I’m so happy Tiki was good because up to this point, I was very disappointed with this group. We started out strong with group one, but this has been weak tonight in terms of vocal talent. @SweePea59, only one is going home.

I have no idea who Royal Hen is, and they’re clearly someone huge, but this had to be a “for shits & giggles” gig because that was not good.

Why does Robin look like he’s going to the prom in the ‘80s? Seriously, that big boutonniere(sp?) looks so out of place, especially compared to the attire of everyone else.

Yay, new people tonight!

So we’re all in agreement that Pickle is going home tonight, right?

Ken, that is not Rob Thomas. I haven’t listened to Matchbox 20 in years, but he’s got one of those super recognizable voices that you never forget.

@NeenerNeener, I agree. I expected more out of Jenny tonight. Although, to be fair, wasn’t the early 2000’s when Lil Kim walked a red carpet with only a pasty/nipple cover on one boob? Those were some weird times.

Thanks for this, but sadly, it doesn’t help me much. I’m not a mainstream music listener and never watched the 50 shades movie. If she’s bad, I’ll just mute her like I did for Nick the first few seasons I watched. Funny story, last week I looked at Spotify’s top 50 for the day, only recognized 3 of the names, and of those 3, had only heard a song by 1.

They can only use it one time the entire season. Wait, Ken is 2 for 2 this season - am I living in an alternate reality?

As much as I was hoping the wildcard would be someone good, I think Pickle is going home. Wish it were Diver instead(the weird crotch tentacle is, well, weird and distracting). Wow, was not expecting Diver to actually leave! 2000’s night should be fun next week.

I’m not liking this nearly as much as the studio audience.

Me too, @NeenerNeener. Though there are few performances where they aren’t creepy.

I decided to give this show another try to see if things had improved any. They haven’t - still bad actors doing dumb cases, but I noticed they had a q&a segment with Judge John. I’m not sure a real person submitted the question but it was a nice break from the case. Like @AngelaHunter said above, this is insulting to long-time viewers of TPC(and I’m not even super long-term).

Monopolize away! I’m still watching this and it’s nice to know what I have to look forward to, and when to avoid since I have no recollection of the original airings. Also, not trying to jinx anything, but the past 2 weeks have been full of the type of inane nonsense I watch for. Just people not understanding common sense and coming to court with no/little evidence, thinking they can charm JM to rule in their favor.

Holy shit, Ken got one right! Am I living in an alternate reality?

Are we only getting rid of one tonight? I’d say it’s between Diver and Rubber Ducky. Edit : @NeenerNeener I was wondering where you were or if you’d given up on this show.

Off to a good start with Gazelle, though it was hard to focus on her performance when I was worried Jenny was going to have a wardrobe malfunction. Edit : OMG, someone in the costume dept must not like Diver because that crotch octopus tentacle is super distracting and awful. Edit 2 : S’More was decent but no guesses as to who it is. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to take Rubber Ducky seriously or if he’s this episodes goner. Voice wasn’t horrible, but that costume seems like it’d be really uncomfortable for more than one show. I’m confused by Cow. That was definitely not the voice I was expecting. Also, am I the only one who finds it weird that we get 5 performances tonight? I got so used to only 3 with lots of filler the past couple seasons, but I’m not complaining. I’d prefer more performances per show.

I have no idea who Rita Ora is, but I hope she brings something to the table and we don’t end up with another Jenny who talks a lot but says nothing. IMO, the show would be pretty boring if Robin is the only one with any musical knowledge/reasonable guesses. I see Ora is a singer, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s well-versed in people out of her wheelhouse.

I’d rather go back to watching Zoom cases to cut costs instead of subjecting myself to this. There are enough other fake shows on tv, we really didn’t need one more, IMO.

