It's great for what it is
Cndmed7 March 2017
People need to realize this show is not for everyone. If you went around university lying to everyone saying "I'm allergic to weed" or if you hate your old stoner roommate "from back in da day", you will find these dopers annoying and stupid. If you like weed, if you have enjoyed mary j in the past, you will probably get a good laugh. Different shows have different bailiffs. This seems to be different comedians or comedy writers. This change makes each show feel unique. I just wish it was longer. Roast a bowl and enjoy the show. Thanks Doug!

Silly Fun
unsub0008 March 2017
I was positive this would be bad and was actually surprised when I found myself laughing through most of the episodes I have watched and I wasn't even high! I'm a fan of a lot of the guest bailiff comedians and even though Doug can be a little off the mark sometimes he does a good job in this.

I figure you should just take it for what it is, some silly fun that not only the judge and the guest bailiffs get into but most of the defendants/plaintiffs seem to enjoy as well.

Comedy????
clearskiesnight3 April 2017
Love Comedy Central but this show is very hard to watch...in addition to not being funny. Two ladies yelling at each other at the same time while Benson just sits there...occasionally ( unsuccessfully ) trying to get them to stop yelling at the same time. Fingernails on the chalkboard is less annoying. Watched another episode....basically the same. Cancel it...please. There HAS to be something better out there.

More plez ! ! !

Certainly the best 10 to 11 minutes anyone can spend watching TV !

Funny laid back and spell binding. You can't go wrong.

Of course it's aimed at those that appreciate the absurd and enjoy silly levity.

Judge Doug never disappoints!

Look for this show!!!!!

Total load of crap
rbalym7 March 2017
Watched the first episode and to me its the most pathetic show that I have seen to date for a comedy , The cast if you can call them that like to laugh at them selves , Its 15 minutes wasted on TV , It condones smoking pot so be careful if you decide to watch it and make sure there are no children while doing so

Don't expect much, but enjoy it for what it is

This show is a hot mess.

That's not usually how an 8/10 review starts, but it's true, and it must be established upfront. The show is not cerebral, the litigants are not particularly likable and the premise itself isn't exactly must-see TV.

And yet this show is pretty entertaining. It is cast in 15 minute vignettes, 10-12 airtime minutes of quirky people, general confusion and so, so much weed.

As long as you don't go in expecting anything more than a complete mess, you will probably get a few solid laughs out of each episode. The funniest parts are the deliberations, and usually it's the bailiffs who are most entertaining.

Judge Doug gets a surprising number of verdicts right (I'd say he bats about .700). The remainder, in my opinion are totally botched, but what did you expect - great legal wisdom from great legal minds?

It's a train wreck, but it wouldn't be fun if it wasn't. Enjoy it for what it is.

Highly Amusing
jessezass8 March 2017
If you enjoy herbal medication and a good laugh then you will probably enjoy this show. It's stoned people goofing around and having fun so as long as that's something you're into then this should be right up your alley. I find it amusing that some of the people who come here to have their cases heard by a stoned comedian get surprised when their problems aren't taken seriously, I wonder what they expect.

This show is hella funny
drg940224 April 2017
The first episode is a little iffy but stick with it because it only gets better. The Judge is always ready with his one liners and the bailiff is always amusing. If you love Bensen in his other stuff you will love this show. It may not be for everyone but I highly recommend it to all
