Tuesday New Shows
Entertainment Weekly - September 10, 1999
Judging AMY CBS, 10-11 p.m.
Debuts Sept. 13 at 8 p.m.
CONCEPT Amy Brenneman (NYPD Blue) is a newly appointed judge who's trying to find herself, and Tyne Daly is her judgmental ex-social worker mom.
THE SCOOP Brenneman (above), who's also exec producer, cooked up the idea: "My mom's a juvenile court judge and I grew up listening to her talk about what she did and thought, 'There's a lot
of gallows humor, people dealing with loss. If we get the right tone, we'll be able to tell some of these stories.'"
BOTTOM LINE Hard to believe a successful woman like Amy could be the jellyfish we saw in a rough cut, but maybe that's just a signal that her character will grow. Fast, we hope.
