When I first stumbled upon this show, I thought it was one of those
poorly written and even worse acted skits from MAD TV. Oh how I was
wrong. This crap is a real show! Maria Lopez is nothing more than a
cheap imitation of the 500 or so other court shows currently n the air.
Are the minds that come up with this garbage on drugs, lazy or really
that far out of touch with reality to think this show is fresh and
original? I personally believe Maria Lopez is the long lost daughter of
Leona Helmsley and Ceaser Romero. The fact that Maria Lopez was removed
from the bench and nearly disbarred for her antics in real life speaks
volumes about how ethically bankrupt this woman really is. Her
"12-pack-a-day-of-unfiltered-Camel-cigarettes" voice, overuse of
"cutesy" Spanish terms, reliance on cue cards, and possible
intoxication on cheap gin only add to this train wreck. Sony should put
this show out of its misery forthwith.

I love this type of show but they do rely heavily on the character of
the judge. Watching Judge Lopez made me realize that. Otherwise we
could all just watch Judge Judy and see the same type of case.
Unfortunately, Judge Lopez doesn't have much going for her
personality-wise, but she does have this great gravely voice. Judge
ALex was a cop and you can tell when he starts to interrogate those
before him. Judge Judy is your mom, tough but fair. But I can't find
Judge Lopez's hook. There's nothing about her or the show that makes me
want to sit down and get involved in the cases before her.
When I want justice, I'll watch my beloved Judge Judy.
