They record like four or five episodes in one day. I think I might even guess which episodes are early and which are late in the day by how fucking cranky she is. She has even said on a few episodes 'Come on, get with it, I've got places to be/I've got a flight to catch.'I read she works 5 days a month so she actually makes more like $750,000 per work day, if she make $45m/year.
Yep, you don't get it.
Average ad rates for primetime TV are now $110,000. That's $220,000 per minute, $3.7 million for an hour show that does 43 minutes of program and 17 minutes of ads which is fairly typical. A highly rated show pulls in considerably more and then you've got reruns, "greatest hits clip shows", syndication and DVDs which generate revenue without extra production costs.
yes if she was a real judge she makes the legal system look terrible...
Legal career
Sheindlin passed the New York Bar Exam in 1965, the same year as her graduation, and was hired as a corporate lawyer for a cosmetics firm.[1] Within two years she became dissatisfied with her job and left to raise her two children. She was soon made aware of a position in the New York court system as a prosecutor in the family courts.[1] In her role as a lawyer, Sheindlin prosecuted child abuse cases, domestic violence, and juvenile crime.[1]
By 1982 Sheindlin's no-nonsense[1] attitude inspired New York Mayor, Ed Koch, to appoint her as a judge in criminal court.[1] Four years later she was promoted to supervising judge in the Manhattan division of the family court.[1] She earned a reputation as a tough judge, notorious for fast decision-making and wise-cracking judgments.[6]
In February 1993 Sheindlin's outspoken reputation made her the subject of a Los Angeles Times article,[8] profiling her as a woman determined to make the court system work for the common good.[1] She subsequently was featured in a segment on CBS's 60 Minutes, bringing her national recognition.[1] This led to her first book, Don't Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It's Raining, published in 1996. She retired as a family court judge that same year after hearing over 20,000 cases.[1] After her retirement, Sheindlin continued to receive increasing amounts of public attention.[1]

as someone else mentioned, she makes decisions without even collecting information. she appears in some cases to find against people because she doesnt like them, rather than because the facts support it. she may be tough and nasty but the old whore isnt fair. if real small claims court is like her show, it really doenst serve much of a purpose

She starts out every case with sworn and signed depositions from the plaintiff and defendant in each case. Many times she will point out where the story one or another is telling in the court is entirely different from what they swore to in the deposition. I have seen her flat out say that she detests someone before deciding the case in their favor so her dislike of people does not seem to matter in the end.
Pure gold back in the 80's.I've never watched the show. Is her show like The People's Court with Judge Wapner?
many times ive seen her say things like "i dont believe you, and you know why i dont believe you? because i dont believe people who are three years behind in their child support!!! now get out of my courtroom. judgement is for five hundred dollas fawr the plaintiff". they should call that show "judge judy's kangaroo court"
