Court TV

Sometimes it's your only day off and you just want to relax. But what do you do when there's nothing on tv? I'm sure some of you will say, why not read a book, put in a movie, or do something productive? I will agree that these are all valid arguments, but I have already started two loads of laundry and cleaned the inside of my car.

Now, I am waiting for my laundry to be done, so I figured I'd watch a little television. I don't want to put in a movie because I have things to do later and I don't have the time. All I was hoping for was a little "Frasier", maybe an episode of "Friends", but no . . . there is nothing on that I enjoy watching. So what do I do? I leave it on the channel it was already on: "Judge Alex".

I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of engrossed in these ridiculous trials. I just want to know a few things:

Do these "Judges" have any self respect?

Do the celebrity jurors actually consider this "doing their part"?

Why are there so many of these shows . . . "Judge Judy, Judge Alex, Christina's Court . . . " are they really that popular?

Is part of the criteria for being on this show poor grammar, immaturity, and mental retardation?

And finally can you become less intelligent for watching something that is the complete opposite of intelligent?

These are just a few of the things I ponder while I watch.

I think that to get really into Court TV you have to live in a trailer park.

It's some sort of rule...
