The Truth Behind TV Court Shows 

*Judge Judy has left the chat*

The hot dog 🌭 part at the end was so random?? What the hell?!? 😂

I was on the People's Court and my boss lost! They fly you in and sit you in a warehouse and lunch means "cold pizza" then you are told to push the doors open like your mad when you walk in. They edit the heck out of it (all the good stuff) and you completely lose the real meat of the cases. Our case was about Red Sox play off tickets that my boss decided not to buy, the ticket agents SOLD HIS tickets because the ones they brought to court were for a different game!! They didn;t show that on TV, There are tons of people in the lobby to be in the audience lol

You know you're getting old when a narrator talks about watching The People's Court "as a kid," and the clip shows Judge Milian and NOT Judge Wapner.

At least we know it's real ridiculous cases

Shows like these have taught me better life lessons than any teacher would also, I have applied these life lessons to real life and put most teachers back in their place

I’ve always wondered why people would go on national TV to make fools of themselves but if the show pays the settlement then that makes sense lol

Judge Judy has been on longer

I was asked to be on people’s court one time due to a law suit i had against someone. They really do go to every court house and send you letters.

Judge mathis for me! Watching it now btw lol

I was in an episode of Hot Bench in 2017. Tenant was suing me in a court in Southern California. I got a call from a producer telling me that through the freedom of information act they got a hold of the case and what they offered me is this; the case gets dropped legally from record, meaning it doesn't show up at all. Now, he was suing me for $350 and she said they'd pay that to the guy and they'd compensate me for my time at the rate of $500. I said no. We kept going back and forth so we settled on $800 plus transportation from my home to the studios which are in downtown Los Angeles adjacent to the Netflix studios. All in all, I was there for 2 1/2 hours. Lost the case but it was an interesting experience. They don't tell you the air date. I spoke with the guy who was suing me and he told me all he got was $350 and a meal voucher.oh and I forgot to mention, they tell you not to disclose what the verdict is or talk about it or share pics on social media or any other sources or they'll sue you. I didn't.

The peoples court is real, I don’t know if all of them are real. But I know my episode was, I got paid my settlement and extra money for being on the show. Nothing was staged I didn’t have a script or any of that. How it happened was I submitted my case to small claims court and randomly got a call from someone from peoples court asking if I wanted my case on the show. Previously watching the show I definitely wanted my case on there, I love judge milian. My episode was called “losing it on his sister” it was taken off RU-vid and privated but it still plays on tv.

basically; they are all paid, its all for entertainment and Judge Judy is hands down the boss of the lot..

Judge Judy is a mediator. I submitted to sue someone and I got an offer in the mail from her show to have her mediate rather than go to court.

I never purposely watched these shows. These daytime shows and drama shows like springer and Maury shows remind me that I’m poor

Hey INSIDER, just wanted to thank you for your editing style. You allow for a pause in between sentences. So many youtubers do not do this and it's hard to focus on speech when 'the natural pause' is removed 100% of the time.

I’m like a lot of people here… Love me some Judge Judy but I would not want to go on her show unless I knew I was right and had my stuff together😆

So you watch The Peoples court while Im over here watching Caso Cerrado

Anyone else remember watching Judge Wapner? That was the og court show.

Thanks for this!

Between this and judge judy, I like Judge Judy better as a judge. Judge Judy doesn't let her emotions get out of control and sticks with the facts and subject at hand regardless of who she's dealing with whereas I've seen Judge Milian get all wound up and firey when she deals with smug idiots and tends to get sidetracked when something appeals to her emotions. I get more of a talk-showey all-about-entertainment vibe with Milian. I get more of a true no-nonsense courtroom vibe with JJ.

I was on People's Court. The only reason I went was because the show pays the ruling. It was fun though. The judge was cool.

I love people coming in here with this notion that Judge Judy "never lets her emotions get the better of her" a woman who is literally angry at all times, and sometimes decides cases against people because she "doesn't like" them, or their attitude. Just more proof that the internet arbitrarily disregards anger as an emotion. As if the only thing that could fuel anger is pure logic.

Thank you for telling this! Like bruh! TV can real f with your mind. This humiliation... Is just too much. No actual Judge Can legally do this I'm pretty sure

"juicy cases" In other words dirty laundry.

JJ don't play. You never know where that woman is taking the case haha

I love watching court shows it teaches me a good lessons and it shows me how crazy some people are.

Judge milian god bless you..and l love your court..

I remember seeing a similar vid like this......about 5 years ago. I thought it was common knowledge by now.

2:44 so you're looking for drama material

A lot of defendants aren't all that disappointed after losing the case because the show pays the judgement and they get a free trip to L.A. or wherever, and a couple hundred bucks for appearing. Lady on PC actually said, I win anyway because... and the rest was cut. I met one of Judge Mathis's producers who told me they would pay up to $500 to the losing litigant depending on how juicy the case was. Judge Shienlan turned the tables on a losing defendant by threatening to take away his return plane ticket and have him kicked out of his hotel if he didn't provide some information.

