I love the idea of this network, but they have turned it into a forum for lawyers to discuss their techniques. Get rid of the lawyer commentators and put more cases on and leave them on with some editing. Also, stop taking commercials in the middle of a good argument.

I guess it fills a niche. I like the way that it has broadened its fare and covers much more than just trials pending at the time.

I can't believe this is a channel.

Some really quality programming. Forensic Files kills CSI, and Ive never even seen CSI.

CTN exists for dopey F. Lee Bailey wannabes, supermarket checkout tabloid devotees and cretins who are fascinated by nasty automobile crashes to indulge their voyeuristic jollies on other peoples' anti-social conduct and/or misery, or get some sort of vicarious thrill out of carnage and skullduggery. The so-called "Legal Analysts" on this channel are too lame to actually practice significant law (or even become ambulence chasers or act as glorified bill collectors), so they go on this abortion as specious "experts" to misinform the uninformed. This channel is dangerous because it helps in a big way to advance the present protocol of the media to Johnny One Note certain cheap and basically inconsequential crime stories and shove them down the throats of the docile and noncomprehending public. OJ becomes Jon Benet becomes Chandra becomes Laci. This leads to fewer stories of merit being covered and contributes to a general desensitivity of the viewing public. Also these sorts of stories are inexpensive and easy to cover, so a channel like this speaks to the greed of the corporate interest that owns it and the lazyass attitude typical of the "journalists" who usually coast and preen in undeserved self-importance. Enough already!!!

Court tv is like watching a circus! All the anchors do is critize the judges and lawyers in the courtroom and scream and holler. The newsbreaks and constant interruptions from the talking heads make an interesting trial absolutely awful! The Crier show is a pathetic excuse for a talk show and Nancy Grace should be fired for her rude, crude and interrupting comments.....The trials used to be great but now they are just an afterthought and absolutely awful!!!!

Forensic Files and some of their documentaries are worth watching, but other than that nothing, really, worth watching.

This type of thing can be so exciting when Perry Mason is doing it, but watching it on this channel, it's just plain boring.

Combines two things I love, court drama and reality television.

This channel is essential for anyone who enjoys being in other people's business.

Not very good. The trials are like watching an episode of Judge Judy.

Good when they show reruns of Cops, but other than that, boring!

How sad that so many Americans get sucked into watching this terrible show. The participants have the lamest arguments. The fact that these squabbles are televised is just pathetic. What's worse are those who spend their day watching a show that will yield them nothing of insight or importance in the end.

I think this channel is garbage. All it does is help to perpetuate superficialism in modern, contemporary society. The fact that people want to watch the drama of other's lives really maks me sick to my stomach.
