All Episodes Talk: All Rise

[Rice-a-Roni]

NIECE/DEVIL GIMME BACK MY COMPUTER 

If Angel is 17, I’m late for school.  And what a misnomer -- I half expected a forked tongue to dart out of her smirking pierced lips.

 

From the beginning, I knew this case was going to frustrate me. Why drag the plaintiff’s daughter’s criminal history into the mix?

 

JJ was so wrong on this case. I don’t even know where to begin. It doesn’t matter what this piece of equipment cost, doesn’t matter how old it is; priceless materials (photos of the plaintiff’s incarcerated daughter’s unlucky child, but still) were lost because of Devil, and not only did she completely fail to see that, she actually blamed the plaintiff!  JJ had the temerity, nay the gall, to enumerate the equipment that belongs to each member of her own, ridiculously wealthy family: “I have my little iPad, my husband has an iPad, my children have their own, they never take videos on my iPad.” And then later, “Where do you think you’re entitled to $600 for a piece of equipment that at this point is, according to my husband who says every three years you need a new laptop, obsolete?” WTF, JJ? You elitist snob! Your family members are millionaires, not poor Florida white trash with moms with neck and tata tattoos. Jesus Louise-us.

 

(Pray tell us, JJ, you, who rants on and on about how you can’t operate computers and phones and other new fangled equipment, how do you archive your photos? “All you do is you press forward and send.” Um, okay.)

 

Do you guys have a system of rating Judge Judy’s failures? Because this one takes the highest score. EPIC FAIL.

 

PERSONAL INTRUIGUE Am I correct that the brother of the plaintiff who appeared in court had carnal knowledge of Valerie, the tattooed lady, and produced that Devil child, or was that another brother? Either way, good luck with that, folks. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anyone more clearly destined to a life of bouncing back and forth between the court system, the cat house, and piss-in-the-sink hotels. Like to the manner born turned inside out. Keep your eyes peeled for her upcoming appearances in viral videos of girls gone bad.

 

BONUS POINTS “We came all the way here to see you,” says Devil to Judge Judy, like some demented Dorothy Gale to the Wizard.

 

OFF THE CHART BONUS POINTS Texting one's aunt, "The only thing I'm going to give you is a straw so you can suck my dick."

EDITED TO ADD I have nothing against tattoos. I have tattoos myself. Visible ones, on my arms, even. But I don't have them crawling up over my face and neck because I have to work and deal with all kinds of people, and even in the creative field I work in, face and neck tattoos are still not going to win me any jobs (I'm self employed).

I guess I don't exist in Judge Judy's world because I delete all of my texts and emails after I've read them.

[Angeltoes]

THAT'S the ending of the straw comment? Mercy, never heard that one before (and I work in a firehouse and hear my share of colorful slam phrases). I can't imagine saying that to my aunt or anybody else for that matter.

[Quof]

But nothing you communicate electronically is ever truly "gone" (as I keep reminding my teen niece).  If they're important enough, ie vital to proving your case, you will go to the trouble of having your cellphone or internet provider regenerate them.

Bwahaha!

 

Today's Ms. McDonald proved (as so many litigants have done) that maturity does not necessarily bring one iota of common sense or wisdom. She buys a 12 year old car, loans it out to the person who sold it to her, stops paying for it because the beater conked out (What a shock!) AND wants back her 1900$? Is she possessed of amazing chutzpah or, more likely, just an idiot? Both she and her Howdy Doody-looking personal mechanic, "Chase Yodel"(?) bugged the hell out of me.

 

Antoinette really needs to take a good look in the mirror. For sure, I'm not up on fashion but that yellow Shirley Temple wig has got to be a no-no on anyone over the age of 18. I guess from the back view she can fool a lot of people that way.

 

As for emails - I have some that have been there for twelve years. Maybe I'm just an email hoarder!

