According to Nielsen figures,
Judy Sheindlin's courtroom show averaged 6.3 million daily viewers, compared
with 5.7 million for Oprah Winfrey's talk show. "Judge Judy" became
the first show to knock "Oprah" out of the top spot in a decade - and
it was "Judge Judy" that did it the last time, too. Winfrey relied on
more reruns than usual last season, which affected her ratings. Sheindlin is in
her 15th year with the legal show. Winfrey, who's in the 25th and final season
of her syndicated show, will launch a new cable network in January. "Judge
Judy" has been renewed through 2013.
