What's Up with The Judge Judy Show
Judge Judy is an American syndicated reality-based
court show, featuring former family court judge, Judith Sheindlin,
arbitrating over small claims cases.
The show premièred on September 16, 1996,
and brought back the television courtroom genre after a few
years of being off the air. Despite its long string of judicial
challengers over the years, Judge Judy has brought in the
highest ratings out of all the courtroom dramas.
In addition, it's remained the most watched
court show since its series premiere. As of 2007, Judith Sheindlin's
top-rated courtroom series has been nominated ten times for
Daytime Emmy Awards. On October 7, 2005, during its tenth
season, Judge Judy was renewed through the 2009-10 season
(the show's fourteenth). Judge Judy's twelfth season premièred
on Monday, September 10, 2007. The following day, the show's
first DVD, entitled Justice Served, was released. The program
earned Sheindlin a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which
she was awarded in February of 2006.
