Why so many stores?
August 19, 2023

Well let see I turned on the TV to watch something and TV was set to your channel. I watched a little and feel asleep a little and trying to find out what is going on. There is 4 half stories being told at the same time. WHAT. Whose lame $#*! idea was this. I'm not going to watch Court TV because It is to confusing to keep up. Bye all

Constant breaks...
April 25, 2022

They have an insane number of breaks during trials. Seems like abour 10 min. Of trail, then at least 5 min. Of breaks. I'm going to try Law & Crime Network on youtube & see if they're any better. If they are, it's bye bye to Court TV forever!

I understand that ads are necessary, but the ad for the game where you fill up jars, and the MUSIC is too repetitive, literally every single video you watch the SAME AD, and the music is annoying, but to have to hear the liquid go into every jar is probably worse than even chalk scraping a chalk board! And it is with every video no matter how small, same video! WHY? Can't you mix it up? It's killing me. And if I already started watching an episode and I have to pause it, I should NOT have to watch that ad for at least that segment! I already watched it! Can you fix that? Oh it is frustrating.

Frustrating to watch.
January 13, 2024

Watching a show and shuts your show down and goes to whatever the live one is. Also constant commercials. The original live court TV was great. This one is too frustrating to watch. Never again!

What a Narcissist. She is always raising her voice and bragging about how she teaches trial advocacy. Really? Maybe a long time ago. She is always attacking the defendants in a nasty way. And she makes me angry. I expect a more measured tone and impartial thinking from a good lawyer.

I am watching the Depp- V Heard trial and I understand the producers need to show ads but do they have to show 5 ads of the exact same thing in a row? I'm not exaggerating, I've watched the same ad over and over and over and over again.

Whomever programs their commercial breaks needs to be fired. Seriously it's cruel and unusual punishment and makes me leave to literally any one else's coverage because NO ONE has ads on repeat like that.

The programs are just ok
September 28, 2023

I give it two stars because there's entirely too many station breaks, showing the same thing. The musical interludes are a bit annoying and Vinnie Palatine can be a little obnoxious at times.

Cut outs
December 20, 2021

In every critical trial moment, they cut to ads or cut the network off. Bias? The worst when it come to the rescue of Police issues. Republician based network without shame. My review will be sensored based on my purchase of this app. Total bias without intergity...

Terrible
February 3, 2022

Every 15 mins commercials. Break into commercials during the most important parts of a trial.
Watch a trial for days or weeks. Then they stop showing it and go to another case.

Used to enjoy watching Court TV from here in the U.K but now there are just too many Commercial breaks and these are loop tape repeats. I just get fed up now and change channels.

These commercials are insane. I've switched to law and crime on YouTube. Zero commercials and if there is a side bar it goes mute and stays in court. Never leaves.

The substance of Court TV is good. I like the cases and their format. What disgusts me is ALL THOSE COMMERCIALS." Just when I'm getting involved in the procedings, here comes a commercial. When that happens, I change the channel and sometimes I forget to come back, because I get involved in something else. I realize commercials are vital but Court tv has gone way overboard.

I love watching trial coverage but the repetitive (and constant) commercials can drive a person to insanity! I'd pay for an app that kicked the commercials out. Just painful to the brain :(

Poor grammar
March 22, 2024

I usually watch Court TV everyday. This week there has been a male guest lawyer. His grammar has been so poor that I had to turn it off.

Show never comes back on after commercials. Continues to buffer until I back it out and then bring it back on. What's the point, you miss half of the content

I was really excited when Court TV made a return as I watched years ago during the O. J Simpson trial. It is really nice to see the actual trials especially the highly publicized ones, as the public has the opportunity to see the inner workings of a trial. However, over the last couple of months, we are seeing less and less of the actual trials as we are bombarded with commercials approximately every five to seven minutes, as well as constant interruptions of the anchors and guests discussing the five minutes we just watched. We want the damn trial coverage itself and do not need the discussions and constant interruptions. I wish I had a count of how many times the anchors say "We need to take a break" and then watch Jimmy JJ Walker and his Medicare commercials at least 20 times a day during a trial. Then, when another highly publicized trial begins, they will leave the trial we were currently watching and switch to the new trial. They need to leave the anchor chat and opinions for the times of day ie: before trial starting time, lunch breaks, and after testimony has ended for the day. We don't care about their damn high priced anchors, their dozens of commercials needed to pay these anchors and reporters, we want to watch the trial itself as they promote heavily as "Gavel To Gavel Coverage" If we can't have that, take your damn channel off the air again!

I use to be a big fan of court tv, I really had them up on a pedestal but when they decided to take it away from us without notice or pre warning just cut us off cold turkey, to me is unacceptable and shows they don't have any kind of respect or appreciation for anyone and are no different then drug dealers taken away someone drugs, they are sneaky deceiving and big liars and now that I got the channel back after going through a big process to do so I can hardly look at court tv anymore and vinnie palition doesn't even phase me the way he use to I have lost all respect for him he is phony, he is a narcissists needs to be replaced unless he can show a humble apology for what has happened here how can he go on everyday with that big smirk on his face knowing what kind of person he is, I hope to god his irresponsible actions do not cause further damage to others, replace him.
