Highly sought after episode from The Judge from 1987. Ex-Con Patrick Casey enters Judge Robert J Franklin's courtroom with a bomb and hold the court hostage. No copyright infringement intended.
I do have more episodes...but it's just a matte of having the time to upload them. It is pretty time consuming to convert them from VCR to DVD to RU-vid. I will eventually get to it.
I remember watching episodes of The Judge when I was a teenager at that time. And even though it was not real (meaning staged) at that time it gave us a lot of life lessons that most of the reality shows do not provide or even give us as of right now. So all in all this is a good show.
You know it, in fact I enjoyed Divorce Court (when it was scripted), Superior Court, the Judge, and the People's Court with Judge Wapner on the USA network before the game shows and Cartoon Express.
But.. They're actors. Nobody is a tough guy or hero or anything. They're just actors. Not bad actors. Pretty good for a local TV show that went national. This show was insanely popular and a lot of people believed it was real
15:12 - 15:17 I know this is a drama, but just now I was thinking of having someone giggle at that "Kiss you!" remark and then the guy with the gun would point at him and the giggler would try to stifle it a little and back to the drama. But on a serious note, if he had been born like Christina Applegate (She was the #1 hottest young woman from that time that I could think of and I don't mean any disrespect to her because I actually kind of dig her.) or just your usual hot girl next door, based on the way he's dressed now, I'd like to do a hell of a lot more to him than just kiss him (Does the "f" word ring a bell?) and I damn sure wouldn't kill him. To be more honest, I wouldn't kill anybody in cold blood.
For the longest time I thought the kids the judge was waving to in the intro were HIS kids--and I always wondered how could he have kids so young at his age...........................only later I realized they were his NEIGHBOR'S kids! Whoops.
Oh wow, I remember watching this on WPIX (when it was on channel 11 on local cable) and on USA network along with DIvorce Court, and Superior Court. This was a very tense episode. Still, I hope that there are other eposides of those shows that will pop up
I remember when I sick and I had to stay home from school. This show would come on at 10 in the morning and I thought it was a real. But, now I can see this show was too scripted.
Lewis the bailiff was very brave, and smart as were the lawyers. Things would have been worse if Patrick was able set that bomb off. Judge Franklin is a very fortunate man to have Lewis as bailiff.
@@sha11235 Yeah I noticed that. I also noticed the actor playing Keith’s father -Danny Goldman-who played Eddie Josephs on the original Hawaii Five-O episode I’LL KILL THEM AGAIN.
15:35 "You want to live another couple minutes?" Mr. Casey, I am certain Judge Franklin wants to live another couple minutes... heck he wants to live to go home to his wife once this day is over.
We ALL do! Maybe we can sign a petition. They are probably collecting dust somewhere. The actor Bob Shield died in 1996. I loved him as The Judge. I thought he was a real judge when I was growing up.
Just thought of something new: When Judge Franklin says, "If you shoot him, you'll be a murderer," that isn't necessarily true. He would be that if he killed Keith only. When he did that to Louis later, that is attempted murder, since Louis didn't die. Bad writing, I guess. I mentioned similar stuff to Jerry Prell, who played Hellman awhile back.
There was one episode that I wanted to see but only saw part of it. I'll give you a hint. The judge says "Shut the door Phil and I must say I'm disappointed with your attitude". The episode is entitled Live and Let Live.
I used to watch this when I was in elementary school in the 80’s. I always found the opening theme to be uplifting. I remembered the music note for note all of these years despite not hearing it since maybe the very early 90’s. Great to see this show on RU-vid, thank you for uploading.
Mr. Casey, if Judge Franklin accidentally, and I mean ACCIDENTALLY sent an innocent person to jail he would have the GALL AND THE GUTS TO SAY HE MESSED UP.
I did say this courthouse had bad security. Maybe they didn't have baggage scanners and metal detectors in the 80's, or he built it after bringing in the stuff to the courthouse. To your other question: Patrick had a bomb. He wasn't going to chance it. And remember, he looks at Franklin after Patrick tells him to hand over his gun and Franklin nods, like he should wait it out.
I miss KSTW. Especially the news reports with the tacoma dome and skyline for the backdrop. Great show. Watched this with my grandparents growing up. That judge has a TV announcers voice! Sounds familiar
If the bailiff knew there was only one bullet in the gun, he should of taken one shot at the ceiling and then handed the gun over. Then he could've charged him knowing he wouldn't get shot.
