Judge Joe Brown

Joe is so inconsistent. One day he's yelling at someone for not abiding by 'house' rules and owner has right to make rules for roommates, next he's yelling at homeowner for being too much of a mom...recently the owner didn't like the roommates walking around in skimpy clothes in front of 4 year-old. Doesn't listen..not a boyfriend, is a boyfriend...sheesh. Too much inconsistencies, too much subjective rulings on who he likes better. Watched out of boredom, no cable, but gone, again...then there is his 'protect women...etc', riiiggghhht, that has been inconsistent, too. The only tv 'judge' (sic) that is worse, is the yelling, rude, judy, who has NEVER listened to anyone and rules based on personal prejudices and ratings. She is the ugliest (personality, narcississtic) person on tv.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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~

Judge Joe-abysmal-absolutely! Is he a bad Judge or a bad comedian? Either way he is bad. I won't make the mistake of watching him again.

I hate to say it, but he is really a judge from Memphis, TN. My son was in front of him ten years ago. In fact, it was his last day on the bench when my son went up in front of him for the last time that day. He had taken off so many times in his court room for his airing of his show on tv. They told him to make up his mind one way or another as he was holding up the cases..Yes, he is just as arrogant then, as he is now. Sometimes he does give good advice, other times no..But, he was a judge in the Criminal Courts in Memphis.

Something is wrong with this guy, I think he's confused. He sounds like a total wanna be Jerk! He wants to sound tuff or something but he is really just a RUDE OLD MAN! He doesn't even listen to what people are sayin.... Is he going deaf???
When I watched him on TV today all I could think is "What the F@&k is wrong with him"! Yuuuuck!

This show is an improvement to Judge Judy, but is not that much better.

Rumor is that he's not a judge, but as long as we don't know that for a fact, I can't complain about it. Either way, he thinks that he can do anything he wants, as long as he has the gavel. In fact, he was in jail at one time. I don't see how he could be a judge after that.

The reason why I said that he's better than Judge Judy is because, unlike her, he actually has a gavel. You have to have a gavel to be a judge, but that's not saying that Joe is a judge. This could still be fake.

Overall, I'm not impressed with this show. The People's Court is better.

Joe Brown is too negative and far too harsh w/ the young african-american males on his show. He tears the brothers down instead of trying to uplift them and be positive. Joe Brown is a Jerk. That\\\\\\\'s why no one I know watches, or even likes his show. Piss off Joe! Retire.

Brown is the most sexist and predictable judge on the circuit. When watching this show I can look at a woman and know the outcome of her case before hearing any facts. I dont even know why any women associate with this program. Its unfortunate that our judges still use such prejudicial emotion to judge cases. I am embarassed as a woman that the bailiff and reporter are women. How can they support the hatred that spews from Browns' lips. Get another job... you can't be that hopeless; have some pride. This show set us (women) at least 3 decades back. Id rather strip that deal with a man like him. (I do not strip by the way). He is partially the reason why women would rather strip.. but i guess Jacque and Hally think they are "better," I think not. There is nothing wrong with pride and independence. Joe Brown is the type of man to punish a women for having her own mind and thoughts and not being solely dependant on him.



Joe Brown You Suck!

Judge Joe Brown is a poor representation of what I grew up to know as justice. He is obviously racist/prejudice against the underpriviledged and African American community. He has poor listening skills and therefore renders injustice based on his own ignorant bias. Every case he has handled ought be reviewed and handled properly by someone who knows the law and is passionate about truth and fairness. Hopefully, this show is all just an act, because if this is what we are really subject to in the court system ( a bigot with power) then we really need to pray and put our trust fully in God to remove such fools from having any influence in this system.

rown is always putting down pit bulls! Its awful!! He thinks he can sit up there and play God! I can not stand him and will not be watching him any longer! Take this show off the air. He generalizes the pit bull breed...they ALL must be aggressive! I am a certified dog trainer and have been for the last 12 years, since when did joe Brown become an expect on dogs! I have trained many pit bulls who have become therephy dohgs...visting people in hospitals. judge Joe Brown get off your high horse. Take him off the air!!!!

He needs to keep his personal opinions to himself. He's a jerk. He is intentionally rude to the female, especially. He had absolultely NO RIGHT to blast her and tell her that she should do things the "right way" by getting married ASAP. Excusse me, but they are engaged. Even if they didn't want to be engaged, there is no law that says they have to. I'd like to go into that courtroom and smack that stupid right out of him. I actually yelled at my TV at Judge Joe. Personal feelings of his had nothing to do with their defense OR the case at hand. He's just a jerk!!!

I watch a ton of judge shows, but I have to say that Judge Joe Brown is the absolute worse one of all of them. He doesn't listen to anyone, judges everyone, insults, degrades and humiliates almost everyone who is on his show. If this man was ever a real judge I would be very surprised. This man needs to be off the air..and now. I'm glad to see there are many others who agree how horrible a show this is. I cannot believe that they air a racist judge like Joe Brown. I for one will not watch his show again!

