The People's Court

I enjoy People's Court, although I prefer Judge Judy's no-nonsense approach to the foolishness of so many of the litigants.

So glad to see others commenting on Curt's behavior. I haven't really noticed the touching, but his ridiculous smart-alecky comments, akin to the old no-win question "So, have you stopped beating your wife?," are just childish and way beyond irritating. He's practically making faces and saying "I know you are but what am I?" like an eight-year old on the playground. Harvey's comments, while silly at times, at least have some measure of thought and truth behind them.

It's absolutely jarring to go from Judge Milian's classy, professional courtroom session to the buffoonish antics out in the hallway. It cheapens the whole show, and he adds nothing at all to it. The show should follow the example of Judge Judy and Divorce Court - let the people make their own comments afterward. As we see every day, they make better fools out of themselves just by opening their mouths than Curt's curt comments ever could. The only one he makes look bad is himself.

This show has it all, for a court TV show. It has audience participation, interesting cases, and Judge Marylin Milian, who's gorgeous, but carries a big Gavel. This show gets my vote. For those of us who are stuck at home on week-days, watching The People's Court, is an enjoyable wait to be entertained.

It's also goo, because Harvey Lrevin, the guy who interviews people outside the courtroom, gives legal advice regarding the court cases. Judge Milian is usually pleasant and even-tempered. But she does go off once in a while, when she's particularly exasperated with a litigant. This court TV show, is definitely wroth your while.

Of all the judge shows this one is the best going today. Judge Marilyn really adds drama and a quick pace to the show. She is a lot more likable than Judge Judy. She is also quite a looker in my opinion. She is much more self assured of herself, and doesnt have the aura of false celebrity.

Judge Marylin Millian's intelligence, wit, charm and INCREDIBLE yet tasteful sense of humor, combined with integrity, honesty, respect and caring, makes this show a blast since she took over in 2001. Since then, she managed to have another baby (she's only 39, has 3 little kids and lives in Miami) and quickly resumed her TV career, getting better and better. I could never stand other TV court shows, and now it's the only thing on TV I am regularly taping! Great entertainment, great intellectual stimulant, best hour on TV, eye opener, occasional shocker, not to be missed!!! Watch this passionate, beautiful Cuban genius in action and you'll see why other TV judges are mummies! 10 out of 10! Will also teach you how to talk back and argue your point at a business meeting, a small court case, a bout with your landlord or anywhere else, where viewpoints do not converge...

She's cute, she's funny, she's sassy, and she's getting better every day! She has 1000 expressions and they're all cute. Scripted TV cannot beat her natural talent. I love it when she gets mad. Just let it all out and be yourself, Marilyn!

I will agree that sometimes she doesn't hear the arguments and sometimes she seems to make judgments based on her own prejudices. But ... it's small claims court, so what can you do? She's not perfect, but she's great.

I learned a lot about basic law from watching Joseph Wapner back in the 80's. Get it in writing. Preponderance of evidence. Making you whole. Who's the liar? Get three bids. Dogs must be leashed. Etc. etc. etc.

Marilyn is just as informative as Joe and a LOT hotter!

I would love to see a "Best of People's Court". It would rock! I'm compiling a few myself. If you ever saw the case with Alana Sheridan trying to date the wanna-be wise guy -- it was a scream!!! Or the guy who wanted his garage demo'd, so he hired the job to a guy who sold it to get rid of it. Or the woman who set her apartment on fire, then sued her landlord. Fantastic!

I wish the show would come back to southern California. New York people are interesting but I want to see MY PEEPS in court again!
