Well, this DVD was a major disappointment from beginning to finish, for me anyway. It kind of pisses me off because I was excited about it and told a lot of people about it. Obviously, I am not happy with the Judge Judy show right now. The least they could have done was make a decent DVD for people who have watched the show. Here a my major complaints:
1. Recent seasons : When you make a DVD, any idiot knows your first one should start out with episodes from your first season. Rather, this DVD had a bunch of cases from various recent seasons, like 2 from the 6th season, a couple from the 7th and even I think like around the 9th or something like that. Cases were all from recent seasons. No one wants to see these cases we've just seen like 2 or 3 years ago. I could have picked up an old taype from out of my cassette drawer and seen all these recent cases. TERRIBLE! It's bad enough that I have seen all these cases
I wouldn't blame the show if they titled the DVD as a certain season, because then Id know what episodes might air. I know I have seen the recent seasons so I just wouldn't buy that DVD if they had it as a recent season. I might buy a DVD that said 1st season, because then I know I wouldn't have seen those episodes (I didn't watch then). And even if I did, it be nice to see something I haven't seen in a while. But this DVD doesn't tell you in advance about any of the dates of these cases or what seasons they air on the cover or anywhere else. I just have to spend my good money and find out, only to learn that they were a bunch of recent cases that I have seen before.
2. Youtube case : The show should have at least looked up what cases were on youtube before tossing cases that you could see on youtube on the DVD. One of the cases is on youtube. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, THE SHOW HAS HAD a million episodes and there using a friggin case that was on youtube. WE'RE PAYING CUSTOMERS HERE PEOPLE. TRY TO GIVE US OUR MONEY'S WORTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Youtube has like a couple cases out of the millions this show has taped and the show decides to take a case that was also on youtube.
3. The advertisements for this DVD : This is what pisses me off the most. How am I to trust this show and believe things about it. The cases were advertised all over the place as some of Judge Judy's most outrageous moments. NOT AT ALL, in my opinion. These cases were hardly outrageous. The selection was CRAP! I have seen other cases that were more exciting than this. THAT WAS UNNACCEPTABLE ADVERTISING. Any idiot who watches this show knows they did a lazy job of choosing what were the most outrageous cases. In my opinion, these were some of the most boring cases. THE FACT THAT THEY WERE SO RECENT MADE THEM EVEN THAT MUCH MORE BORING.
4. Cases weren't even the format as how they aired. This show has a lack of change from season to season, which is a criticism about the show. The only change is in the music and graphics. WELL GUESS WHAT?! That is YET another thing the DVD left out. They don't show how it was aired, with regards to the way the music was, the previews before the music, the comemrcial breaks and stuff. That's how you figure out what season it was from. Rather, they just use the show's current style for each episode. SHOW HOW IT AIRED!!! I MEAN, DAMN! That is why you buy a DVD. To see how it was shown when it aired. NOT WITH ALL THESE MUNDANE CURRENT CHANGES MADE TO IT.
5. I don't know if anyone else who has the DVD had this problem but the way it looked on screen was very poor. It was like dark. The scene was bad when I watched it. And every other DVD I watch has a fine scene. I won't hold the show responsible for this until I know if it has happened to anyone else. However, I do know this much; that I haven't had the same problems with the scenes of any of my other DVDs as I have had with this one. The scene is terrible. It looks dark and crappy when I watched it. ALSO, I couldn't even choose the Extras selection and I pushed every button on my remote control. I mean, I don't have these same problems with any of my other DVDs.
OVERALL: This DVD was crap, in my opinion. And because the cases were so recent and I remembered them as not being very exciting, I didn't even watch it. I THREW IT OUT. I am very furious at the show right now because I have been excited for a long time about this DVD. I have written all about the show over the internet because I was so excited. I feel like the show has SCREWED me over. Because I feel like they were deceptive, why shouldn't I believe in websites like JUDGE (JOKE) JUDY! On websites like these, they say things like this SHOW is all about RATINGS and are only INTERESTED in getting people's money. I have always tried to ignore it because I thought the show was better than that and I thought preaching morals and responsibility, Judge Judy wouldn't be in on such a thing. However, after looking at some of the exaggerated previews for the shows throughout the years and thsi HIDEOUS dvd, I might have reason to start HATING this show.
NOTE: My suggestion to the show is to make it up to its viewers and allow people to preview the cases on any further DVDs on its website to see if their interested in buying it. After this garbage, I think its only fair. It trillion cases, and all these (what I feel at least) recent mundane cases. I can certainly say that I am not going to buy another Judge Judy DVD and I don't know if I am going to watch that show anymore. I feel like the advertising for these DVD was deceptive which makes me wonder about the editing of these shows. Are they the same way is my question?!

LOL! Coincidence! I have just found someone else who feels the same way: (Here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000T28C68/?tag=absolutewritedm-20 )

Justice Served is Out of Order!, September 11, 2007
By Mark Ebert (Lancaster OH) - See all my reviews
I love watching "Judge Judy" and I have been waiting for a DVD for some time, unforunately, this is a disappointment. For one thing, I don't agree that these selections are the most interesting or outrageous cases Judge Judy has had. They would have been much better off issuing the original season, then just nine cases out all the years that "Judge Judy" has aired.
I give five stars to Judge Judge herself, but this DVD leaves a lot to be desired. People with a passing interest in the show may enjoy it, but it's not enough for fans.
