I usually dont like Judge judy, but this one was pretty good.
There are times when she really pisses me off, someone will be trying to defend themselves and being calm and rational (which apparently makes for bad ratings) so Judy will interrupt them yelling at them and refuses to let them get a word in edgewise.
Also, she is not a Judge, so I kind of object to her calling herself that. Its TV program where the people sign a contract stating that they will abide by her rulings. Also I know the people get paid to be on the show. Finally, I have heard that the show will cover the losing parties expenses up to a certain amount.
