As a native New Yorker, I can say w/authority that Judge Judy sucks. Judge Judy, I sentence you to five hard years on public access television

dont really like her she think she no every thing

she is one mean lady but thats why she still has a show, she is totally scary

Tonight my mother was watching television when she saw Judge Judy on television. I guess Judy was asked to run for president. She said its too stressful of a job!

Judge Judy Rules! She is awesomely bitchy. Just try not to imagine what she would look like without plastic surgery

There are about 500,000 Judge Judies grabbing numbers in any NY deli or bakery any day of the week...okay, with the exception of maybe Saturday. And they're wittier and funnier, too. Retire already.

I recently was a plaintiff in a case before Judge Judy and the primary reason I took it to her show is because I knew that I would win!!!! It was a clear open and shut case about someone failing to pay me for my services. The person even had the ordacity to claim that they did however JJ in her infinite wisdom saw through the BS and granted me a win with a monetary judgement. I was more interested in exposing this person as the liar she truly is even though she did not actually have to pay. And when the show actually airs, this individual will have 10 million plus people seeing her as the liar she is. I must confess before I actually appeared on the show, I did not care for the judge either but she had been able to see through the evidence this was bull and that I was entitled to getting paid!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS JUDGE JUDY!!

She's so annoying and egotistical. Blah!

Do not go on her show unless you have all your facts together. She can be pretty rude, but to be fair, 75 per cent of the folks on her show are complete morons.

She's lke me, she has no tolorence for stupidity. However on the flipside, she is a little rough on some. Most deserve it though, some people are just good at making horrible decisions.

Well I liked her at first but then I read in one of those newspapers (The Globe)that the show is a set up. Think about it...have you noticed how sometimes the people are disrespectful towards her and say stupid things to get her mad? If you're trying to win your case why would you do that!!? I'll tell you why, according to what I read the producers told the people what to do before they go in front of the camera. What's more if they lose their case the show pays the fines etc. In addition they get to stay in free hotel and eat a free lunch while here in Los angeles!!

I, like someone else here, used to want to dig a ditch and toss her into it at one time. Now however, she kills me. She truly knows how to sling crap at people. Nice work.

She sickens me with that malarky tough woman act.

She tells it like it is. Great stuff. However her atitutude is nasty, even when she dosen't have to be.

Although she is often right,her nasty demeanor is incredibly unprofessional.

Hmmm from the responses I am reading Judge Judy is definitely doing her job. I love her no-nonsense approach to every case, even if she is not always accurate. You think she is such a bitch, how bout the some of the idiots that ungrace her courtroom sometimes. You go on with your bad self Judge Judy!!!!!!

You know, sometimes I really agree with Judge Judy. Sometimes she points out things I hadn't noticed. But, I think that many times, she just tries to be a bitch for ratings. I can't stand that 1/2 the time, she won't let people talk because her mind is already made up. I hate that she always takes the word of the elderly for gold. Does she not think there were criminals in the 20's? Well, just because they're old doesn't mean they aren't capable of lying.

A very rude, bitch on wheels. I think anyone with this kind of people skills should never be allowed to be a judge in this country. It is a travesty. But a bigger travesty would be the people that support her nonsense.

I think Judge Judy is great so STOP criticizing her!!! She yells at people because they DESERVE it. They are stupid men who rip off their girlfriends, stupid women who use men for their money, irresponsible, freeloading roommates, and dumb parents who let their kids wreck other peoples' cars. Judge Judy teaches these stupid people a lesson! It is not Judge Judy who I hate, it is the evil gold digging young women on her show who are being sued by men for using them for their money.

I think it is time for this woman to go off of TV! She used to be good, but with all the publicity and HUGE salary, apparently she is becoming strange, because her judgements now seem to have LITTLE to do with the actual law, but depends on whether she LIKES the person or not--and law should not be based on personal whims! Her time has come and gone a long time ago!

TALK SHOW HOST? THAT IS A RIPE ONE. WISH SHE WERE NOT SO RUDE AND UNCARING. HAVE NOT CARED FOR HER SINCE I SAW HER MAKE FUN OF A YOUNG MAN WITH A SPEECH DEFECT. THAT WAS ABOUT AS TALL AS SHE IS....NOT VERY AND DEFINITELY NOT THE PICK OF THE LITTER. SHE SHOULD LEARN TO LISTEN...BUT I SUPPOSE SHE IS TO ANXIOUS TO SPREAD HER OWN BRAND OF CYNICSM

Judge Judy is almost always perfectly fair in making her judgments. And, she is smart enough not to let her emotional guests take control of the situation. She knows exactly what she is doing.

If she thinks that she's impressing me with that loud, not to mention rude mouth of hers, she's sorely mistaken. Your job is to get all the facts from all parties, not just the facts that YOU want to hear.

Judge Judy is living proof that ignorance can be disguised as wisdom when it's covered in a black robe. This woman is so saturated with bias and jaded by her own life experience that her heavy venum drips from the scales of justice and leaves a foul stench on all who seek legal recourse under her warped jurisdiction. She validates my firm belief that common sense is far more valuable than a high IQ.