JJ did make a valid point about the texts.  This incident happened only a few weeks before the taping.  If someone you know has taken your car without your permission and you're texting them and they're not answering . . . wouldn't anyone with an ounce of sense keep those texts at least until the car was located?  

 

I think he didn't want JJ to look at his phone and see texts about, "What else can we do to make our fake case sound believable so we can go on Judge Judy and split $4,500?"

 

Whenever she sends a case back to small claims court, it's a sure bet that it's her way of refusing to pay them for trying to scam her.  They only get the money from the production company if the case is fully adjudicated.  A "go back where you came from" voids the appearance contract.

[Brattinella]

I'm fairly certain the phrase was: "Take a straw and suck my ass (or suck my shit)"  I've heard both, unfortunately.  I am SO mad at JJ for ruling the way she did!

I think also, so that the loser actually has to be the one to cough up the funds. It bugs me when the "losers" on this show act all horrified they've lost, when they aren't actually out any money. So I'm glad JJ tosses 'em back home. Heh.  Rotsa ruck, idiots.

[NowVoyager]

Did anyone watch the case of the estranged sisters? Maybe I wasn't paying strict attention, but I found the case so confusing. One sister loaned the other $100 at a casino. The other sister wins $500 & they fight about repayment--- when & how much. The other sister says something like: "The table was hot." as the rationale for repaying her sister later at home. The one sister feels like she should have gotten her $100 back immediately, plus some of the winnings even though that was not at all what they had agreed upon. (I'm not big on gambling, but I do believe casino etiquette indicates that you should spread it around when you win. Tip the dealer, etc.) I was good up to this point. Then, something-something one sister stored a bunch of tvs in the other's garage (um, why?), cops were called to assist with retrieving the tvs (again, why?), & one had called Child Protective Services previously on the other (I think you get my drift).....I was lost! These sisters were really mad at each other; they didn't just come on the show for free money. I know JJ doesn't dwell on backstories anyway, but I had trouble just following the basic plot.

Okay, I keep waiting to read comments on the new intro. Has anyone else noticed?

For as long as I can remember, Big Voice Narrator has intoned:

"The people are real! The cases are real! The rulings are FINAL! This is Judge Judy!"

Suddenly, though, those three sentences preceding "This is Judge Judy," have been deleted. What?! This concerns me. Are the people and cases no longer real? Are JJ's rulings no longer final? Why delete those descriptors?

Judge Judy and "tech" cases dont mesh. I was actually shocked to hear her say she's been texting lately. She's ridiculous in her prideful Neanderthalism. Doesnt she have a paralegal or other advisers who can open her eyes and horizon as far as 21st century tech? She's embarrassing and unfair.

Edited September 19, 2015 by sleekandchic

[sleekandchic]

Oh, also....the case of 64 year old gramps and 22 year old blondie:

The girl was a pretty, full-figured blowsy blonde. She also was able to put a sentence together. Many men go kookaluks for her type. Gramps was a well-spoken, well-groomed, well-dressed oldie. Obviously, they had a mutual attraction, and each used the other for his/her needs. If both of them had average IQs, I dont have a problem with the age difference. (I am a 5' 10" blondie, and when I started my career in earnest after grad school, I was approached by an "emeritus" wanna-be "mentor," who wanted much more from me. He was 75, brilliant, and around 5 feet tall. It was very difficult for me to be respectful and kind, yet ward him off. There's a big difference between mutual symbiosis and NOT INTERESTED, no no no!)

But going on JJ is pathetic. I realize that many litigants live hand to mouth, but jeez! Take the loss, people! You are embarrassing your asses for a few bucks. No no no! Please! Just stop.

   Well, I am almost to the point of not even wanting to watch JJ anymore.  She seems to be getting more cranky, more predetermined in her opinions/verdicts.  Of course, she has seen all the evidence before the case is tried, so maybe that gives her more to base her feelings on.

   But I really don't know why she was giving the side eye to the lady with the interpreter.  I am not sure there was no validity to her claims, but JJ was pretty much acting disgusted with her right from the start.

