Which Judge shows do you watch?

Don't have time to watch them much anymore, but I like really like Judge Judy the most because of how she puts both the plaintiff and defendants in their place. :) I like the others too though....People's Court, Judge Joe Brown. There was one a couple of years ago, I think Judge Mills Lane? He was

pretty good.

Judge Lynn Toler lives in Cleveland, Ohio. She flies to California once a week to tape 5 shows, which I believe is done on a Thursday.

The People's Court, I think Marilyn Milian is the best Judge, most fair. I also watch Judge Judy, but she is unfair at times and a bitch at times as well. She has her mind made up sometimes before she even hears the case. She also seems to have a bias against African-American men and young men in their 20's and under.

I was about to bring that up too. Recently a Judge Judy staffer let loose with reports of African-American participants being turned away from the show:

A case for "Judge Judy"? Or a case about "Judge Judy"?

Two of the nationally syndicated show's producers have filed separate lawsuits in the last two months against the show's production company, claiming that they were treated with less justice than most of the people who appeared before the wise-cracking TV judge.

One of the two staffers is Karen Needle, 54, a former associate producer, who claimed that she was wrongfully terminated because she was too old.

"There is a lot of terrible stuff going on if two people file separate lawsuits," plaintiff Karen Needle, a former associate producer on the show, told ABCNEWS.com. "It's a toxic situation over there. This is supposed to be Judge Judy, the voice of justice, and yet her own staff isn't treated well. What is she getting paid all that money for if her own staff is treated with such little decency?"

Needle's former colleague, Jonathan Sebastien, a former senior producer, also sued the show and its production companies in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming that he was wrongfully fired after he complained that black litigants were being kept off the show. Judge Judy Scheindlin is not named as a defendant in either of the lawsuits, which seek unspecified damages.

The 37-year-old producer, who worked on the show for seven years, claims that his supervisor, Randy Douthit, who is a defendant in the case, screened out blacks. According to the complaint, Douthit told producers, "We're not doing any more black shows," and "I don't want to hear black people arguing" and "I don't want to hear no black language on the TV." Sebastien claims that when he presented possible cases to him, Douthit rejected them as "too ghetto."

Douthit, a veteran producer who helped launch CNN's "Crossfire" and "Larry King Live," allegedly told producers that they had to book "white, upscale, pretty people" and told Sebastien to send black litigants to the show led by African-American Judge Joe Brown, according to the complaint.

When are people going to learn that they have to SHARE this society?

Judy can be an unapologetic bitch just for the sake of being one. The people she presides over are pretty stupid, but her holier than thou antics are tiresome. I used to like Marilyn Milian too, especially when she didn't let a Spanish speaker try to use a language barrier to get by.

Good for her! If you come to this country, speak English!
