Judge Alex?

So I'm currently sitting in Cox Hall, eating and scorning international trade, and a bunch the workers are sitting here watching Judge Alex. I'd never heard of Judge Alex before, but he looks kinda like Judge Reinhold, and behaves kinda like Judge Dredd. I can barely follow what's going on: there's just two fat women arguing about the bar they co-own. Doesn't seem to be a plaintiff or a defendant or even a case for that matter. Just two hefty bitches yelling and Judge Alex sitting on a thrown of scrutiny deciding their fate. The twist seems to be that these two are a mother/daughter tag team. According to the daughter, the mom is a drunken, lazy racist who's been known to throw bottles at "the coloreds" who come to the bar. Tit for tat, the daughter is supposedly a drug dealer and a murderer. I'm somewhat astounded that these people made it to tv small claims court and that neither has had any more serious criminal charges filed. Or maybe Judge Alex just ignores their pleas of mercy and executes them all with right-wing fury at the end. Regardless, I can't help but feel this show would be infinitely better if it had Jack McCoy in it.
