Good to know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'd rather they show how crappy and lawless Gotham was, but without introducing almost every villain Batman will battle in the future. Seriously, Bruce Wayne is still a kid in this series. Other than Catwoman and Poison Ivy the remaining bad guys are 10 to 30 years older than he. In other words, no wonder Batman is able to kick their butts----they're about to collect Social Security retirement benefits!

Perhaps Gordon meant innocent in terms of murdering the Waynes? I thought they mentioned a parole violation or a probation violation and that was when he split down the fire escape.

I have yet to see a fartin' rainbow or see anyone fart a rainbow. But I'll be sure to include that into my vocabulary. :-) The evening reruns have been pretty good lately: Oscar the 80-something married man who loaned money to a 30-something single woman, The self-described non-instigator instigator teen who claims the defendant keyed and dented her car after non-instigator instigator threatened to slash the defendant's tires twice. It was priceless because as soon as instigator began talking her mom looked like she wanted to smack the crap out of her for lying.

I agree with you. I think plenty of people bring things to court (JJ's and real small claims) out of personal animosity. Personally, I don't like JJ's premise that 18- 25 year olds are on the same mental level as 5 year olds in terms of responsibility. And those cases drive me up the wall, when she says a 25 year old is a "baby" who doesn't know any better.

The child is probably high functioning on the autism spectrum. So it was probably explained to her that he isn't severely autistic, but he's still autistic enough to be categorized as autistic I couldn't unroll my eyes for 10 minutes after hearing that one. I think the Mother is more pissed off at the defendants lack of empathy, than anything else. A neighbor's rottweiler mix bit a pomeranian at a dog park. Neighbor showed enough sympathy: wrapping the pom in his jacket, driving pom and its owner to the emergency vet, and paying for the vet bills, that he didn't end up in court. And if the pom's owner did sue him, what would the reason? But if he was a wackadoodle like the owners on JJ, he would claimed the pom instigated the attack or his dog wasn't the one that did it or some other nonsense. That kind of attitude just pisses people off even more. Editing to add... RE: Harlan the single father with 2 families in 2 neighboring countries. The fact is he trashed the place by breaking a door and allowing his children to draw on the walls AND not fixing these things. Based on the well story, it looks like he was trying to blackmail the owner: if they make a big deal out of his home improvements, he would report them about the well.

Yeah, that was supposed to be funny. I think Fish's character is a spoof of movie mobsters. If they are following Batman canon, Bruce Wayne doesn't find out until he's been the Batman for a number of years. I can't imagine that Gordon will find out and not tell Bruce based upon how they are developing the Gordon-Bruce relationship at this point.

At this time Clark Kent is pre-teen about Bruce Wayne's age (if the writers are following Batman cannon at all). At the most, I could envision the two boys meeting. Just like I could envision Bruce meeting Zatanna or Talia.

Or meets a young Talia al Ghul. I had the same thought about the Flying Graysons! In Pre-Crisis Cannon, Bruce Wayne lives with his uncle (who's usually away on business). Ma Chilton is the housekeeper and becomes sort of a mother to young Bruce.

Mr. Milz thought it sounded like Ned Flanders.

It probably won't ever happen, but I'd like to see cameos from Adam West, Burt Ward and Yvonne Craig, just as a shout out to the original, campy '60s series. Maybe Yvonne can be Ma Chilton?

Introducing the future baddies now will allow them to introduce the future heroes, like Superman, gradually.

My uncle collected comic books. He allowed me to read some of the Wonder Woman and Lois Lane comics when I was a kid (under supervision), because he thought a girl should read those comics (yeah, he was a tad bit of a sexist, but he was a product of his generation.) Anyhow, he had a DC comic compendium of secret origins, reprinting the original comics. So the Batman origin was the one from Detective Comics in the 40s(?). It had the killer saying "Hand over that necklace, lady". Then shooting Thomas. and shooting Martha after she starts screaming. I know they've updated the origin since then, but I still look at the original Detective Comics as the origin. RE: Poison Ivy I looked at my husband and said, "she's not supposed to be Poison Ivy is she?" If they are taking a little from pre-Crisis and a little from post-Crisis and mixing it with their own, it will either be really good or really bad, really fast. The Crisis was one of the reasons why I stopped reading DC altogether and started reading Marvel (and I stopped reading that when they did all of the X-Men spin-offs.)

Re: the pearl necklace...This is nitpicky but, a strand of it broke and all the pearls fell off the string. Why would a millionaire's wife wear a pearl necklace that isn't properly strung? Pearls are individually knotted to keep them from scratching each other and to prevent a shower of pearls if the strand breaks. Yeah, I know it was probably done for dramatic effect, but still. Anyhow, I liked the program. Does anyone know if this program is following Pre- or Post-Crisis Batman cannon?

lmao! That is getting old.

She's a spoof of Judge Christina

I'd like PBS to pick up Motion when the Live Well Network dies in January.http://livewellnetwork.com/Motion/7624634 Another travel show I'd like to see on PBS is Somewhere Street. http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/tv/somewhere/

I liked this episode with the meat katsu. I'll have to try the soy marinated egg.

Judge Joe Brown.

Just a thought.....what if Hot Mess was the appellate court for JJ? Anyhow, I usually give a program 3 watchings before I stay with it or move on. I saw the first episode (Doggie Daddy), but missed the show on Tuesday and Wednesday.

That's Miss Sonia.

Judge Joe Brown used to lecture people like JJ does. Only he went 3 steps beyond JJ telling loser men (jobless, 5 children with 5 women, etc) to be men and so forth. JJ doesn't do that. Sure she gives her two cents, and snarks about finding something else to do other than making babies, but Joe Brown used to go on and on. I liked Judge Alex for the reason that he would explain the law. He wasn't bad to look at either.

Just pop your glasses off teebax. No one will think you are "older"-----they'll just think you need a new pair of glasses. RE: VFW Ladies Classic. It was a repeat episode last night and I was giggling more because it was just mentioned here yesterday.

Rose-colored glasses mom drove me nuts with said glasses at the tip of her nose for most of the case. (Sorry pet-peeve. If you don't have bifocals and you need to see close, just take the %$#**& glasses off.)

I think JM toys with them too much sometimes. The case I saw today was a lady suing a plumber. Plaintiff had leaky shower which leaked to the floor below. She called a plumber, didn't get any other estimates. Paid plumber over $6000. Then sues him because she thought he overcharged her. JM drew out the case much longer than JJ would have. JJ would have dismissed the case within 5 minutes and go into wanting a refund after eating a steak or a tuna sandwich. (OTOH, Judge Alex would have spent the ENTIRE show on that one case.)

My aunt owned a Beetle. It was yellow. So I can't imagine a pink and black one (red and black like a ladybug maybe, pink and black, no). Cow-eyes drove me nuts! She looked more scary than cute. Mom was pissed because Cow eyes was stupid letting BF use the credit card and Mom was taking it out on BF.
