What the hell does whether or not someone chases ambulances have to do with whether she agreed to buy dining room furniture? And what difference does it make why they're not friends? It's irrelevant to the case. Either they had an agreement to sell it or not. I'm so sick of filler just for the 'entertainment' value. If they can't find enough for a 20 minute case (before commercials and what's coming up and what's already been said and Levin), then switch to the JJ format of two cases in half an hour. And I don't know anyone who would spend $700 for used furniture anyway. They were both lowlifes and they should have been sent away with nothing. Second case, again, why is it MM's business why they broke up and who broke up with whom and birth control pills? That has nothing to do with the legalities involved. And then the plaintiff owes nothing for the time he had use of the car? And while it is true that loan payments go primarily to interest first and principal later, the reason the GF is upside down on the loan is less due to the front-loaded interest and more due to the instant depreciation the minute the car drives off the lot. If you sell your car and pay off your loan really early (and they only bought this car last May), you won't take a huge hit for interest because you won't accrue it, but you will likely lose money due to the fact that you can't sell it for anything even close to the purchase price.

The second and third cases resounded with me. I ordered glasses last year and when they arrived, I could not see through them. I went back three times to have them corrected and I still can't use the glasses. Not only did they not refund my money, but they had the nerve to call me a year after the order to remind me it was time to come back. I was out in my driveway today with my cat and the yappy fucking rat dog next door would not shut up. It barks continuously whenever it sees me, which is any time I am in my yard or my driveway. I found myself wondering if dogs ever get laryngitis. At least this dog is behind a fence. Unlike all the other dogs that run loose in this goddamn neighborhood to the point where I don't feel safe taking a walk. I'm a single mother and I wanted to smack those crocodile tears off his face. I agree about the wound and the payment but not because of his grandstanding.

Took three tries on three different browsers for the damn video to run, but looking at it, whoever designed the parking lot for those balls to be placed in that location ought to have their head examined. The article says the pickup driver is wanted for hit and run, but honestly they might not even have realized the ball was there or that they hit it. OTOH, is it different from a case where the driver hits a telephone pole which then falls on another car? Would anyone say it was the phone company's fault? So it would be an interesting case, but I seriously doubt Target would want any more publicity.

I thought it was hysterical how the Rent-a-Wreck guy tried to turn MM's relative dissing of his business model into a mini-commercial. More power to him. Ever since the NY media started freaking out about bedbugs, we've seen a rash of people trying to cash in on the bedbug gravy train. Even if all the things she said were true, I just don't see a cause of action. This landlady really seemed to have gone out of her way to help the plaintiff and this was her thanks.

The issue was part of S8. Ivy accused Michael Costello of cheating in a previous episode and it got back to Tim. Tim said it was moot because 1) it was old news, and 2) the model apparently taped herself every time she went out on the runway and so it wasn't MIchael's doing or fault. I thought Chris's was best, hands-down, as soon as it hit the runway, so I knew, of course, that he wouldn't win.

Oh, man, Chris Matthews fumbling over his prompter and not even being able to come up with Malcolm Nance's name without the prompter--awkward.

What kills me about her critiques is how she always says, "I wish you would have used such and so," or "I wish you would have made such and so." It's as if she has it in her head what she wants the dish to be, and she measures the dish against that, rather than being able to evaluate what's in front her on its own merits. When I first read about the lawsuit, my opinion of GZ rose by almost infinite proportions...

Clearly they have run out of material, and it's time to retire this show gracefully and find another venue for the venerable Lt.

AFAIK, Divorce Court has never made a secret that they are reenactments using actors. I don't think the litigants in TPC are actors, but I would not put it past any of these people to collude and make up a case so they can get on TeeVee and make a little scratch on the side. It's a shame that the defendant in the first case today has no dishes, thus forcing her to plate her scrambled eggs on top of her head.

"I saw it in the window and I just couldn't resist."

When I worked in the hospital, if a patient left their glasses/dentures/whatever on their dinner tray/in the bedsheets/anywhere and they were lost, somehow we were always to blame and we always got stuck having to replace them, regardless of age or condition or how they were lost. Of course everyone thinks hospitals have huge reserves to pay for these things (they don't). And that patients have no personal responsibility for anything. (Which is why if they go home and choose not to comply with their medical regime and end up back in the hospital, it's also the hospital's fault. But I digress.) OTOH, I was surprised at how little these expensive glasses cost the plaintiff. Even with insurance, they're usually way more expensive than he was asking for, and if he'd used insurance to pay for them, he would have to pay full price until his plan would let him get a new pair. I thought he was channeling his inner Fred Armisen.