I like Judge Brown; I think he's a good judge and a reasonable man. However, the major problem I have is that he does not control the courtroom. He lets the litigants mouth off to him and actually does not make them listen while he's trying to speak. They are talking at the same time as the Judge is making his ruling and giving advice.



I think that Judge Joe Brown is very laid back and almost befriends the litigants....I can deal with that because I understand the forum of the show and the cases that are brought to the judge. The quality of people are not the best. All that is fine, but there is no excuse in not respecting the Judge, and he should insist upon it. I absolutely hate that about the show; Judge Brown needs to control those people and stay in charge!

i used to really enjoy watching your show but it got to the point that i end up with a pounding headache after watching it.you allow some people to yell and speak out in court at other times people can't say a word out of turn.i think you should regain control over your court room and have the same rules for everyone.until theres one set of rules for every one i'll be watching other judges and court cases.its a sin that you allow people to make fools of them self on television.to be honest with you i don't even know how you can tell what the people are yelling about

I never really watch this show because I think Joe Brown only hears what he wants and doesn't know how to shut his own mouth to listen. The episode with the pit bull attack pissed me off. The couple knew the dog was upset and the owner of the pit moved out of the way. Instead of standing in front of a barking, lunging dog move away, allow the dog to be removed from the area then proceed with your picture taking. That should be for any dog that is aggressive. But the issue I have is is that Brown stated all pits are aggressive, well Brown your an idiot. Not all pits are that way and all dogs should be consdiered vicious, reguardless of their breed. My chihuahua is 100 times more aggressive than my pit mix. I have owned 6 pit bulls in my life I have never had one become aggressive, never had one attack anyone. The problem with the dogs probably started because they were probably both unnuetered males. But reguardless of that Brown needs to educate himself and refrain from making blanket comments reguarding certain breeds of dogs.

Also he might want to shut his mouth once in awhile and listen before shooting off his mouth and making himself sound like the idiot he probably is. Very bad show too bad its still on, even Tyra is better than him.

You tried to show statistics with injuries and reported deaths due to certain dogs, at the top of your list you had pitbulls. But does your statistics tell you that whenever there is a dog attack, if the dog has the slightest trace of pitbull it is automatically catagorized as a pitbull attack. You could be attacked by a dog that is part lab, part german sheperd and part pitbull but in statistics it will just show that it was a pitbull disregarding all the other mixes. With your position in the media you should watch what you say and not judge all because of the stupidity of a few. You've just lost another viewer because of your nonsence!

Judge Joe Brown does have his problems, but they are not as bad as many people claim. Sometimes he does get overemotional about some of the cases that come before him. Sometimes he does treat litigants in bad ways, and does not listen to all the evidence that comes before him. But part of this is that the society in which we live in has declined so much that we need people to try to change it. We can not have men just getting women pregnant, and then leaving the women and the child of fend for themselfs. We can also not have people cheating there friends and family out of money. Both of these problems are getting more prevalent in our society. My belief is that Judge Joe Brown is trying to stop some of these actions, and sometimes that requires harsh words.



Another thing that concerns me is when people get all angry because of one episode or because Judge Joe Brown rants of complains about something. Many of these who complain people who seem to have no legal knowlege about the case at hand, or give the impression that they do not. They just complain about one subject.



Overall I believe that Judge Joe Brown is just trying to do some sort of good in the world by helping settle the cases that come before him. He does have problems, but people treat him much worse then he should be. He really does pay attention to the cases, and uses the the legal system to solve the cases. People should really stop paying attention to JUST the cases, and actually involve the law in their opinions. People should also not judge him based on JUST ONE CASE. This is wrong.



P.S. Pitt Bulls really are dangerous, and after seeing the shows involving Pitt Bulls, he is justified in his comments. They are aggressive by instinct, their behavior many or many not represnt the owner.

I have heard you over and over talk about how horrible pit bulls are as pets and for society. The equivalent of you saying that the thugs that grow/grew up in __________(insert any assumed bad area) are bad people and not useful in society. People should have to be responsible for their pets. You do understand that the person is responsible for the pets action. If a person has a five year old that is out of control, do you attempt to say that apparently the child is a bad human? What? You blame the parent???? Oh I see....because the parent is the responsible party. They have never enforced any type of rules in their house and the child isn't at fault. Just checking. Stop blaming the breed. The problem comes in at the other end of the leash. Look up the stats on which dog bites more and attacks the most. You're going to be surprised. I have pit bulls. They listen, they act like dogs, they have a schedule, and when I give a command, they respond. They listen better than my 13 year old. Learn something about the breed before you start talking bad about them. Breed discrimination is for people who don't want to put blame on people like M. Vick that think it is entertaining to watch two pit bulls tear each other to pieces.

I like the show for the most part, But the new thing where the blonde (Don't know her name) interrupts the show, while the judge is speaking, to say they poled the audience about who is doing well with their case. I don't want to hear that! I'm trying to hear the show. If they HAVE to do that, do it after or before breaks. They give the answer that way, so why interrupt the show? Also, the blonde recaps what we've already heard. We heard it, we don't need a recap of what the judge just said. She's ok but use her another way.

