has gloss | eng: A television judge show (also known as a reality court show or judicial show) features small claims court cases. These shows tend to air five days a week in the daypart of daytime television, and often cost very little to create. Like talk shows, the format varies based on the titular host. In most cases, they are syndicated programs. The Peoples Court was among the first court shows to air in the United States when it began in 1981. Since then, dozens of other judges have had their own programs. Currently, the highest rated television court show in the United States is Judge Judy. A study found that such shows may have a positive influence in encouraging interest in jury proceedings, but may also have a negative influence by distorting peoples perception of courts. |
