I miss Byrd... BUT !!!! I LOVE the new show!!!! I haven't missed an episode yet!!! I think it's great that there's no $5,000 limit! I think it makes it interesting not to mention both sides have to work harder to prove their side of the cases, I love the Stenographer! & Judge Judy's Grand Daughter, She is Blessed to be learning from her Grandmother, I would be loved the opportunity to learn as she us. I have watched Judge Judy for 25 years working my way up from cleaning people's house to a Full Time job with benefits to buying my own home as a Single Mom of two children. I have listened to her everyday I work! While working she motivates me Thank u Judge Judy for coming back! I'm recovering from a knee replacement and I didn't know what I was going to listen to to motivate me to get back on my feet! Truly an inspiration to me! I'm Grateful Cherry from Athens, Ohio
