Divorce Court gets a new judge

Hokey smokes, Divorce Court has been on since 1957? I had absolutely no idea, though I guess that does make since as this was when divorce rates were beginning to escalate. Actually, the show hasn't been on continuously, it's been gone and back several times over the last half century and been through several changes. It also looks like it's about to go through another change, this time on the bench. The opinionated and sassy Judge Mablean Ephriam will be stepping down and replaced with Lynn Toler, an ex-judge from Ohio. Toler was also on another syndicated court show called Power of Attorney, which, like Divorce Court, I never watched either. Nevertheless, the show's longevity proves there's an audience, and I think we should all do our part to keep the divorce rate high so this show can flourish. I plan to start seducing lonely housewives right after lunch. I figure it's the least I can do.
