The Untold Truth Of Judge Judy

[snooper2]

Everyone gets paid, fake cases, producers pay "fines", LOL- of course It REALITY

[KamaAina]

1. Trump's first SCOTUS appointee?

[BeeBee]

2. "Untold..." unless you read the disclaimer at the end of the show. n/t

[Egnever]

5. Right?

I would wager though that most of the viewers of that show can't read. So for all intents and purposes it remains untold....

[Phentex]

9. My sister loves it...

I cannot understand the appeal.

But she can read very well.

I guess it's similar to watching wrestling for some people.

[WillowTree]

20. I actually took a very valuable piece of advice from Judge Judy

That being........

Never, ever lend money. If you can afford to give what someone needs without expectation of repayment, and if you can give it and pretty much forget about it, fine. But the expectation of repayment destroys relationships. Has proved to be very good advice in practical use.

[Eleanors38]

22. A good chunk of people who borrow are intent on not re-paying...

Loaned money is usually given money.

Tools are never returned.

Loaned cars come back damaged.

_____
The worst part of it, the deadbeat ALWAYS turns the moral onus on the sucka who loaned the money/item.

[WillowTree]

24. That's why I'm very judicious about who I will give money to and for what purposes.

But as they say about loving someone, when I give money, it is set free. If it comes back, cool. If not, well, I never really had such expectations anyway.

7. Not a fan of Judge Judy but I wtached the People's Court...

when it was Judge Wapner presiding. Those were actual cases but the parties agreed to arbitration in the form of the tv show. I knew the show paid the fines and thought the winning party got to keep more of the money but I was never clear on that. There had to be a reason people agreed to it!

I don't remember if it was the newer people's court or Judge Judy but I saw an episode and the people were from the Midwest or something. I thought what the heck are they doing there? Then you could surmise they were sought after and not real cases in California.

10. Rusty the Bailiff was the Bailiff of the Manson trial

[Phentex]

11. I didn't know that!

interesting

[Ex Lurker]

18. I saw Tony Dow (of Leave it to Beaver) on People's Court one time

He was a witness on behalf of his "much younger" girlfriend who was having a dispute with her landlord. There was no mention of who he was, but that face was unmistakeable.

[CXFECK]

31. The woman with Tony in the peoples court episode was not his girlfriend, that was my wife.

I was out of town working and my wife was getting her PHD at UCLA. We lived in Venice Beach and this was back in 85 or 86. Wife came home from school late and someone was in her assigned parking space. After looking for another space, sh3e eventually di what and former Long Island resident with a 6'6" husband would do and parked behind him, (blocking him in) and emptying a trash can on his car. Wife came out next morning and her car had been towed. Since Tony, our friend and next door neighbor, was serving as property manager since our landlord was in Morocco on business, he went to the Peoples Court to act as her witness even though he really didn't want to as he is till this day very recognizable. Judge Wapner didn't recognize Tony even though Doug Lewellyn did and most people in the court room as well. Judge even said to Tony, "Why do you look familiar, have you appeared before me previous?'

Had it taped on Beta HiFi but lost it over time. Tony was then and is still married to Lauren, he was just trying to help out. Love to find a copy of the tape, no longer married to her but it was hilarious. She did win her case

[marble falls]

32. Someone has got the rights and all the tapes. The internet is your friend: wiki "People's Court" ...

that'll get you started. Somewhere there's a list of all episodes of the show and at som swap meet you might even find an episode or the right season of episodes.

[anigbrowl]

21. Yeah, I've always known this because they put that information on the TV screen

Not sure what the mystery is here except for people who don't like to read. Well there's a lot of those about I guess.

[DawgHouse]

28. Ha, yes! It's not a secret.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

3. So all this time they've been peeing on our legs and telling us it's raining?

[csziggy]

4. Hunh

[Turbineguy]

6. OK. Everybody knows

the Moon landing was faked, but this? Next you'll be trying to convince me that TV wrestling is fake too!

[jaysunb]

8. This is common knowledge

and the litigants are real people culled at courthouses throughout the country.

The winners are paid the settlement and the losers are compensated w/ a lesser amount plus their expense. If the plaintiff loses, the defendant gets a set amount.

This has been the formula for all court shows from the beginning of The Peoples Court.

I was sued and appeared on the show.

[Heeeeers Johnny]

12. She also works 52 days per year makes $47 million a year for that nonsense.

19. JFC

Meanwhile us regular folks are losing wages and working more.

After the poor eat the republican rich, they'll go after JJ and the other Hwood elites. Not complaining about it of course.

[basselope]

13. And they shoot two endings for Love or List it.

And Survivor moments you see are sometimes re-enactments of events that happened when the cameras weren't rolling.

Santa Claus, is; however, real.

[Volaris]

15. That's correct

And he will be appearing on Monday Night RAW next week in a TLC Match against that bastard, villainous Easter Bunny.
Fuckin' dirty rabbit has no idea what he's in for. Serves him right for what he did to that poor defenseless elf at Survivor Series.

[Brother Buzz]

14. The only losers are Writers Guild members

[Demonaut]

16. WHEAT FLOUR, SUGAR, CANOLA OIL, LEAVENING (CALCIUM PHOSPHATE, BAKING SODA), CORN STARCH, SALT,

XANTHAN GUM, NATURAL FLAVOR.

and that's what makes a cake.

I still love Judge Judy

[edbermac]

17. Reality shows being rigged?

Like this is something new?

[Eleanors38]

23. And the big bear shits in the woods.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

25. What a party pooper. Next you'll claim Professional Wrestling isn't real. nt

[wryter2000]

26. Is anyone surprised by this? eom

eom

[Hoyt]

27. She likes Trump too. That tells me all I need to know.

[6000eliot]

29. She makes a lot of money yelling at poor people and minorities?

[Kaleva]

30. The show won an Emmy for best reality courtroom series.