At first glance I thought this woman was the biggest bitch out there but after I actually watched the show I realized that the people on the show are idiots and deserve to get yelled at. I think it's funny how people think it's wrong for her to yell at these people even though they know that they will be appearing on the Judge Judy show and be treated like idiots before they arrive on the set.

she would be much better if someone would deflate her ego and also remind her that men deserve equal justice in her court

I can't believe that this show is still on the air. To me, it seems that the longer she is on, the ruder that she gets. I hate how she'll yell at the people that are trying to tell their side of the story. Someone will try to tell her something that could help their case and if it's something that she doesn't want to hear it, she'll yell, "I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT!!!". Judging from her age, she should have gotten over menopause a long time ago. Why is she still so snippy and bitchy?

i think that judge judy is one of the smartest, articulate, and straight forward person that i have seen on tv and as a judge. from my point of view, she is professional with litagants that are prepared, reasonable, honest and also professional. if someone comes in there with bs, beating around the bush so that she has to yell for them to get to the point or thinking that they are going to make her believe something that she knows isn't true, i think that they should be given a harsh wake up call such as the one she gives. not only is she funny, but she makes absolute sense and from reading the comments on this board, no one has suggested otherwise. if she is 'unnecessarily harsh' it's because she's spent 24 years on the bench trying to convince people to use their everday common sense. there's no reason (as an adult) to be as stupid as some of the people on the show seem to be. i'm not knockin judge hatchett because that's what works for her, but now a days people eat that sort of kindness and a pat on the butt for breakfast. if my son ever got into trouble and had to go in front of a judge like judy, i'd be happy because that no nonsense, straight forward, snappy attitude would put him right in place.

She is usually right! She's honest and blunt. Often the show is very funny because the people are not very smart.

This show has to be some kind of act. Judge Judy is a "shock Judge" just like Howard Stern is a "shock Jock". The way she demeans people is just outrageous. Her verdicts are based more on emotion then the law. I can't believe anyone would take a case that is important (to them) and let that idiot decide it for them. Her "act" is all about ratings. This is just about as close to Jerry Springer that you can get.

It pains me to give that nasty, psychotic BITCH even one star. I don't believe anyone so obviously biased and utterly lacking the ability to control her temper could possibly be a real judge (except maybe in traffic court???). If she is a real judge, she gives a bad name to the American judicial system. She doesn't listen but appears to make snap judgements based on whether she likes the person's appearance. She interrupts. She insults the people who come to her court more than necessary. (They can make fools of themselves without her help.) And if I hear her brag about how smart she is and how stupid everyone else is by comparison one more time, I'll PUKE. (What's up with that anyway? Maybe a severe case of an inferiority complex trying to mask her sense of self-loathing?) I have to admit it's interesting to watch her in the same way that it's interesting to rubberneck gruesome car wrecks, but I hope she gets the psychological counseling she so desparately needs.

What is up with this old lady? It is very tiresome watching her histrionics and narcissistic remarks. How many times do we need to hear. "On your best day you are not as smart as me on my worst day". I guess she needs to constantly remind herself of her worth. Lately she barely allows the plaintiff or defendant to speak or she does alot of eye-rolling and sighing. Such professionalism! I think it is time for her to hang up her robe and retire to Florida and play shuffleboard!

Judge Judy is just plain RUDE. A person with her age and experience in her position should have learned by now that every person deserves to be treated with respect and dignity until they have proven themselves unworthy of it. There is no excuse for her to behave the way she does to most of the people who appear before her. She should take some lessons from Judge Hatchett.

haha I'm laughing as I write this. This show is ridiculous! Judge judy reminds me of my eighth grade English teacher. I wonder how they choose which cases to take... there was one show where a mom was sueing a teacher for $9 because the teacher was filming a play and he didn't film the lady's son enough or something like that. It's like watching infomercials- pretty brain numbing.

Loud mouth B*&^# !

I work for a supreme court judicial system and she is a disgrace to the fine professional judges in this great country. I can't stand to watch such chaos in a courtroom.

Judge Judy is personally responsible for this wave of sarcastic, arrogant, abusive television court room shows. It is wrong for her to expect the litigants to behave in a respectable manner when the judge they are standing before does not. The cases are obviously screened to ensure that the most entertaining cases and the "easy" cases make the show. This show gives viewers the impression that all cases have a clear "right" person, when that is hardly the truth. Judge Judy has done more damage to the public perception of american justice than any show since the OJ Simpson trial.

I find it amusing that Judge Judy is included as a talk show host, falling into the same categroy as Oprah Winfrey and Rikki Lake. Yes, she may be an evil old woman, but that doesn't mean she's not fun to watch. Sadly enough, I know someone who appeared as a guest on this show. He got a free trip to LA, with board included. He lost his case, but the amount of money he was ordered to pay was actually covered by the show itself. On top of that, he got extra payment to appear on the show. Judge Judy is obviously a woman who believes in a just America.

