He was gone for nearly 20 years after the revived series until 2016. So pretty much around the same length of time he spent as hallway reporter as Curt did.
Heck yes!!! I love finding old people's courts...it happens so rarely. This is my first Wapner episode I've seen...would love to see more of you have them!
The participants in the 80's show were so much more dignified and respectful to the judicial process than they are today on the current show. The show now, which just went off the air, was filled with scammers, immature grown-ups, or just outright liars. In many ways, the show's history reflects the moral decline in this very nation.
22:05 - "If you're involved in a dispute with another party and you just can't seem to work it out. Don't take the law into your hands. You take them to court." - Doug Llewellyn
What a gem! I lived right behind the Chevy Chase florist in Glendale, CA with my first foster mom from newborn until a month after my 9th birthday when my precious foster mama suddenly died, such nostalgia 🥺… and in Armenian culture, friends and family fill up the church and hall with floral arrangements, baskets, vases, etc… for weddings, christenings, funerals, etc, not sure who the judge spoke to, oh my goodness 🫣… I understand the defendant’s confusion. 🫶🏻🥂
Omgdness. I'm an 80s baby, that grew up in the 90s and hearing the intro just unlocked so many memories!!! From being at the sitters House after school, my house, my aunt's . Man these were good times and looking at this today, it's so much calmer and respectable. RIP judge Wapner.
Joseph Wapner ran the ONLY 100% legitimate court television program ever produced. We he left after twelve years, the whole industry went to pot faster than a rocket sled on rails.
“I dump my used oil into a dumpster” they’d give you a fine for that alone these days, and they’d crucify you for draining the coolant into the drainage system. Oh how things have changed.
Can you upload the full episode of The People's Court from Season 1 of the Wapner era in 1981? The episode's cases include "Psst...Wanna Buy a Television Set?", and "The Case of the Cut-Rate Legal Council"; It has the closing credits with a low pitched version of "The Big One" by Alan Tew, as the camera pans around the empty courtroom set.👍
At least in the second case it was only flowers at the wrong wedding. My dad was a .minister and at one point he had a church that was directly across the street from another church. Both pastors had the same name. During a wedding the doors opened and the local undertaking came rolling in with a coffin. It was for the other church.
Seeing the peoples court without judge Marilyn Milian is odd. This show ran from 1981 to 1993 then got rebooted from 1997 to 2023 I did not know it went up until last year wow.
The minute the property manager said that the drain had been cleared and that it was working for a week after the defendant moved out was the nail in the case… it’s possible that if oil was poured down there that it wore out the motor which eventually failed, but she can’t prove that once it was cleared that it wasn’t just a bad pump I had reman’d calipers put on my truck (which I was told were new, but that’s a whole other aspect) and after about 3 weeks one of them proved to be faulty and my brake fluid drained out Reman’d or not, sometimes you get a part that ends up being a dud They replaced the caliper under warranty of course
I'm thinking it is probably illegal to dump ANY car fluids down a drain. Anti-freeze is apparently very sweet and animals will drink it until the ethylene glycol poisons them. As for detergent "temporarily" opening it back up, that leans more towards oil.
Modern coolants are not “desireable” by critters as back then, but anybody with half a brain knows it shouldn’t go down a drain. The rule of thumb here is don’t dump anything in the drain that you wouldn’t be comfortabe bathing in
Chuck is my father and with surprise I discovered this footage for the first time around when you commented. He'll forever be a good boy scout. It's just the way he was raised. That being said, I thought the same thing when he said that! 😂 lol
I remember watching this episode of the day it aired it was a cold day in December I remember the snow outside and going outside and playing in the snow and then coming in to watch judge wapner and it was actually this episode that I watched that day.
The Original The People's Court aired first on KJEO ABC (now CBS) channel 47 then on KSEE channel 24 from 1981-1993. The longer running version aired on KMPH Fox channel 26 throughout the entire 1997-2023 run.
@@claypartridge7553 i very much doubt that. Not one person in the courtroom batted an eye when he talked about dumping the oil and antifreeze (a sump pump goes right to the sewer or storm drain). You know if it was a scandal, the cameraman would be zoomed right in on people's reactions. At the minimum, it definitely wasn't taken anywhere near as seriously as it is today.
Also, it's so weird to see cases for $100-$250. I know about inflation but I'm so used to cases of $3,000-$5,000 nowadays. I'm just interested in how growing up in the 80’s was. Idk what $100 is now with inflation but just watching it now I'm like, “$100? I can pay that now instead of going to court.”
It was so cool to see Judge Wapner again along with bailiff Rusty. Rest In Peace fellows!
Judge Wapner was the best. The only court TV show that I'd ever give the time of day to.
@@Sheha-fc6ht Judge Judy is best in my opinion. No nonsense, witty and fair. She doesn't play!⚖️ #BRUTALITY😂
Don’t you just love the bongos in the intro?😀
Rather play with your moms bongoz😂
I had forgot about those bongos! They are fantastic.
Bobby the baby would do a diaper dance for the opening.