This TV Judge edjudicate's the small and often trivial cases in his Courtroom. Very often, the litigants have no respect for the rule of law. We've all seen it, heard it and are disgusted by it. Litigants with the "it's-all-about-me" attitude are quickly shut down and in some cases the case is dismissed. If this type of edjudication could extend further from the court room and find it's way into the brains of the uneducated, arrogant, rude and just plain stupid, the world would be such a better place!



These people I refer to are more than likely to be running the country an a few years. If they can't get it together, who will?

You know all to well what happens to these dogs and at whose hands it most happens with. Aren't you supposed to be a little more informed than that? I thought a judge educated himself on the case and was there to make judgement based on facts, not prejudices. I guess that's why you are a 'judge' on t.v. instead of a real courtroom setting.



I really think these shows are a joke and feel sorry for you. Next time leave your personal feelings out of it and do the 'job' your supposed to do based on facts and try and remember, that an animal is an animal, it's actions are a reflection of the person behind it. Dogs will be dogs and dogs bite, it happens, but that was an open for you to behave the way you did.

Ok same episode as the pittbull. (Yes the pittbull did it.. and his stats were wrong!)



But the young lady had all the evidence her friend's bank account, the payback, notarized statment, and the text messages and HE ADMITTED IT. He said i got the money but still Judge Brown just ignored the evidence and threw out the case. What a lazy judge. Anytime its a young lady suing a young man he always throws it out and makes the young lady look like a brainless ho. i don't respect this show. He is becoming a lazy judge, who does not listen, talks over people, into pleasing the audience and incredibly chauvinist.

I am so pissed at Joe Brown.....Today he was hearing a case on the first segment of a pitbull that attacked a cat and killed one cat (allegedly) then maimed the other one. Okay so I admit if this pitbull did this (and it totally could have because it's owner was irresponsible and left the dog on a chain.....which for those who don't know can make the dog extremely aggressive), you should punish the deed and more importantly the owner!!!! Ugh, what has me peeved is that Joe Brown decided to make the comment that the akc does not recognize the breed the Pitbull!!!!!! Yes they do! The American Kennel Club recognizes the American Stafordshire Terrier also known as the American Pitbull and since 1934 has been recognized by the akc and shown in akc sanctioned events in the Terrier group!!!!!!!!! He also made the comment that the akc has no standard for the breed and does not sanction the breeding of the Pitbull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ggggggggggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrr. Is that why the akc lists the Staffordshire Terrier Club of America (stca) rescue society/breeders network, and why the stca lists 8 licensed breeders in California?!?!?!? Why am I so upset? Because I was a proud pitbull owner. Our darling girl got very ill from a skin disease that they are prone to called demotectic red mange after we spent over $5,000 to try and save her we had to put her down in order to reduce her suffering. I have later learned, from several different vets, that this was an extreme case that was due to poor breed and a poor immune system. I raised her from a puppy with my 5 very small children and my cat. She was absolutely amazing, never chained, and was the sweetest thing that ever existed. It's the owner not the breed that causes these issues and aggression in these dogs. You have to research them and know how to handle them!!!!!!!!!!! I now own and breed American Bulldogs (which are NOT a breed, nor do we want to be a breed, supported by the akc, they are sanctioned by the ckc, nkc, and aba) and I can not stress enough.....Punish the breed not the deed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are all good dogs!



If Joe Brown is going to make statements like that then he should know the facts!!!!!! All of my facts can be verified on www.akc.org.

Watched a recent show about two lesbians in a dispute over engagement rings. Joe Brown, in the questioning portion asked, "Which one of you is the bride?" WHAT an A@@! Who does he think he is? That had nothing to do with the case in front of him.

How does an idiot like him get a TV show and how does he keep it? He shouldn't have the right to judge a cat fight, let alone citizens cases! Send him to the un-employment line. Blah,blah, blah, blah, blah, so on, so on, so on, so on, so on, blah, blah, blah !

I used to like to watch this show but Joe has really gotten full of himself..A real judge is supposed to listen to a persons arguement, not contstantly talk over the defendent with what "he" thinks is happening I dont know why anyone would go on this show when they are subject to an opionionated blowhard that isnted interested in justice but just wants to make it interesting to people that really dont understand the law. If he wants to attract a bunch of people that are interested in "springer-like" antics then this is the path he should stay on, but I, for one. will stop watching if he continues down this path..Come on Joe...you USED to be fair.

Judge Joe made a general assumption about me without knowing me. I am a Pit Bull owner.. Why? Because they are the last to be adopted, and the first to be put to sleep. They are a very misunderstood. Pit Bulls are more devoted to their owners than a Lab.

Judge Joe Brown made a comment, generalizing all Pit Bull owners. I do not believe Pit Bulls should be owned by just anyone. You have to be as determined as they are. But with the proper training, "they are great dogs". Let me make a general assumption, people like "Mike Vicks" should not own Pit Bulls. If you want to find out more about how wonderful Pit Bulls are, watch Dog Town, the place that rehabbed the worst of the Vick dogs. Judge Joe Brown you owe me an apology.
