where hard-nosed Judge Judy Sheindlin arbitrates small-claims cases and dispenses intransigent rulings. As with Anne Robinson in The Weakest Link, the popularity of the show is based on Judge Judy's caustic personality, as she repeatedly scolds the plaintiffs for lying or making irresponsible choices.
