History Trivia / JudgeJudy

* HeAlsoDid: 1970s GameShow fans may recognize announcer Jerry Bishop from ''Series/TheCrossWits'', while 1980s child viewers may instead recognize him for announcing various promos on the Creator/DisneyChannel. His replacement Steve Kamer is no slouch, either, having announced ''Series/InsideEdition'' since 1997.

* AuthorExistenceFailure: Announcer Jerry Bishop died on April 21, 2020 of heart disease. His vocal work was kept throughout the remainder of Season 24 and the early weeks of Season 25.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: While most cases that are shown are typical court cases, there have been a few that have fallen to this due to the fact that court case is on TV. One case involved a collection of vintage Franchise/StarWars toys that was suppose to be split up between the two parties. Judge Judy wanted to talk about each toy on their own but the producers did not get the rights to broadcast the images and names of the toys. She explained to the parties why she couldn't do that [[note]]She wanted to talk about each toy one by one but couldn't legally say the name on TV[[/note]] and told the parties involved to go back to Civil Court. She also called out her producers for bringing this case to her without having the rights cleared.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Only a handful of official [=DVDs=] have ever been released since the show started, which now are extremely expensive. While there are clips that float around, older full length episodes are very hard to find on the internet. Some early episodes air on Pluto TV along with ''Series/HotBench'' and ''Judge Mills Lane''.

* EditedForSyndication: Certain episodes of Season 25 use reruns of earlier cases, with Kamer dubbing over Bishop’s voice, perhaps due to fewer episodes being taped because of the pandemic. They've also been airing full episodes from as far back as 2012. As this is the final season and ''Judge Judy'' will henceforth be airing only in reruns while Judge Judy does ''Judy Justice'' starting next season, this may be part of the transition.

* MissingEpisode: For some reason, cases filmed for a particular season don’t air until much later. An example is the second case of the December 2, 2020 episode, as evidenced by the pre-COVID audience and, most notably, Judy’s hair. Judging by the mention of 2013, this case was most likely shot for Season 19.
