Which of today’s TVLine Items pique your interest?
I am very glad that Judge Milian will be back on the air. I’ve watched the different versions of “The People’s Court” for decades and she has been my favorite judge … and that includes Judge Judy, Judge Mathis, Judge Joe Brown, the various judges and almost-judges on “Hot Bench” and others. Yippee!
What channel will Justice….Milan be on?
Re Lazarus Project – yeah sure until it gets announced that day it’s getting bumped again. Sorry, just bitter at that family of networks because I’m still dying for the next season of Miracle Workers.
