Criticisms
The New York Post reported that: Judge Judy, the highest-rated court show since its debut in 1996, had been snubbed by the Daytime Emmy Awards in 2012. The show was nominated 14 consecutive times for Emmy Awards by 2011 without ever winning and wasn't nominated at all in the court category in 2012; rather, a series of other court shows with lower ratings were nominated. In 2008, the now-cancelled Cristina's Court, which only ran for three seasons, won the Daytime Emmy Award over Judge Judy. Cristina's Court went on to win two more Daytime Emmy Awards, one of which was after the show's cancellation in 2010. Since before the departure of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Judge Judy has had the highest ratings in daytime television programming since the 2009-10 television season.

Famous quotes containing the word criticisms:
“I have no concern with any economic criticisms of the communist system; I cannot enquire into whether the abolition of private property is expedient or advantageous. But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the system is based are an untenable illusion. In abolishing private property we deprive the human love of aggression of one of its instruments ... but we have in no way altered the differences in power and influence which are misused by aggressiveness.”
—Sigmund Freud (18561939)
“The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour. Sobriety diminishes, discriminates, and says no; drunkenness expands, unites, and says yes.”
—William James (18421910)
