I was sick recently, and since we shut off cable TV, I found myself exploring that vast wasteland that is daytime television. And then it hit me…
Almost every time I talk to someone about jury duty, they’re trying to come up with innovative ideas for getting out of it. But when I turn on the television in the afternoon, I can hardly fund anything that isn’t a courtroom show about Judge Somebody and roommates with a dispute over the rent or something equally sleep-inducing.
How can we be obsessed with fake court and completely unwilling to serve where it actually matters?
New reality tv courtroom drama…just heard about it….”Judge Whitney and his courtroom drama on why scented kleenex is better than unscented.”
