When I first starting watching Judge Judy she was witty, quick and had a sense of some civility. But for the last years, especially since she got her old maid haircut, she has become a hostile, impatient bully, making fun of her clients. Could she be in the beginning of dementia? Or has she burned out? This is the last year of this show. She needs to retire. Her stuttering, screaming and hysterics are not a welcome addition. Can you imagine the mental cases her children must be? They are all probably on Prozac.