  The case with the loaned/damaged computer, I agree with a lot of the rest of you.  Yeah, she really failed on that one too.  If you are just loaning your computer to a trusted friend for a few days you don't anticipate that it will get destroyed.

   If you have lots of photos on your computer, no way you are going to spend the time forwarding each one of them in an email before you give it to that person.  

   And if money is tight, you don't spend money on a new computer when it is cheaper to get the old one fixed.  We don't all have several expensive estates around the country and have all the money in the world like JJ does.

   It looks to me like Byrd really does not like having to act like he agrees with her lately either but that's his role, so he has to.  He seems to have lost some of the joy he used to express.

   I have read some horrible reviews on the dear web about how the people on the show are selected, given the impression that they have a solid case and then lose, are rushed to sign documents they don't have time to read, etc.  Not sure these are all true, but I suspect some are and her staff is looking for good tv, not justice for anybody.

I didn't really pay much attention that case - was too distracted by tatted Mom and her evil Angel, but personally?  I'm paranoid about losing stuff and If I were going to loan my computer to someone, I really would put everything that's precious/irreplaceable on a USB drive. Takes a few minutes and saves a world of heartache.

Maybe this explains their horror when they lose.  They hear, "You have a good case!" and assume that means they are likely to win. When in reality, "good case" means "good TV."  

 

Investing far too many brain cells on this. 

 

The technology cases are frustrating.  But at least they aren't the pit bull/loan vs. gift cases we've all grown so tired of.  I saw a case yesterday where a supposed baby daddy was suing for all the money he'd spent on the child that ultimately wasn't his (all of $635!). In the hallterview, his words of wisdom were for men to "definitely get the [paternity] test."  Excuse me? How about "take precautions" instead?? Last I heard there were actually ways to prevent becoming a parent. Grouch grouch. I need chocolate.

When he said that, I looked at my husband and said, "Gee . . . maybe he could keep his pants zipped.  Then he wouldn't have needed the test."

 

Everything in the world of TV court show litigants seems to be someone else's responsibility.

sleekandchic, I've been wondering the same thing.  Has Judge Judy gone the way of Judge Ross?  If we are now seeing actors and enactments I think this is something, we as viewers, should be made aware.

[Quof]

But the crazies we're seeing lately - Patricia Bean - are real people.  I don't think an actress could portray that crazy so convincingly. 

[Jamoche]

What did I just see? Tuned in just after the last ad break for an episode from 10/27/2011, the show info says "buying a car for an unlicensed teenager causes trouble" - no episode title though - just in time to see a Manic Panic redhead with yellow nails go all trembly because JJ has apparently told her "no" for the first time in her life. There was something about having a car for two years but not getting a license for it, but Mom thought it was OK because she was teaching the kid to drive.

 

Please tell me the entire case is worth tracking down, and some better search terms to find it!

I just watched it on DVR. JJ stuck mom with the bill for traffic tickets because she was stupid enough to allow daughter access to car. Not that great. It was new to me.

[Oinky Boinky]

Return of the THE ESCAPE GOAT!!!!

 

Loved both segments of this 2011 repeat.

 

Loved the shocked gasp with hand to mouth of the daughter when JJ threw her case out.  

 

In the halterview the BF (he said he was not her BF) says she was just looking for an ESCAPE GOAT. +++ drama from trembly daughter.

 

If you remember the great escape goat debate - where the man was arrested for rescuing the lost kitty. Her owner said the kitty was a real escape goat and we were arguing and rewinding dvds to hear it correctly.  

Not sure if these people are all from the same city but apparently lots of people think it is 'escape goat'

 

The first segment was the filipino mom who sends money to relatives girlfriends for school but won't help her son with school.

JJ handling the guffawing fiance was one of the best courtroom ejections followed by a lecture ever!

[SandyToes]

And on tonight's late night rerun - the FEMA scammer/check bouncer! What a despicable human being. 

