I like the addition of the two young ladies but although byrd really didn’t do a lot for the exception of keeping folks in line , giving car values and doing crossword puzzles ,i always felt A personal connection between judge Judy and Byrd . I think it was a mistake not bringing him along and I don’t think it was A question of his salary. Judy has an attitude but so did Byrd. I like the way she included him in the conversation. Maybe the new fella will grow on me I’m only on the third episode. P.G
