Best Television Shows

Filed under: Features

Who’s the queen of daytime television? It’s not ‘All My Children’s’ Susan Lucci or Oprah Winfrey or any of the ladies on ‘The View.’ Nope, the woman who rules daytime wears a long black robe and her name is Judy. That’s right, ‘Judge Judy,’ who has been on the air for 15 years, is now the daytime diva.

In the recent May sweeps period, ‘Judge Judy,’ the syndicated courtroom reality show presided over by former jurist Judith Sheindlin, was the most-watched daytime show of all. Nearly 6.4 million total viewers per episode. That’s an increase from a year ago of over 10 percent and good enough to topple ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ — even in its final season!
