Judge Judy, whose real name is Judy Sheindlin, recently shared her nighttime routine with her husband Jerry Sheindlin in an exclusive interview with E! News. The 81-year-old TV judge revealed that they enjoy watching reruns of crime-centered TV shows before bed. She specifically mentioned watching Jerry Orbach in Law & Order and occasionally tuning into Criminal Minds and Vincent D’Onofrio in Criminal Content.
However, Judge Judy made it clear that she is not into true crime podcasts, stating that she has never listened to one and is not interested. She prefers the comfort of familiar reruns when falling asleep, as she likes knowing the end of the story. Judy expressed her reluctance to start new series, fearing that she might not be able to finish them if something unexpected happens.
Her dedication to crime re-runs mirrors the success of her own TV series, including the classic Judge Judy and her new show Judy Justice on Prime Video. Judy attributes the popularity of her shows to her commitment to speaking the truth and delivering consistent verdicts. She believes that people appreciate the clear-cut decisions she makes, prioritizing public safety above all else.
Furthermore, Judge Judy explained that she enjoys watching Law & Order because of its predictable cadence and the satisfaction of seeing the bad guys get caught. The simplicity and reliability of the show’s format appeal to her, much like her own approach to delivering justice on television.
Fans can catch new episodes of Judy Justice streaming on Amazon Freevee and Prime Video. Judge Judy’s unwavering commitment to truth and consistency continues to resonate with audiences, making her a beloved figure in the world of television justice.
