I really enjoyed Judge Wapner on "Animal Court" with his bailiff Rusty. I think he was one of the first TV judges when he did "People's Court".

And if Judge Alex was on this list, I'd give him a five as well, simply because he presents his case in a very different and humorous way.

I WAS ON THIS SHOW AND JUDGE WAPNER IS A FRAUD. THE WHOLE SHOW WAS CRAP. A MAN STOLE MY DOG AND GOT AWARDED MONEY FOR DOING SO. THE WHOLE TIME THE PRODUCERS ARE INSTIGATING TO GET ME VERY UPSET, TELLING ME THE OTHER GUY WAS WRONG BLAH BLAH BLAH AND AS SOON AS THEY GOT THEIR SHOW DONE THEY ALL TURNED ON ME AND TOLD ME "IT WAS JUST A DOG, GO GET A NEW ONE." THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU OR ANIMALS.

It's about damn time that someone spoke for the animals! They cannot speak for themselves and the biggest animals of all - humans - are often a brutal and pathetic lot. Kudos for Wapner doing this show, even if it was just because he needed a gig. I say let the role of prosecutor go to PETA. They would stomp down the defendants like the wretched and pathetic souls that they are. HOORAY FOR ANIMAL COURT!

Just so you'll know,....animal rights is one of the fastest growing areas of law (right up there next to elder & intellectual property (copyright) law. How long ago did JW come out with Animal Court? Quite I while, I think. Anyways, hes tops in my book. I think he is outstanding and a pioneer in the field of animal law. KUDOS! JW

We had a Vancouver WA show on community cable of actual animal court hearings that predated ANIMAL COURT but was quite similar if less formal. Nonetheless, WAPNER RULES, always has, always will. Will he come out of retirement to preside in any genre?

I really enjoy watching Wapner's show. It is intereasting

This gets one more star than Judge Judy... but what in the hell are we subjecting ourselves to?? Wapner's Animal Court?! I think this is as bad as "animal psychics".

animal court? what happened wapner??

It's better than Divorce Court.

What a shame! Jusge Wapner deserves a better venue than this. From what I have heard, he is a pet lover and wanted to do this but they need to do a serious makeover.

This courtshow based around animals is lame and boring! What's Next, Dr. Doolittle running the ABC World news?

animal can't talk!

At least someone do really care about animals

Judge Wapner's Animal Court is as real as Miss. Cleo's Tarot Card Readings are. It sounds pathetic, but this show is extremly funny and entertaining. I mean just imagine a turtle fighing Judge Judy and you have the humor type of this show.

He is just as spry and spunky as he used to be!! Would give Judge Judy a run!!!!

Judge Wapner hearing cases about animals? This is just plain sad!!
