Judge Marilyn Milian lays into a plaintiff for trusting a 22-year-old man with no money to pay rent on 'The People's Court' (weekdays, syndicated).

Milian harshly criticizes the plaintiff for counting on the young tenant to receive financial support from his family. "You are a 57-year-old adult and you ended up trusting that a 22-year-old, who has no money, would end up paying rent for six months, because you hoped he'd get it from his folks? I mean, that's just goofy. That's beyond goofy," she said.

Not to worry -- this isn't about Simon, Randy, or Paula. I'm not talking American Idol here. Nah, I'm talking real people, real cases, true litigants ... and so much more! You see, I'm generally off from my day job one weekday a week. Of course I have to watch television. It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it, right?

I just never got into soap operas. Well, there was that period decades ago when I spent the summer home with a broken foot before the advent of the internet. But I digress. What I watch these days during the daytime hours tend to be the judge shows. Well, to digress a moment again -- WGN airs Homicide: Life on the Street at noon here. I can't miss that, of course. But then it's justice served. Who judges the judges? I do, naturally!