Did not know that!!

A sandwich requires a flat or flattened main ingredient. Hot dogs are not flat, therefore a hot dog in a bun is not a sandwich. Cut it into flat strips a laid side by side between two slices of bread, not a bun, THEN a hot dog will be a sandwich.

Yes, they're actual cases whose litigants agree to take it to legally-binding arbitration, which is what these shows are, and the show pays the settlement. If you didn't already know this, then you've been living under a rock.

I've seen when judge milian call people sweetheart, but freaks out when someone calls her that. Respect is for everyone.

i learn so much about justice system with that show

John Masterson created the very first show. For it's first 10 years no one could broadcast a similar show on TV per copyright laws.

I dont even know this exist

It is real. The show called my husband to go on it. Real cases.

"Sheindlin's ongoing syndicated court show, Judge Judy, debuted on September 16, 1996.[12] The court show's present 23rd season commenced on September 10, 2018. Sheindlin has stated that her show's primary goal is to motivate the public to do the right thing, and to show that each individual must take responsibility for their own actions."

I love Judge Judy. She is the best!

She explained a hot dog with such passion. Lol

I have never heard someone say that they enjoy watching these shows. They are just randomly on

Wait....is a hotdog a sandwich?

The cases are real I was in one . If I won I got $200 for the day and if I lost the court settled and paid the settlement

I love Judge Miliam!!

Caso Cerrado with Dr. Ana Maria Polo is my favorite

I remember one episode of Judge Mathis, he mentioned that “Steve Harvey uses the SET right next door”. 😂 I do still believe that some cases are real though.

Judge Milian is the best. She's tough but she's fair.

OMG!!! JUDGE JUDY IS THE BEST!! Im her #1 fan!!

most of what we see in that little box we call tv is fake including sports. But why do they specifically say in the beginning that the cases are real?

The ending was the best 3:49

My relative was on judge Judy, the cases are real. . And Judge Judy is always the best

The People's Court over Judge Judy? Madness.

The end was great

Dream judge🙌🏼. Blessing

In my profession, I had to draw up petitions, testify and testify in court all the time (I am not an attorney) and the one thing I ALWAYS did was to make sure that my ducks were in a row.

if you read at the end of the shows they tell you participants dont pay

Blessing

I used to watch courtshow

Oh, I am so glad the debate about "is the hotdog a sandwich?" has been settled. She made an excellent case and I hope the ruling stands. End of discussion!

I love Judge Millian!! And of course Judge Judy especially when Judge Judy gets sarcastic like I remember one episode of Judge Judy when she asked either the Plantiff or Defendant a question. I don't remember which and I think it was one of the witnesses was getting ready to answer the question. Judge Judy literally shouted "I'm not talking to you. What do think this is a tea party?" I literally rolled laughing over that. The audience on the show rolled laughing also.

A hot dog bun is one piece of bread

We people just love arguments to be justify... to make new ones.

How does the show make money in order to pay out

Some of the contestants smile or laugh while pleading their cases.

1:08 *_J e b !_*

I love Judge Marilyn Mulan.

Nice

No Judge Millian, a hot dog is not a sandwich it's a taco with bread 😤😤😂😂😂

Judge Judy - The Supreme Queen

Judge Milian is amazing. An American icon

1:38 San Antonio main U.S. Post Office located downtown next to The Alamo.

I love Judge Millian

basically its just a tea party

Examiners room 101. Spells blame onez

Loveeeee

@3:26 it’s Lucille Bluth!

I love all court shows

Being a 90s kid this was one of my fav court shows with Judge Joseph wapner

My dream Judge( Never change).

Caso Ceradoooooooooo. Who else loves this song

They only go as far as saying 'the loser doesn't have to pay'..... but then what's the incentive to argue the case?? The truth is, both sides get paid for their appearances then the judgment gets deducted from whichever side loses. Question is, how MUCH does each side get paid and how is that decided? Now THAT'S the question.

The more you know :D

Did she ever apologize for calling the Dr “honey?”

So if the show pays the settlement if the plaintiff wins, wouldn't that be a serious conflict of interests?

I like this video because im a court show fanatic of all court tv which judge ross being my least favorite lol. But i appreciate you sharing the scoop on my favorite shows. Thank you

Never criminal.

I mean who didn’t already know this

watch left behind

Ya'll can agree it's entertaining.

What about : caso cerado.

Judge Melian is awesome

She’s the second Latina judge on a national court show. The first one was Ana Maria Polo who host Caso Cerrado on Telemundo since April 2,2001

I totally agree about the hot dog, it is literally a sandwich.

Um. Where’s the rest of this video?

Nice video but have no idea why if one is doing a video about reality court tv that one would not highlight Judge Judy.

She's funny - I thought a hotdog was a hotdog- !

Yeah bro, as European I like these shows too, and yes this Judge is truly Electric.

I still love Judge Judy tbh
