Judge Judy Bailiff Petri Hawkins Byrd Sounds Off on Not Being Invited to New IMDB TV Show

Judy who told the producers 25 years ago that she want him. Byrd was her Bailiff Manhattan's Family Court. She made him a star, 'am sure he is grateful, while feeling slighted,

But what's the real story on this? Why wasn't he invited back? I'm just now watching the new show on Amazon. I notice nepotism is in full tacky display since her sidekick is her "sassy" granddaughter. Other than this, the show is much the same. I wonder if there was concern that the famous bailiff might upstage the granddaughter.

Also, Judy is working so hard to make the granddaughter's career happen. She speaks to her during the cases and at the end gives the granddaughter a private after-show conversation in her chambers.

Apparently, the granddaughter has done some past TV work and is now working on her law degree with the intention of perhaps taking over from Judy one day, since Judy is now 79, though as sharp as ever.

Roll around in you pile of money, you ungrateful no talent slug!!!

Way to treat people, Judy.

Was he replaced with another bailiff?

A normal person would go out of their way to retain an employee of 25 years whose wife was currently dealing with brain cancer. Not even a spectacularly good person, just a decent one with some sense of morality.

Clearly, that doesn't describe Judy.

R7 He was replaced by a younger bailiff, also a black guy.

Judy’s a cunt and is loyal to no one but herself.

This is quite sad.

That’s fucked up. There was certainly money in the budget, and it wasn’t as if he were some kind of competition who needed to be eliminated. He was a comforting presence who occasionally had a reaction shot.

Judy Sheindlin is a feckless cunt who should thank her lucky stars that someone she loves doesn’t have brain cancer. Although she might not even love like a normal human; she seems to love money a love everything else.

How much fucking money does one person need, at her age?

More like Judge Doody, am I right?

She probably wanted to cut him loose for whatever reason. I don't know what his salary is but I'm sure they would have paid it if Judy really wanted him there. I hope he has enough to retire.

I wonder what he did to piss her off?

[quote] I wonder what he did

He wore nicely-pressed clothes BUT the bigger problems were—

1. He looked very bored.

2. He looked at the papers before handing them over.

Seriously? Was he not supposed to look at the papers? Was he doing that because he was bored or for some other reason? I thought he had been a bailiff for many decades, even before the TV jig, so he must have known the procedure. Was looking at the papers in bad form? I'm really curious about what went down.

[quote] Was he not supposed to look at the papers?

No, he wasn't.

sounds like he was replaced by the mouth breathing granddaughter.

This reflects poorly on her, it’s not the right thing to do, and it was the wrong way to do it. Petty. I won’t watch the new show, and I’m not the only one who feels that way. Unfortunately it’s likely not enough to tank her, but she should face a consequence.

he was a big bore....looked grouchy.....doin his crosswords.....bye bye

Clearly, if there’s a new young black bailiff, then he’s the new Byrd and the granddaughter is the new Judy, when she steps aside.

Byrd would have made more money than the granddaughter and this salary would have probably increased as the granddaughter’s would - which is not fiscally feasible.

A younger duo is in the works, but Judy can’t reveal that she presumes so publicly as it would be off-putting.

Judy only took the gig to groom the audience to accept the granddaughter as she would have no future in broadcasting on her own.

"2. He looked at the papers before handing them over. "

I heard he looked at the papers to make sure no one was handing Judy anything inappropriate. He was just protecting her, not being nosy. Byrd was popular with everybody. Strong, silent type, just what you'd expect a court bailiff to act like. The crossword puzzles he did were a running joke that people got a kick out of, because face it, most of the cases were dull as dishwater

Bad move on Judy's part

Judy is a cunt. Granddaughter is a runt. They're both awful people, without any talent you'd want. But hey, I don't know why. Hey, I don't know why. Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah. Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah. Perhaps they'll die.

Joey Ramone, posting from the grave at R24.

Oh Byrd. Don’t be bitter. You looked mad and bored. Be glad it lasted 25 years and move on. He probably knows that no one else wants him.

Oh Judy, go lick some more dried up pussy, you nasty awful bitch.

Judy's a crazy right winger.

I worked on a project with Arnold Kopelson (producer of Seven, Platoon, etc.) about a year before he died. He was very good friends with Judge Judy and bragged about how the two of them were both Trumpsters in Hollywood and too powerful to mess with.

Yes, he was a monster. And I assume she is too.

How much has he made on Judge Judy? Almost one million dollars a year!

He may be a bit disappointed but I don't think there is a lot bad blood between them, after all, she made him a super rich guy.

Be glad you’re not in the new show, Byrd. It sucks! I watched 3 episodes. Dull cases, the same old schtick by Judy. The worst part is the grand daughter, who adds nothing, and the after case conference in Judy's chambers. Horrific. I won’t watch it again.

I don’t watch the new show but I never liked Byrd. Too irritating.

Officer Byrd priced himself out of the market.

Just like American manufacturing priced itself out of the international marketplace.

Idk what's really going on here. She must've liked him well enough to keep him around for 20 years but she certainly isn't obligated to employ him in perpetuity.

I’d fuck him

How Byrd got the job is actually a very sweet story. He sent her a lyerr congratulating Judy on the job, and joked/asked that if she ever needed a bailiff, to call on him. She thought it was a good idea, told the producers, and brought him along. This idea that Judy isn’t loyal is ridiculous. She made the man more money in a year than he ever would have made in a life time as a bailiff. And he made that money for years and years.

Judy’s Justice is clearly trying to branch out a bit and differentiate itself from Judge Judy, down to the red robe and new hairdo.

It is natural he feels disappointed but the DL pearl clutching that she betrayed him is ridiculous. As is the other side saying that he is an ingrate. He is neither. He is a bit disappointed which is natural but also doesn’t seem too bitter.

Much longer than 20 years. He was her bailiff for years in real life Family Court before she took the TV gig and he volunteered to serve in the same position.

So she goes from nationally syndicated TV show to Amazon online? A good chunk of her audience is old people who aren't going to be streaming.

Did her husband divorce her a second time?

Yeah, that was Byrd's thing. To look bored and Judy would play off of him. It worked for 100 years. He doesn't sound ungrateful. Just upset he was left out of the loop. As ANYONE would be in this situation.

If she was a Trumpster why did she support Bloomberg in 2020?

No one's watching the new show. Those welfare cases who laid around and watched it syndicated don't know how to find it on (also free) IMDB TV.

[quote] and it wasn’t as if he were some kind of competition

Oh, dear!

[quote] even before the TV jig,

Oh, yeah! Now I’ve definitely got my eye on you.

He has said in interviews that they were a team for thirty five years.

HE SHOULD BE GLAD HE HAD AS LONG A RUN AS HE DID. HIS GROUCHY FACE, AND ALWYS PLAYIN CROSSWORDS GOT ON HER/OUR NERVES.