I don't belong to Mensa but I know the capital of Mongolia. OTOH, I'm not such a good cook. Listening to those folks trying to come up with sports metaphors was painful. Sad that this show has drifted so far that it's not even worth snarking on any more.

I've caught the accent slipping a few times. Just a syllable here and there definitely originating on the right side of the pond. I keep watching but I keep waiting for a plot. For all the A-list actors and the sumptuous locations, there's just no there, there.

Trying to un-read this...

I've only recently come out of a self-imposed news blackout post-election (I still wince at the sight of "President" and "Trump" used contiguously), so I didn't realize Greta had been given the 6 pm slot until just the other day, I think. And my second thought after, why her?, was, why not Joy? Funny how they can plug her into any of the prime time shows when they're hard up for a substitute host and she handles it without batting an eye (I think the famous taco truck interview was when she was pinch-hitting for Chris Hayes), but when it comes time to give her an evening show, they won't do it. Feh.

Thanks to SRTouch's heads-up, I didn't see the particulars of that case today, but I just want to mention I used to have an escape artist for a cat. His mission in life was to be outside. They forgot to tell us at the shelter when we were adopting him. Hard as we tried to keep him in, he used every trick in the book to sneak out every chance he got. As a nurse, I had to laugh when plaintiff responded to MM's question about proving the daughter had allergies. Well, no, she doesn't actually have allergies, but she had to have a T&A. And, Judge, the medical record proves she has allergies--see, look at the list of allergies. The list of allergies in a medical record, 99.9% of the time, is whatever the patient says they are. (I could be rich on the number of documented aspirin "allergies" I've seen put in medical records because aspirin upset someone's stomach. That, friends, is not an allergy. It's a side effect.)

First of all, thanks for the heads-up so I know to skip past it. What I really don't understand is how the producers pick such cases. I guess there is a lowest common denominator that somehow finds entertainment value in watching other people agonize over their beloved pets, but to me they're the same cretins who would have visited and enjoyed Michael Vick's pits of hell.

Just a little surprised that all this time later, after all the things CS has done since PR, that the writer felt compelled to note that he was a PR winner. In this context it felt like an asterisk rather than a compliment.

I miss the trips to Mood and Swatch, but if they're going to have mini-Mood, it would be nice if they just left it open. "Miss" is also a Southern thing, and isn't Tieler from Louisiana? I live in Georgia and I get called Miss Meowmommy. I'm not as big as Izzy's model, but if someone put me in that sleeveless, shapeless, unfinished bag of bandannas, I'd lock myself in a closet somewhere. Because I would never want anyone to see me. That said, there was a wide disparity in model body types this week and I suspect the judges, perhaps unconsciously, made allowances for that. OTOH, I don't know WTF the judge (can't ever remember her name) meant by "Izzy knows how to put on a show." Is that what they're supposed to be doing? A show rather than an outfit? Also did not appreciate KO saying to Chris's model, "He compromised to make you feel great." That was just rude. Just thought I'd mention how much better it is to have three consistent judges, two (ok, perhaps three, depending on what you think of KO) of whom actually know something about fashion, instead of the rotating starlet of the week they use on the mothership.

In the intro to the dog case, he paraphrased the line, "I am just a poor boy, and my story's seldom told," from S/G's The Boxer. Proving my point. :)

What was even more amazing was that, until today, we still had both the leads from a show that ran almost 60 years ago.

I'm all for Simon and Garfunkel references, but Levin made his so obscure I doubt ten people will understand it. 3rd case: WTF with all the filler about whether or not they're divorced and whether she knew she was divorced? He drove through a red light, pay the damn ticket. Case over in ten seconds.

I don't think she ever gave a bad performance. I grew up watching her on DVD and MTM. I don't think younger people really understand just how groundbreaking she was in her eponymous show, but she moved mountains in the 70s that a lot of thought might never move. Flirting with Disaster is one of my favorite movies. And she was great, playing against type. Now Valerie Harper, you hang on!

Wedding photographer should have allowed them to use her name and her company's name, because everything about her case advertised their professionalism. I think people would want to use her company after seeing the pictures and hearing how the junior photographer went the extra mile for the whiny, entitled plaintiff.

Happy to see Max. He's come a long way from being Virgil's bumbling little helper. Dar's "Presidents don't get chances, they get tested," felt scarily ripped from reality. Unlike the plotline with the female PE, which will always feel disjointed given the current state of the nation. Why would Quinn be drawn to that Alex Jones-ish program?
