Hot Bench

Today's episode was the last straw!! I agree that Judges Acker & Dimango have their moments but Judge Corriero totally disregards the facts in the case and makes up new ones. A young Lyft driver sued a woman for literally pulling out of a spot right into his car. She claimed to be parallel parking but clearly she was pulling out. Of course, no insurance!!! Since the plaintiff stated he didn't see her, Judge C took that to mean she was parking rather then the more logical she was pulling out. I don't know about you but I assume parked cars are staying that way. He is such a bleeding heart that it makes it impossible to enjoy the program. Time to hang up the robe!!!

I don't know how this show has remained on the air for 5 years. Judge Judy created it, but these judges don't compare well to her. Perhaps it's their focus on achieving unanimity that makes too many of their decisions seem unfair. Oftentimes, I find myself agreeing with Judge Acker when she dissents. (Although she was never on the bench in real life, she's the best judge on this panel, IMHO.) Judge Corriero wears his heart on his sleeves, sometimes inappropriately. I was gobsmacked when he practically apologized to a pit bull owner for ruling in favor of the plaintiff who had sued her for damages related to an attack by the defendant's dog. Whaaat?!? Lastly, what's up with Judge DiMango and Judge Corriero's inability (or refusal) to call the litigants by their names. Every one is "you," "he," "she".... They disrespect the litigants by not bothering to address them by name. Plus, for those of us who aren't staring at the TV the entire time to see on whom the camera is focused (because we're multi-tasking), it's hard to follow along. Even Judge Judy, who is probably older than DiMango and Corriero, can recall and use the names of the parties who come before her. How hard is that? (And if it is hard, the show's producers should place name cards on the front of the podia.) "Hot Bench" is amateur hour compared to Judge Judy. She should give Judge Acker her own show and be done with it.

This is a court? the judges are from SNL right? Three of the most hysterical people you'll ever want to meet. You can't take this seriously. An African American woman and a blonde against one single male make decisions. What they say is a joke. Can't believe Judge Judy is behind this. Always thought Judy was smart and knew better. But these three bimbos should have their own comedy show. Wait, they do. And it's called Hot Bench. Ha ha. Are three judges on a case legal? I know in the military courts it is but never heard of a three-man (excuse me one man,two women) before. However, it's an amusing way to waste an hour in the morning. And what's with the blonde judge's accent? Brooklyn? Queens? Sort of a female Archie Bunker. The lone male judge seems a bigoted idiot and sounds stupid in his arguments. When the three get together after not too much interrogation is where the comedy begins in their reasoning with each other. Right out of a Marx Brothers movie. Only the Marx Brothers were talented. Do these three have degrees? Hard to believe. Upon seeing the Three Stooges Judge program a second time, I still cannot believe they are still on the air. Judge Judy, please get them off for the sanity of all of us. And what's with a judge looking like some grade B Hollywood blonde wannabe. She is ugly and badly needs to get her GD hair out of her face. This is a court of law not some runway model show, although honey, you ain't no model. The African American lady only one with any class. Too bad she is outshone by the bimbo and male idiot. The male judge likes center stage and talks like some reject from Queens. The male and bimbo are the worst ever to look at and hear. Judy get rid them for all of us. Let the news continue without this comedy of judges.

I enjoy watching Hot Bench, but I do find it sometimes irritating. I thought Judges are not suppose to make judgment calls or assumptions while deciding the outcome of the court cases. Judge Acker, and Judge DiMango are very loud and opinionated. They constantly comment on what they believe really happened with no real evidence indicating what they're saying. Both, mainly Judge DiMango, is constantly very loud and raises her voice when she speaks to the defendants and plaintiffs. It's like she's scolding them. She also takes over in the deliberation room and talks over Judge Corriero most times. Judge Corriero has a lot to offer but both Judge DiMango and Judge Acker don't give him the opportunity to speak. Both Judge DiMango and Judge Acker converse looking at one another and leave Judge Corriero out of the discussion, like they don't care what he thinks because they only care what they think. Judge DiMango acts like it's her show and not a collaborative effort between all three Judges. I realize it's a show and they need to spice it up for the audience, but please don't call people liars and say what you think really happened, as you weren't there and that is not what judges should be doing. Sometimes I Associate Judge DiMango And Judge Acker like aggressive bullies.

Some of you think Judge Corriero is meek, mild, with some more aggressive moments. I think he doesn't know what to do. He seems to frequently get cut off and left out most times by the other two Judges. There has to be someone out of the three that show concern and compassion. One things for sure, Judge DiMango and Judge Acker are not ones to show any concern or compassion. They definitely think they are the show. Sometimes I think they are both fighting for Judge Judy's position for when she retires. Wouldn't it be funny if Judge Corriero is given the honours! LOL

I used to love this show. The judges were fair in their decisions and respectful of the litigants. I enjoyed watching the show. In the last couple of months, the show has devolved into more of a WWF version of lawyers. Which judge can be more rude, which one can yell over the litigants, who can be more insulting? This applies only to the women; Judge Corriero has maintained a professional demeanor.

What happened to the female judges? I can imagine a memo from Judge Judy (who I have never liked nor watched because of her insulting manner) instructing the judges to be more edgy. I have news for you, some lace around her robe does not soften her; a big smile from Judge DiMango or Judge Acker after they have shouted over the litigants does not soften their behavior at all.

I guess you are looking for an audience who cheers abusive behavior instead of applauding people treating each other with respect.
