Moral Court

This was actually a good court show. It was kind of a game show/court show. I like Judge Larry Elder because he was actually a nice guy and acted like he cared. He wasnt like a normal TV Judge where they just sit there and yell, he was really nice. I am so sad FOX took this show off.

Welcome to Moral Court, where it pays to be right. The show had three elements. The first was a courtroom show, in which conservative Larry Elder presides over a case between two sides, one who thinks the other is in the moral wrong. They bring their case to Elder who decides if the accused is a moral misfit. Then there is the talk show portion in which Vivian, the court reporter comes to interview the principals while Elder is in recess. Finally, there is the game show portion where the winner of the case gets $500 to $2000 depending on the decision.

The most notable name I saw on there was a cult figure named The Naked Cowboy. Basically, he is a musician that plays a guitar in nothing but a cowboy hat, cowboy boots and underwear. His girlfriend (or someone playing the role of his girlfriend) brought him to the show because she thought what he was doing was morally wrong. Elder thought different awarded the decision to The Naked Cowboy.

There was another odd case where a woman was suing a man for having a museum that chronicles the history female menstruation lol. She claimed that his museum was offensive didn't have a lot of things right. She even brought like dozens of pamphlets to back up her claim lol. Well, Elder ruled for him since he had a right to display what he wanted and she was PEEVED. I mean she hated losing so much that she didn't even stick around to be interviewed by Vivian after she lost.

Anyway, Moral Court died a horrible death. It really wasn't a huge loss for Elder as he still had a radio show. It was still an interesting and fun show.

This is the program where award winning heavy metal singer Bralalalala was chastised by Larry Elder for being trans gender and expecting to not be discriminated in the music business anyway. Elder called Bralalalala, "arrogant," and "self righteous" on the Christmas Day 2000 episode when Bralalalala expected a woman who said her music was really good to be wiling to participate in a music video of the artist. The woman named Mitzy declined the invitation explaining that Bralalalala is not an act but looks like a girl all the time. The woman also further concluded that associating with such a trans gender person would ruin her reputation and harm her children. The jury took Bralalalala's side by a 2-3 margin while Judge Larry Elder awarded the woman $500.

Moral Court is a sendup of a court show/talk show/game show hybrid where the "accuser" and the "accused" battle it out on a settlement where the judge will award either one $500, $1000, or $2000 based on his decision. I liked Larry Elder and that guy with a Moral Court T-shirt who acts like a bailiff should be a court show fan. It's a gosh darn shame UPN took it off for another show.
