Here Comes The Judge


Entertainment Weekly - October 29, 1999
By Daniel Fierman

Ratings: Viewers found in favor of Judging Amy (2nd), as a special Sunday preview of the CBS courtroom drama debuted as the week's highest-rated entertainment program, crushing a rerun of NBC's Mad About You series finale (78th). The final verdict on NYPD Blue vet Amy Brenneman's series won't be delivered until it settles into its regular Tuesday-at-10 time slot, however. America already seems to have cast a negative vote against Fox's Action: Jay Mohr's bleep-heavy Hollywood satire premiered in an unstellar 47th place Thursday at 9 p.m., and the second episode--which aired immediately afterward--dropped to 69th. Meanwhile, even squeaky-clean cohosts Donny and Marie Osmond couldn't save The 79th Annual Miss America Pageant (6th) from drawing its lowest ratings ever. Maybe the contestants should trade in their evening gowns for judicial robes.