That intro theme music is low-key from Debbie Does Dallas. But y'all didn't hear that from me. When ya know, ya know. I'm out!✌🏽😂
Even the opening narration is more respectful than it is now. Today it would be, "Pump her, he barely knew her"😂. I can almost guarantee it.

Of course they were. But there is a thing called manners and dignity and self-respect. That's changed. The shows speak for themselves. @@DaMusicMane1

Doug has a good job, glad he's still there.
He's not. Show got canceled
LOL I was 5 y.o when this episode aired... I loved the 80s, great times!!
Same. The decade was awesome. I was 3 when it aired.
I was 9. Remember watching Wapner on sick days. Dang, I'm old..
I was 6 and had chicken pox that year... we actually made a major family move right after this one. Seems like YESTERDAY.
You just cant beat the CLASSIC episodes of Peoples Court. Please somebody come up with a rap song called the Judge Wapner song and make it famous🥹
oh my god I remember the chalk board on this show! lol
Damn a chalkboard? I feel old as hell at 44 as I remember when this was not uncommon to use this 🤦

The plaintiffs husband really dressed for court. The defendant looks like Sammy Davis jr

😂😂😂😂
More like Prince...
That’s not her husband. It’s her neighbor
When the show was dignified.
Judge Wapner ! The minute I heard the intro the nostalgia came flooding in. I can’t believe I remembered every word 😂
I would usually fast forward through the commercials..but it was interesting to see commercials from 1985💙
Good’ol Judge Wapner! I’d forgotten he was on this show when I first started watching it. I also forgot it was that long ago!!😂😂
Look at my mans Doug! Lol😂 I was a baby when this aired but remember watching it with my Grandma when I was little
This is the peoples court that I like. Rest in peace judge Joseph Wapner.
Also, R.I.P. Rusty Burrell (Judge Wapner's Bailiff)
@ oh darn! I didn't know he passed too.
Rusty Died in 2002
I loved Judge Wapner back in the day. This was a very popular show at the time. As popular as Judge Judy. Wapner started it all.
How about those commercials?
Joseph Wapner ran the ONLY 100% legitimate court television program ever produced. We he left after twelve years, the whole industry went to pot faster than a rocket sled on rails.
Even the 80s commercials are great
I didn’t care about the cases. I just wanted to hear the theme song.
😒
That guy next to the plaintiff reminds me of Schneider on One Day at a Time 😂
Rest in Paradise Judge Wapner
What good was that old lady witness 🤣🤣
Putting oil in a dumpster… oh the 80’s
Remember watching this as a kid in the 80’s my grandma would have it on . I could hear it from her room .great show ! ❤❤😂
Doug is now 85 years old.
Say “radiator fluid” all matter of factory …as if that’s so much better 😂😂😂
“I dump my used oil into a dumpster” they’d give you a fine for that alone these days, and they’d crucify you for draining the coolant into the drainage system. Oh how things have changed.
these people would be so old now
Thanks
Right! I wonder how they look now. 😅
Lmao!! Coolant from the radiator is worse than oil!
Oil in milk cartons is obviously safe😂😂😂🤔

18:35 I don’t think the woman stole the flowers, but I do feel she made a big mistake by not reading the name on the form.
Back in the day where the issue was a sump pump, and not pouring toxic coolant onto the ground or throwing used oil in a dumpster. 😂
Roger that!
