    "Terrible"
    By watcher24, May 23, 2012
    I had stopped watching judge Joe Brown because of all the bickering in the courtroom. I don't like jerry Springer-like programs. But I decided to give it a chance again until today's program with the ?Grobbenstatter's?? -not sure of spelling. The judge went off on this man who was trying to get his life together after going through rehab for drug abuse and having endured child abuse. The Judge was really hard on him for not paying his mother back money he owed her, which he should have done, but went on to compare this man with himself. Well not everyone is Judge Joe Brown. I don't know what difficulties he experienced as a child but I am sure it was not his mother burning his hands on the stove or making him stand naked waiting for his father to come home and beat him with a belt like this man did. That kind of abuse is hard to get past but this man was doing his best. Any mother who would do this to a child is the one deserving of scorn and humiliation, not the one trying to better himself. I noticed in the after court interview she was not denying it happened just outraged that he would tell everyone! The judge was so wrong.moreless

    He puts a lot of people into their places. This show is more entertaining than other judge shows because I think Judge Brown recognizes that it's FOR tv. However, his final decisions are fair.

  • The best!

    I notice alot of people here on TV.com don't like Judge Joe Brown. 5.8?? Are you kidding me? The single main reason for that: They ALWAYS compare him to Judge Judy.
    They think that all judges need to shut up the litigants when they're yelling at each other. They think all court shows need to be proper and true to real life court.
    Guess what? Not every judge needs to be like Judge Judy. And guess what else. This TV, not real life. I don't want any boring proper professional court shows on my TV. I want entertainment. And JJB gives me that, without ever letting things get out of hand.
    I watch Judge Judy too from time to time and I enjoy her alot! But that doesn't mean that I feel that Joe Brown needs to be exactly like Judge Judy and lash out at the litigants for speaking to each other! Stop comparing him already and just move on in life.
    People hate him for no good reason. "He's so old!" Oh yeah blame him for being old and slow in speech! That is just rude! I'd like to see you being a succesfully retired Judge with your own TV show.moreless

    I'm surprised at the number of people who don't think he's "real". The decisions that are handed down are legally binding and are legitimate. I doubt that an actor would have this authority, and the litigants who appear there sure don't seem to be actors, either! I find him very entertaining, and though he can be abrupt and impatient, it's usually with goof-offs who are trying to pull something over on him. If you really want rude, watch the no-class Judge Judy.moreless

    Judge Joe Brown is cool!!! He is very intelligent and has wisdom. I, personally, was on his show and he was very fair. He is outspoken but at least he's not fake. He has lived a long time, he has to be intelligent to even go to law school and pass the bar exam(s), and on top of that to be in the position he is in financially...He can be a little rude (that sometimes comes with age) but over all he's a very good, honest black man doing his thing, in his way! On top of that he's from Watts and from what I've heard he's not a punk either! Look up to our black role models, because we don't have many, and aspire to be more like them, don't put them down. He is educated, financially situated, and not too bad looking! Be blessed all~moreless