Was there another case like this? Or did they just edit this one down? Because I recall a similar case where there were more questions about why a govt issued check would bounce, how he could cash it with his sister's name on it, etc.  Same case, or a different one? 

 

And Oinky Boinky, the 'red haired girl" was certainly full of the drama, wasn't she? Not sure in that case who the goat was.  I think I counted 3 potential goats. Idiot parent.

[BubblingKettle]

The first case was about a $50 pair of pants??  How did these people get away without having to hear the "My parents didn't put me through law school to hear about..." speech? Oh, and red flag with the boyfriend who responded with "most of the time" when asked if he and his girlfriend get along. My guess is her performance in court motivated him to dump Jessie Spano's ass without delay.

 

The plaintiff made my ears bleed:

Me and Tyler had went (Begone went for gone!)

Shouldn't of went to the store (If she was asked to write that phrase, I'm sure she would have written 'of.')

I got approved for my dog and myself to be upstairs (I am so sick of the misuse of the word 'myself.')

 

In the second case, the defendant's dress was nice, and the color and her statement necklace looked great on tv. That's all that captured my interest about that case.

No JJ for me today.  Our cable (again) has crapped out on channels 2-8.  It does this pretty regularly, and those channels are CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX.    I HATE cable!

What a disgusting, nasty, lying little slimeball. ...     ... you little gremlin?

 

Re: the limo company owner.  Such an accurate description!  I didn't realize this was on the DVR, so just saw it this afternoon. Brain and eye bleach needed. Gremlin indeed. What an odious, vile creature. And that's sayin' somethin' for this show. Great audience reactions, too.  They don't applaud often.

 

It was good the second case had some lighter moments, with the goober unable to recall gf's birthday. Byrd nearly fell over laughing. And Han Solo. hee.

You know, JJ should not have awarded anything to the plaintiff in that case.  She was trying to get away with something by cashing the check.  They were going to split the money.  First she said she was going to get $200 for her trouble.  Then it came out that she was going to get half.  Something not kosher there. 

[27bored]

How much would I have to spend to have you just follow me around and say stuff?

 

I'm pretty cheap. I accept payment in cash, Discover Card, or Honey Mustard Pringles.

 

Today's cases:

 

The case of the girl with her mom and her aunt getting into a fight with teenagers...that was a mess. I kiiiind of don't know who to believe. I felt bad for Maddie, though. She seemed like a sweet girl, and she looked like a young Shannon Doughtery. The defendants, especially the big pie face ass daughter, looked like they were up to no good.

 

The case with the dad suing for excessive child support was a first. Baby mama kept saying "I think another reason he didn't file for child support is..." Heifer, please! He didn't file for child support because he knew if he did you would give him the business. You'd bring up every thing he ever did wrong in your daughter's life, and he didn't want the hassle. Bye, Felicia. And while I understand parents wanting to help pay for their kid's college, you can't wait a year or two out to decide to plan for paying for college...if that's even a wise financial decision to make.

[AngelaHunter]

"I think another reason he didn't file for child support is..." Heifer, please! He didn't file for child support because he knew if he did you would give him the business.

 

Pretty much. I love it when mothers looked shocked when asked if they pay child support. How nice that mom wanted daughter there to hear her parents fighting over how much they've paid for her.

 

Pants in the dryer - oh no! Defendant's boyfriend better watch his back with that Goldilocks from Hell he's with. She's a real estate agent and doesn't mind everyone in her area seeing what an out-of-control, nasty bitch she is?

Plaintiff seemed like a very nice person but her grammar was so horrendous ("Before me and Tyler had went... ") it jarred me.

 

I enjoyed the repeat of Officer Wang suing that pudding-faced, pansy-assed, spoiled 24 year old grown man who lives with Daddy and wants to be a psychologist when and if he ever grows up. I guess speeding in Dad's car makes him feel like a big tough boy. Oh, boo hoo! The mean ol' policeman didn't care that BabyBoy had only $50 in the bank and he called him stupid! Except that he didn't. Even though he is. His big fat lie cost $5000.

