I'm old enough to remember when the courtroom dramas were the rage- "*S*uperior Court," "The Judge" and "Divorce Court" were the best known ones- my CBS station had "*S*uperior Court" and "Divorce Court" right after "Guiding Light" until replaced by "Joker's Wild" with Pat Finn- ABC station had "The Judge" right after "General Hospital"-CBS station bought it for 1988-89 season, giving them 90 minutes of courtroom shows- until "TJW" came in 1990.
