Judge Judy: Unfiltered, Unforgettable

Matt Roush says...

Is there such a thing as a “filtered” Judge Judy? If so, we’ve never seen it. And we won’t be likely to in a 90-minute celebration of this queen of daytime TV courtrooms. From the moment Judy Sheindlin burst on the screen 30 years ago, barking a no-nonsense brand of blunt talk and authoritative judgment, a star was born and a syndicated dynasty begun. The prime-time retrospective follows her journey from Brooklyn to New York City’s Family Court, with home movies and personal archives providing intimate insight, while friends and family—including her son, Adam Levy, also a TV judge—gush their admiration. Celebrity fans including RuPaul, Amy Poehler, Samuel L. Jackson and Steven Spielberg weigh in. And that’s how you raise the proverbial bar.
