Judge Judy Avoids Watching Herself on TV
22 Sep
Summary
- Sheindlin avoids viewing herself due to self-criticism about appearance.
- She stopped watching to prevent criticism from interfering with work.
- She is developing an animated series based on viral 'Baby Judge Judy' videos.
Judy Sheindlin, the iconic star of television court shows for many years, has revealed she does not watch her own performances on television. Initially, Sheindlin did view her past work but became self-conscious about her physical appearance, which she felt distracted from the substance of her decisions.
To ensure this self-criticism did not interfere with her professional process, the 83-year-old judge made a conscious decision to stop watching herself entirely. This practice allows her to concentrate on her work without personal critique influencing her performance.
Despite her retirement from her long-running show, Sheindlin continues to engage audiences. She is currently developing an animated television series for adults, inspired by the viral 'Baby Judge Judy' videos. This new project aims to capture a similar observational humor to that of Andy Rooney.
Additionally, her son, Adam Levy, stars in the syndicated series 'Adam's Law.' Sheindlin noted that her own witty remarks, or 'zingers,' are spontaneous and not pre-planned.
