Added DiffLines:

* BadBadActing: One defendant makes a show of himself playing both defendant and defense attorney.
* IntimateMarks: The defendant is being sued for mooning someone and as evidence his lawyer presents a picture of his buttock covered with a massive tattoo that the plaintiff didn't remember seeing. Rebecca requests that he drop his pants and show it, and he finds it painful just to stand up, which she takes to mean he just got his butt inked to tamper with the "evidence."
* LawfulStupid: The prosecutor has a touch of this, though more anal than stupid. Some of the humor comes from the clash between his legalism and Rebecca and Tedward's pragmatism.


Added DiffLines:

* ShortRunners: It ran for one season from 2014 to 2015.

!!''Bad Judge'' contains examples of:
* AbortedArc: Judge Wright looking after Robbie in the pilot episode; this arc doesn't continue beyond that, but could be excused by the fact that his mom got out of prison not long after the events of the pilot.
* SeriousBusiness: Judge Wright has a habit of doing this, much to Judge Hernandez's exasperation.
** Tom does this as well, with many of his more trivial cases.
* SpiritualSuccessor: To Series/NightCourt.
* StepfordSnarker: Most of the characters have their moments, but Judge Wright falls into this category the most.
