[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 437955, member: 23"] New Judyverse episodes are appearing left, right and centre, which is mostly a good thing. The Fourth Season of [I]Judy Justice[/I] is well underway in the O'Drama house. I'm 28 episodes in, with the season again totalling 120 episodes which will drop through the remainder of this year. It's business as usual, though Sarah seems more vocal and forthright than in previous seasons. Meanwhile,[I] Tribunal Justice[/I] began airing its Third Season this week, leaving a dilemma about which series to watch, and how. I think I'll watch [I]Judy Justice [/I]either until I catch up with dropped episodes, or hit the halfway mark of the season (whichever comes first). Then there'll be a large block of [I]Tribunal[/I] to watch. It's a rare luxury to have too many new Judyverse episodes to watch. The usual problem is running out of new episodes and, up until last month we'd been watching whatever [I]Judge Judy[/I] episode happened to be playing. The various series generally serve as a digestif, with an episode or two after dinner (sometimes watched while eating if I'm feeling slobbish). Last year, yet another series was added to the franchise: [I]Justice On Trial.[/I] At twice the length of [I]Judy/Tribunal [/I]episodes, it felt an attempt to take things in a different, less formulaic direction, revisiting real old cases as they would have been tried, which includes reenactments of the "crimes". Going somewhat deeper than the other courtroom series, I can see how some would find this appealing. It wasn't for me, though. I found it too heavy (one of the episodes I watched showed someone being buried alive) and also very dry. And even though I'm sure much of the other series are for show, this one being up front about these being old cases just gave a sense of pointlessness to watching. Also, fun as it was to see what is essentially a huge crossover between [I]Judy/Tribunal,[/I] with the key players from both series appearing in [I]JOT[/I], because the series wasn't for me, I came away feeling it was a waste of resources, when I'd have rathered they invested their time in covering frivolous cases about bad weaves or vindictive exes keeping property that didn't belong to them or fender benders for which each claimed the other responsible.
