Clicking through just now, and I counted 4.

Judge Mathis
Divorce Court
Jury Duty
Judge Jeannie

All on right now! There are like 4 more on during the day before these. Who watches this?

2. I actually enjoy them
some more than others (I loathe Divorce Court generally). It's pretty good stuff on usually very simple matters such as contracts, landlord/tenant and property rights.

If I'm at home for whatever reason, I enjoy them. They are also fairly lucrative without much of an expense for the TV networks.

3. I'll have to take your word on it.
Whatever one that caused me to pause and take notice was just two people basically yelling at each other.

6. Pay attention to the litigants. Some of these people will be on "Cops" in a few years.
Dazed and shirtless, being pulled out from under someone's porch.