This is gonna be brief as I didn’t watch full episodes today and am already questioning if I want to continue or just stick with TPC reruns later in the afternoon. Ep 5, case 1: Mother suing daughters summer school teacher for embarrassing her daughter. Daughter may or may not have been cheating(she’s around 10). The Def wouldn’t stop randomly screaming things out when P was telling her case, so I started vacuuming my living room. At one point a pic of the daughters hand was shown and it may have had writing on it, but I didn’t see closely enough. Kid cases make me almost as angry as animal cases, especially when they’re just treated like props. Missed how it ended. Case 2 : woman suing her friend/coworker over Beyonce tickets. P never gave D money for tickets, so D sold ticket to someone else and P had to but another ticket. She didn’t have the money in the first place and seems bewildered JM doesn’t understand her view, or something. Lots of WTF looks from P. D wins. Ep 6, case 1(?) : Mom suing son’s(6-7 ish) baseball coach for kicking him off the team. Turned the tv off, not sure if this was another single case ep or not. Sorry. Edit: Just turned the tv back on, only case for this ep. Plaintiff gets her money back. @Primal Slayer, yes, all AllenMedia shows are this bad. I said an SNL skit of a court show would be more logical/cohesive than a different AllenMedia show, if that tells you anything. @AngelaHunter, I love when I’m looking for this thread and you’re the last post because your Judge Judy pic sums up my feelings perfectly 😆 I caught a bit of both the new Judge Mathis show and Eboni’s show and both look like they’re filmed in the same “courtroom” as this. Since they’re in LA, I’m surprised they couldn’t come up with anything better.

Somehow the people are more ridiculous today. Ep 3, case 1 : neighbors go on vacation together, plaintiffs suing because def’s are swingers who wanted to swing on vacation. When they(plaintiffs) went to bed, the def wife was sitting on their bed in a negligee and her husband walks in naked a few minutes later. D wife says P wife has been flirting with her and doesn’t understand why they were so uncomfortable. P’s get money back because they left vacation. Case 2 : Brothers fighting over prize money for dance competition featuring P’s daughter. The daughter won and of the $750 prize, D only gave her $50. She does a little dance for JM, and JM awards her/her dad the additional $325 she’s rightfully owed. Ep 4 : P suing his gf’s brother(D) for sabotaging a hot wing eating contest. JM thinks he’s(P) an idiot and I can’t believe they stretched this out for a full ep. I switched to something because I felt myself getting dumber.

@AngelaHunter and anyone else who hasn’t found where this is airing yet, try this link. Click on airings, then change to put in your zip code. If you’re like me, you’ll also then have to google the 4 letter channel code to see what it corresponds with numerically. I’m not sure why info on this show is so hard to find.

I’ll give this a few eps to get into things, but first impression is not good. The good : JM looks refreshed and happy to be there, while it seemed like at the end of TPC, she didn’t want to be there, IMO. No Harv so far, although I get 1.5 hours of TMZ every day should I decide I miss him 😉 The bad : No Doug or Douglas. The new bailiff doesn’t do much yet, and honestly could be someone in a Halloween costume. The set is very cheap looking and minimalistic. It’s hard to say much about the cases, nothing special there, although some litigants seem more actor-y than those on TPC. If anyone ever watched “America’s Court w/Judge Kevin something”, this is very reminiscent. And if you haven’t seen it, an SNL skit of a court show would be more cohesive and less comical. Edit : Forgot one thing, it seems like they’re filming this in LA. Edit 2 : The second episode is only one case. A man is suing his baby mama because she went on a trip with their twins for her b-day and the twins missed his wedding due to them missing a flight home. My mind wandered quite a bit and it seemed very commercial heavy, but these seemed like real people moreso than the plaintiff in ep 1, case 1.

I could listen to Nicole sing all day. Producers, how about instead of your dumb recap shows that are a waste of time, we just get a 45-min concert by Nicole. I guarantee the ratings would be higher. Edit : I love Demi and only wish we had gotten more. One song isn’t enough.

Thanks for posting that the new show will start airing tomorrow. I just checked and it airs here from 9-10 am, with TPC continuing to air reruns from 2-3 pm on its normal channel.
