Who the fuck are these people?

Why aren't they @ work?

Are they trying to be actors?

Do they get free food or something?

Do they have gas money to spare or too much bus fare?

WHY do they even go? Are they really so starved for entertainment?




I can think of 1000 other things to do than wake up, get dressed, go down to a fucking "Judge" show & listen to these idiots.



Why am I watching this shit?

I need a job where there are no tv's

cborgman said:

Holy shit, are you serious??? WTF??

CalhounSq said:

True why would anyone want to see these especially if they are on tv.

But I have seen SNL ,Letterman, Ricki Lake
and another. So you could say the same thing.

origmnd said:

I understand the first two... but Ricki Lake?? What's wrong with you

CalhounSq said:

Had to be there cause I was with someone who was going on the show ,so I figured I'd sit in the audience. It actually
was enlightening.

I was sitting next to 3 people (a girl and 2 guys). They were "plotting" a fake story
to present to Ricki when she asked the audience members.

Imagine how many fakes there are on these shows.

Did you have the urge to kill yourself?

I went to Sally Jesse once in Florida for a show on Hurricane Andrew. We were curious because we actually were in that friggin' hurricane: it sucked and I wouldn't wish the experience on my worst enemy---but anyhooo; they were begging for people to be audience members, so we said, what the heck. It started out all sad with the tetimonials and the appeals for charitable contributions, then she busted out and made the second half fun- inviting all the cute firefighters, giving away feebies to the victims, etc., etc....so it turned out lighthearted and hopeful in the end (and at the time Miami was FATIGUED of the effects of the aftermath from the storm. We might have still been on curfew with military rule then I think)...

CalhounSq said:

U mean having to sit thru the show?
I was half asleep.

Ottensen said:

Fair enough... but you did it ONCE - what's w/ the goofballs who are there every week??

they're out of work Jerry Springer/SJR/Rikki Lake audiences....paid in assorted lunch meats and trailer-park rent credits.....

I believe you

origmnd said:

All of em

CalhounSq said:

yes i did! i had a good time. i went with my uncle and we went twice. the first time was in the afternoon and there were 2 cases. the second time was in the morning and we saw 6. that went for a couple of hours. judge milian talked with us at the end of taping and explained that the cases were real and that whoever wins the case, the show pays the settlement. all the court shows do that, including judge judy.

Here's picture of me and Judge Milian

purplecam said:

WHAT?? I didn't know the SHOW pays the judgement I guess it makes sense though, gotta give these idiots something for airing their stupid shit on tv

Milian is a trip, she breaks those fools DOWN

God, tv is rotting my fucking brain

I think one of the bes shows is Divorce Court w/ Judge Maybelline These bamma-ass couples are ridiculous

CalhounSq said:

She told us that the main reason why the people go on the court shows isn't so much for money, it's so that that they can humiliate the person they are suing. That made sense to me cause they people going on know what's going to happen with the payments.

CalhounSq said:

oh i love divorce court, if i didn't have to be at work during that time i'd watch it like i used to

Here's a story for you from my trip to People Court. One of the cases I saw was a couple suing a restaurant manager for messing up the wife's Burburry Coat with Barbecue Sauce. He tripped and some sauce accidentally hit the coat and they were suing for $676. The husband had to do the talking for the wife cause she had lost her voice. The couple won $600, the depreciation value of the coat. After the ruling, the defendant spoke to the court reporter first while the couple waited their turn. I'm sitting there listening when all of a sudden I heard someone make a loud . I looked up and the wife suing had a small smile on her face and she covered her mouth. I was like hell no. The couple went to the reporter and slowly people started laughing, including me. Then all of a sudden, the stage director yelled out "Ill what's that smell?". We all busted out laughing then the smell came into the courtroom. They had to spray the place with air freshner. Even the reporter came in and asked us, "Was that her?". We all yelled out "YES", I had tears in my eyes and I was laughing until the next case. That one event made the whole trip for me.

Many that go are retired, off from school or are tourists in town. In my case, I love these shows and since I don't have a job yet and the tickets are free I figured why not go since most of the shows are done here in NY and I wondered what it was like to be at a tv "courtroom". Plus my uncle and I love court shows so it was perfect to go to The People's Court, I want to go see Judge Judy next. Speaking of Judge Judy, I saw her the day I went to a taping of The Price is Right a few years ago and she is small. I dare say she's smaller than Prince and her husband is small too but barely taller than her. They were just chillin at the Farmers Market across the street from CBS. I thought that was so cool.

Divorce Court is cool Jugde Maybelline is a trip!

purplecam said:

OH HELL NO!!! I don't know what's more shocking, that the heffa farted in public (y'all KNOW how I feel about THAT!) or that they actually got cash for the coat I mean damn, is bbq sauce really THAT staining??

Judge Mabeline is my girl! The way you see her on TV is how she is in person. Outspoken and funny as hell. Out here in Cali, if you file for a small claims or simple divore, these shows will contact you and ask if you want to handle it there and they will pay the court cost. For you to be on the show, you have to follow the rulings. My friend's sister was on Divorce court with her ghetto ass ex and my co-worker was on Judge Judy. Her sister was a crackhead and tried to sue her sister for this imaginary trust her mother left them when she passed. My poor friend tried to explain to her crazy sister that the money went to her mother's medical bills. The money was not even a hundred thousand and her mom did not have a will so it went to her estate and then the bills. It was sad. Judge Judy is cold. I would hate to be heard in her court. Fuck, just shoot me.


By the way, purplecam you are a cutie! Where have you been hiding?

CalhounSq said:

The coat was in red and the couple took the coat to Burburry and the company put tape on the spots. Judge Milian said that the stains were faint but you could notice them. The funny thing with the fart was that the couple was close to the hall where they do the interviews so you might be able to hear it when the show airs. I have to call the show next month to find out when it will air.