I had a boss whose grammar was otherwise fine, but she could not understand reflexive pronouns. Every freaking email or letter included, "If you have any questions, please contact teebax or myself." God, I hated that woman - not for that but she was such an asshole, too. The only thing worse than an asshole is an asshole with shitty grammar.

Did you catch the $50 pants chick's hallterview? She made some comment about how hard it is for pretty women. Bitch, how the hell would you know, you horse-faced drama queen with a shitty attitude? As I said to my ex when she was being unreasonably dramatic over some bullshit, "You're not nearly attractive enough to be so nasty. Keep it up and you'll be sleeping alone." She did, and now she is. Well, maybe she isn't, but she's not my problem anymore. There are too many sane women out there for me to be wasting my time with a crazy one who is always a temper tantrum away from keying my car.

I don't know if pants chick's fiancé is also a jerk, but if he's not he should run, not walk, away from her. Can you imagine spending your whole night listening to her bitch and moan about her stupid pants? I'm surprised he didn't offer to replace the pants just to shut her up.

By the way, If it's so easy to get the $50 you were demanding, why don't you just replace your own pants? I loved when JJ pointed out that most of us work hard for our money. She clearly wasn't referring to her average litigant, but it's nice to know JJ realizes there are many of us who work hard.

I forgot about that! Yeah, just gorgeous with those long, stringy ringlets and a mouth that looks like she sucks lemons for a living. Plaintiff was actually more attractive in every way. She just needs to pick up a book and learn to speak English, whereas def. needs a total personality adjustment. Her little boyfriend looked scared to death. After what JJ tricked him into saying, he better watch his back. And his car.

[basiltherat]

The plaintiff in the pants case had the most luxurious, shiny hair, fit for a Prell commercial!  Defendant had Hair by Cuisinart (and attitude from Hell).  Me, myself and I agree.

[27bored]

I forgot about $50 pants bitch fit chick! If I recall her grill had a starring role in the hit TV show Less Than Perfect. One of her teeth looked like it was heckling the performer onstage if you know what I'm saying.

And the thing is, I would've kinda sorta been in her side. If you owe someone money, just pay up so you don't have to hear about it. I'm thinking boy-name-for-girl had a little money and just didn't want to give it right then, and then dug in once the Defendant started being an asshole. I get it, but if you ruined the chick's high-self-esteem pants and you say you're gonna reimburse her and you know you're moving, just pay up. Or tell her and her tendrils and gnarly tooth to fuck off.

But still, Defendant didn't have to get drunk and show her whole ass and key the girl's car.

Exactly. She was right, up until she made a federal case out of it and then did $2K worth of damage in retaliation for $50 worth of accidental damage. Incidentally, she shouldn't have gotten $50 anyway. She should have gotten the value of the jeans at the time of the loss! I will use my extensive thrift shop experience to assess the value of her used stank-ass pants at fo dollars and fiddy cent (pronounced like the average JJ litigant).

[EtheltoTillie]

Teebax, thanks for bringing up the present-value issue.  I was thinking that too.  Pantszilla was also evasive.  JJ kept asking her if she thought plaintiff's friend had dried the pants on purpose and she kept saying yes, until finally prodded until saying no.

[AngelaHunter]

How great could those pants have been if they were 50$?

 

Really, how awesome could the 50$ wash 'n wears be? I have a friend who bought a pair of pants for $310 and she still wouldn't key my car if I accidentally ruined them, not even if I told her I couldn't pay it right away.

 

I hope everyone in her area thinking of buying/selling real estate and who saw this ep take note. I'd be afraid that if I made her show me too many houses and then hesitated to buy she might throw a hissy fit and vandalize my propery.

[SandyToes]

Pantzilla.  Excellent.   And why were her pants being dried by someone else? Could it be that pantzilla left her laundry unattended in the community laundry room? Her clothes could have just been tossed out on the floor or somewhere else to sit and mildew. You don't want someone else handling your expensive pants (!), camp out in the laundry room and babysit your own pants.

