The verdict is in: Syndicated court staples “Judge Mathis” and “The People’s Court” will both end their run at the end of this season, Variety has confirmed. “Judge Mathis” will wrap af…

Both shows come from Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Telepictures Productions and are distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution. According to insiders, the decision was made due to the declining nature of the daytime syndication landscape. As local TV stations shrink their syndication dollars and the advertising marketplace shrinks for daytime syndication, first-run syndication has become a trickier landscape.

“Judge Mathis” won the Daytime Emmy in 2018 for Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program, as well as the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding News, Talk or Information Series in 2004. Judge Greg Mathis, a former judge of Michigan’s 36th District Court, is the longest-running Black male host on television and the second-longest-reigning arbitrator in courtroom TV history, behind “Judge Judy” star Judith Sheindlin.

As for “The People’s Court,” the show won four Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program in 2014, 2015, 2020 and 2021. Judge Marilyn Milian has presided over “The People’s Court” since 2001, making her the show’s longest-reigning host for the series . She was also the first Latina judge to host a nationally syndicated television court show.

What am I going to do without The People's Court in my DVR everyday? Y'all pray for me 🙏🏾

Mathis, I get the cancellation. He's all about Mathis pushing himself. Milian, I pray goes to another studio. She's worth watching because she gets it!! Please don't go away.

During Black History month

Thank God

Well that sucks!

theNFLchick Please take Judge Judy with you!!!

Bout time show us 2 packs of ass

JustSam__ Sounds like a crack head move to me 🤔

I like judge Mathis but I don’t like the way he’d sexually tease and mock women when the case involved sex harassment or abuse

Crazy but I got enough episodes to last me a lifetime

Damn. Bye messy Mathis, you had a great run but they couldn’t let you pass up their beloved yt lady Judy!

nhannahjones Sign of the apocalypse

This makes me so sad!!!

How can they cancel court shows. Where else will people learn the law!!

I doubt that they are tripping about the cancellation!

🙃👎🏾

What?

Daytime TV is literally all going to be newscasts, talk shows, CBS game shows. Kind of amusing how they turned away syndicated dramas/sitcoms despite those shows doing very well on diginets.

I’ve just retired! This is my reason to sit and do nothing. Judge Mathis. Peoples Court. Judge Judy who i have come to tolerate. She cancelled too?

Since the ceo David Zaslav taking over am not surprised by this getting rid of black talent behind the scene and front. He is a bad for warner bros everyone leaving. He canceled minority shows and movie projects. I'm not going to say the word am thinking.

They're canceling and cutting everything on Warner Brothers side but nothing on Discovery this is the worst merger ever

nhannahjones End of an era.

nhannahjones Great news

Boo. Thumbs down decision.

k50cullen I remember Judge Mathis being on The Steve Harvey Show from the early 2000s

Total garbage

nhannahjones What?

It was trash anyway and way too fake🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

What them shows are my guilty pleasure

damn

😂😂😂

Warner Bros. has been having cash flow problems for yrs. David Zaslav, the new CEO is holding a fire sale everything must go. They are also gutting the CW so less original programming and more imported syndicated shows.

Warner is a terrible company.

This just means they get their own Hot Bench.

I summon RobertFeder out of retirement to opine on how this negatively affects the NBC Tower.

What am I supposed to listen to while I’m cleaning?

Too much of TV is reruns but I guess we’ll just get more with these cancellations. Judge Mathis cancelled☹️.

Oh no.

That shocks me. I figured we'd see a slow death of the court show with Judge Judy's cancellation, but this is the two biggest remaining shows left and now both are gone.

Discovery axing everything..

Presumably all of their prior rulings will be vacated. For tax purposes.

Wow

Supreme Court asked to decide if climate change lawsuits are federal or state court territoryWhen local governments sue oil companies over contributing to climate change, which courts have jurisdiction — federal or state? I guess they’ll have to see if ‘climate change’ appears anywhere in the Constitution. If it’s not in there, it’s not a Federal issue. Climate change is natural and all the taxes in the world won't change that

Appeals court rules against Kari Lake in challenge of election resultsA three-judge panel upheld a lower court's ruling that said Kari Lake did not provide enough evidence to support her claims that the election results were tainted by illegal votes and misconduct by election officials. The chief judge wrote in part that the evidence ultimately supports the court's conclusion that voters were able to cast their ballots, that votes were counted correctly, and that no other basis justifies setting aside the election results. The Morning Joe panel discusses. Of course they did. The courts have been getting paid for a few years now. Take it all the way to scotus KariLake keeps on losing.
