10 Years
In 2003, Judge Judy appeared on 60 Minutes again. During the interview, she stated, “I have a contract with the company to do the program through the 2006 season. At that point, we will have produced this program for 10 years. Right now, I would be satisfied with a good 10-year run. I think that would really be phenomenal. It would be lovely if we could end on a high note and for me to say ’10 years and I still had people watching and I had a second career that was a blast’.”
Sweet Success
10 years has come and gone because in 2015, Sheindlin celebrated her 20th season anniversary on Judge Judy! This makes the program the first in the court show genre to go 20 seasons and not get the axe. Moreover it’s also the first to go this far under one arbitrator.