 

Interesting mix of cases today on the early (new?) show. I have uninsured (surprise!) motorist hitting a bicyclist and the foster dog woman. Holy smokes!  Have we ever had a litigant storm out of the courtroom before being dismissed? Yowza. Thank goodness the dog now has a new home with someone who wasn't in it for the money. I sort of wish JJ had awarded the fostering program money just out of spite. Good call to send daughter out of the courtroom, and then calling that vile woman's bluff.

Is that a new ep? I still can't tell which ones are new until I come on this board. My episode descriptions are hilariously wrong on DirecTV.

Teebax, I know!  I get 4 a day, dates and descriptions  (courtesy Dish) match none of the four, but at least they are eps I usually haven't seen.  One of today's "new" eps references events from 2011, so who knows.  Took your advice, and now record everything and sort it out later.  If the bike and dog cases are new today, get ready.  Would love to hear ToasterStrudel's take on those two.

 

Very appreciative for Dish network for rearranging the rerun (maybe) eps for later in the day, when I'm home from work. Now if I could just get the rest of the family out of the house I could enjoy my guilty pleasure all by my ownself.

I don't know about you guys... but as soon as I walk out of Wal-Mart, I expect that pants start at $50.  Quick fixes: lose some weight or call them shorts.

 

I mean, check out Bougie Brenda over here! I guess you're too good to shop at Rainbow like everybody else. Everybody can't afford Cacique.

 

Case with the chick and her bum ass ex-fiance. You can tell he's a goon -- he holds his head to the side, he has a neck tattoo, he mumbles, and he don't remember nothin'. Whenever chicks are with guys like that, many people conclude that the sex must be good. But look at that guy. What are the odds his dick does more than just leans to the side, like his neck does? I'm just saying.

 

And he's obviously a piece of shit for hitting her, but this is my thing, right? How trifling does someone have to be before you realize you're better off without them? Nothing about that dude screams responsible, and he's got more tickets than a little bit. He shouldn't have put his hands on her, but did he need to thump her upside the head to make her realize she should've left?

 

The Plaintiff was a heavy-set chick but not unattractive. Hopefully she can find another guy to pay his way through life. I almost think she's a little messy herself. I love that she was so well-prepared (better than most plaintiffs or defendants), but she might be the kind of person who's attracted to bullshit -- I mean, bad boys.

 

I. DON'T. KNOW.

Good call to send daughter out of the courtroom, and then calling that vile woman's bluff.

 

As soon as JJ sent the kid out of the room, I told hubby, "Judy Judy is going to ream this woman a new one.  She usually kicks the kids out of she's going to tear into the parents."

Whenever chicks are with guys like that, many people conclude that the sex must be good.

 

I haven't watched yet, but we see this so often I can only say that these women are so pathetically desperate for they're willing to hook up with anything that has a pulse. I exempt mature women and their silly toyboys from that. I don't know what their problem is.

In NYC 4 pm was preempted by the Pope. I'm recording the 10 pm repeat on channel 55, if any one gets it try that. We'll see what is shown.

[AngelaHunter]

This is infuriating, just as bad as during the well endowed murderer caper. I got the first three episodes of  JJ repeats, then for the one new show I got the pope walking off a plane for half an hour. I really wanted to see that JJ ep too, because it appeared to be a murderous hillbilly.

 

Assholes!

[EtheltoTillie]

Murderous hillbilly! Oh I just have to see that! Any kind of hillbilly is a must see.

I didn't really know about the preemptions for the fugitive case, because I was not recording episodes during rerun season.

Pope, Shpope, Judge Judy is my spriritual leader!  She should pre-empt everything else.

No way she with him for sex/affection; he hardly looks like he could please any woman, in any capacity. I figure she's one of those types that needs a "project" -- someone to fix up. Whatever her problems were, she still seemed WAY out of his league.
