No comments??

I can't believe there are no comments on this show! It was a fun show for kids and taught some tidbits on the legal system too. The cases I remember were where a kid's mom threw away his TV guide collection and another when somebody was responsible for picking up a package to be delivered and they didn't, resulting in that package being ruined in the rain. At the end of the show, the one who won the case was given a giant gavel. The host would say, "Let's keep the gavel in good hands!" At the end, the host would read off some kid's gripe to which the audience would reply, "FAIR" or "UNFAIR". Fun TV from Nickelodeon's old days.