Judge Judy is RULER OF THE FREE WORLD (says her ads). No pandering to sleeze as the woman tells it as it is. Most shows of this type include the sleeziest of the sleezy as litigants; feature argynebt and shouting, Judge Judy rules with decorum and a bit of humor, The only judge show to rival this is Judge Joe Brown,

I don't think I've every seen anyone so rude and obnoxious! And to think that she's being paid for this...

I HATE YOU! YOU CONVEY A SELF-RIGHTEOUS, POMPOUS, BITCHY CHARACTER. I HOPE YOU'RE NOY REALLY LIKE THAT, ALTHOUGH I'M CONVINCED YOU ARE! EVERYONE HATES YOU, AND YOUR SHOW SUCKS!!!!!

Judge Judy is an obnoxious self rightous bitch BUT.....irrespective of that, the people who actually appear on her show must have serious problems themselves as evidenced by the fact they subject themselves willingly to her tantrums and tyranny. I guess some people will stoop to any level to get on TV.

I like to watch Judge Judy whenever I can. Sometimes l find it so funny.I think people are getting to uptight about this programme, after all it is supposed to be controversial, Isn't it? We could never have a programme like this in the UK because my country is now too politicaly correct. Hang on to your free speech you will miss it when it has gone.I say Rock On Judge Judy, lets face it the truth does sometimes hurt.

Rude and annoying

Give me a break .. it's called TV! Judge Judy is a fine character and based partly (possibly) on real life, but again remember IT'S TV!

I love this show, I try so hard never to miss it.

I dont know. I just feel that in her past life she was a dominatrix or something. What's with her "Im never wrong- Shut up" attitude. It makes me sick, she's too old and ugly for TV.

Three words come to mind. Bitch, Super-Bitch and Uber-Bitch. Yes, Judge Judy is the biggest bitch on TV. You call that justice?! She is clearly always biased against one of the people and then interrupts and makes up stuff while insulting them. She should die like the skeleton hag she is.

She talks to people like they are scum or something, and the worst thing they probably did was back into a neighbor's car or something. She treats some of them like they committed murder. She's got a real attitude problem.

I love Judge Judy. She puts the losers in their place, and helps those who have not broken the law. I like her quick wit, and no nonsense attitude. Way to go Judge Judy!

This woman is a borderline personality disorder, bi-polar, slow cycling, anti-social personality disordered pseudo intellectual. Please give us all a break, get this psychotic menopausal freak OFF the air NOW! OH! Dr. Laura, has problems with her kids, of course the naked photos on the net she posed for in her wild microbiologist days has not helped...she is on her last legs in most markets, she beats up EVERY caller she's finished as any kind of media personality...and really showing her old age...she's a pathetic tramp...as evidenced by the nude photos, (authentic)...ok? And, she's got a face that would stop a clock...she done.

I love hao Judge Judy handles the people who like to get out of hand in her court. I think Judge Judy is very fair inher rulings

The only differences between Judge Judy and Laura Schlessinger is that Judy actually is a judge whereas Laura actually isn't a psychologist, and Judy isn't quite as shrewish and self-righteous. Being slightly less of a pain in the ass than Schlessinger doesn't necessarily make you any less of a b*tch, however.

judge judy is the biggest b#tch i've seen in my life! She's an obnoxious P.M.S.ing old lady who needs attention. No wonder she's been divorced four times. i feel sorry for her exes. she is a bigger disgrace to america than the 9/11/01 attacks!! She could atleast let people finish what they're saying. If there was anyone i could get off of t.v., it would be her.

judge judy kicks ass!

A straight-up, take-no-prisoners persona. Shrill voice and know-it-all attitude lower her rating. Still, I enjoy it when she lets the b.s.ers have it right there in front of everyone.

Smarmy and insulting. Is it so inconceivable that she could show a little respect for people? So it seems. She is an intolerant, inhumane tv celebrity masquerading as a wise jurist. AND SHE'S JUST PLAIN MEAN. Check out articles from a couple years back where she states that intravenous drug addicts should all receive dirty needles and die. Not my idea of someone who should judge anyone.

SHE THINKS SHE'S ALL THAT!!

What the heck is this woman's problem? Judge Judy paints a terrible picture of the justice system, showing viewers that judges can also be overly emotional and arbitrary in their decisions rather than being impartial as is needed for true justice to prevail. She's loud, abrasive and obnoxious. If I didn't know any better I'd suspect that her dramatic outbursts of anger and psychotic episodes were nothing more than attempts to obtain high ratings for her show. If you're going to ask people to present their cases, at least have the decency to hear them out!

This lady says it like it is.

Judge Judy is Ok as a host of a court show. She is extremly goofy as a judge, but she does fit the suit, and she has a reall good heart. The show is really, really imaginative, but stupid. She does know how to do the job, but not do it so right.

depending on her mood. I sure would hate to have her decide anything for me

I love her smart comments and quick witt.

Judge Judy is wonderful at what she does. She is not on the bench to cry over people's sob stories....we have Oprah for that. She is to give justice w
