Hot Bench

It realY BOTHERS Judge Corriero wnthen an achild is suing aparent. He believes that it is wron to sue a parent or grandparent . He should leave the show because he doesnt think parents can be at fault. His concern is old fashioned Italian family structure.

You ever notice how Judge Demango never believe anyone and is ready to dismiss each case. Too lazy to listen and learn more.

First of all, no, I have never been on this show. I love the idea of 3 judges and being able to see their discussion. The problem that I have with this show is Judge Corriero.....he will ALWAYS side with the female, ESPECIALLY if it is a single mom, he sides with anyone who brings in a child, he is so touchy, feely, sing Koombyya that it just turns me off. He needs to get a little tougher...the only time I saw him raise his voice was at a man who he felt took advantage of a female....without letting the guy give his side of the story. He needs to go...on the opposite end, the two female judges have more moxy than Corriero...they see right through the liars where Corriero does not.

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.

My husband and I actually like this program more than Judge Judy. Part of the reason is because it's interesting to have the different judges ask their respective questions of the plaintiffs and defendants, plus it's fun to listen to them deliberate behind closed doors. They're fun personalities, too, although sometimes they get serious and scold the people who are before them. What's really fascinating is that some people go in, only asking for small amounts of money. What's up with that? Are they only interested in being on TV? Whatever.. it's really interesting to see what kinds of situations people can get themselves into.