"Hey, *I* am people, too!" Sort of, Mr. Casey. You're in the *bad* people category: what we call monsters, menaces, and the like. And you fit all of those.
@@sha11235 And he understands Mr. Casey's anger... but he's right, Mr. Casey is WAY TOO YOUNG to throw his life away, and he was THAT close to doing just that.
Just realized something else: The guy who plays Alan, the dad, is Danny Goldman. He was a voice over actor (The Smurfs) and was the student in Young Frankenstein who asks Frederick questions. Sadly, he died a few months ago. RIP Clark.
When Franklin said that Casey was sick..he wasn't kidding. A guy like him deserves to be in a mental facility...maybe even for life. Who knows if or when he'll turn his life around?
John Bently Don't worry about it. Not a lot of people remember it. This was during the 80's when courtroom shows were scripted and not the reality crap that is today.
"Have you ever been to prison, judge?" Mr. Casey, the judge's been a law-abiding citizen. He's only seen the inside of a prison from the *outside*, unlike you. The reason he sent you there was because you committed a serious crime. It wasn't a misdemeanor. And while misdemeanors *are* crimes, what *YOU* did was far more serious than you might think.
Judge Robert J Franklin: I'm Judge Robert J. Franklin. I chose the law as my way of serving my fellow citizens. As a judge in the Family Court, I pray each day God will always give me the wisdom to always temper justice with mercy. Remember that was always the introduction? I often think of these shows when I am feeling nostalgic which seems to be most of the time in these terrible days. 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
Two things: 1. Why doesn't Patrick have time for this? He could've waited a second to blow their asses up. 2. It doesn't look like Louis is bleeding at all.
Patrick has had the grasp of Satan. His life will be filled with grief misery failure and pain. If he had turned to Jesus he would live a life of love, happiness eternal bliss and spiritual freedom, and success remember people turn to Jesus and you will have no worries. Turn to Satan and you will face eternal disaster like that Patrick guy
today on the judge the former convict Patrick Casey arrives in the judge courtroom with his baggage with him after he arrive judge Franklin tell him do something and Andy and his family seen the gun now his bailiff was shot in his shoulder can judge Franklin make him stop find out next on the judge.
I love this series! I remember seeing this as a child and this episode freaking me out because I thought these court shows were real even though they always reminded us in the beginning that these were dramatizations (though at the time I didn't know what the word meant).
I remember watching this show as a kid, my mom loved the show. This episode was the only totally different one. My dad said he was almost a dead judge. Lol. By the way, this was terrible acting. The guy holding them hostage wants to have a trial? Plus, these people are too calm. If someone walked into a courtroom with a bomb and gun everyone would be frightened and shaking with fear.
My grandma used to love to watch him I remember ever afternoon I come home from school this was back in the 1980s she would watch Highway to Heaven and miss y'all would come on I think before it did
Hey RavvyJ my name is Willie K from Montclair , NJ and my question is 4 u today since you have divorce court with willam B keene can you uploaded em please ?
I'll try to upload them when I get time. I plan to upload everything eventually. But it just takes so long, and I'm not very good at doing it. But I'll get to it one day I promise.
Don't worry me promise it wont take long , make double sure that uploaded Divorce court 80's tomorrow please ,and thank you !! And by the way what's your name ?
My latest thought: Patrick should've done this when Hellman screwed up. He should've said, "Bring them up here. Where did you get your law license-out of a crackerjack box?" He then puts them in the right order and gives them to Hellman and says, "Now go back and get it right, nerd."
lol Patrick is right. 17 year olds shouldn't go to prison, it doesn't matter what the law says. Those laws are barbaric laws. We focus on punishing criminals as hard as we can instead of trying to rehabilitate them and we wonder why it only radicalizes them further. It's not the government's job to punish or reward people.
I never saw it originally, glad ravvj put it up here years ago. I knew they were going to get their asses out of it though, I just wanted to see how since it seemed so exciting with a bomb in there and a madman. We even saw him in the trailer fire the gun at Lewis and I thought then, "He's dead." He had left the show eventually.
@@sha11235I remember when this aired. I watched it a few times with my brother. Since I was young, I never knew if the show contained actors or it was real. Of course it’s actors but as a kid, I didn’t know. Lol
