The stars of two Florida-based judge television shows have lost their gigs, due to over-saturation.
Judge David Young, star of his own eponymous program in which he presided over small claims cases, will air his last episode in September after a four-season run. His “hook” was that Young is gay. Young’s JD is from the University of Miami College Of Law, and he was a judge in the Miami-Dade County judicial system.
Sony Pictures Television, which produced Judge David Young, has also canceled Judge Karen, the show starring former Miami-Dade County Court Judge Karen Mills-Francis. Her hook is that she is a “sassy” African-American. She graduated from the Levin School of Law at the University of Florida.
Sony says there are simply too many judge shows for these two programs to compete.

These were two of my favorite judge shows as these judges were both very fair minded and treated the people in their courtrooms with respect and kindness. I am very sad to see them go.

If there are two many judges, why has Judge Pirro been slated to be shown multiple times? As far as I am concerned there is still room for Judge Karen and Judge Young. Cut Pirro down to one showing and reinstate Judge Karen and Judge Young for one spot each.
