THE PEOPLES 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😂
The People's Court my dad watched before I was born!
And to think, I still watch. 😂
unfortunately he was found dead
@@wileecoyote5749 You are disgusting.
I watched this when I was 15!
@Tragu6 you could be no Younger than 18 years old 😂
@@PhillipWhidby-m1h Thank you
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.
😂😂😂yep
😂 facts.
I read this in the announcers voice😅😅😅😅😅😅
😂😂💯
The most recent one be dragging the world plaintiff out “this is the plantifffff ” it’s more simple here 😂😂😂😂
I never got to see these episodes so I'm super stoked to see one from the Wapner era!
Doug is literally there his entire life. This is so cool to see!
No he was gone at some point
When? @@Jsarmy87124
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.
Doug has been down for this team since the beginning… impressive.❤❤❤ ❤
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!
You even got to see a guy who dresses like The Fonz!
Judge Wapner I remember watching the People Court what a great Judge. Such great memories. Thanks for uploading.
Thanks for the original ads, too!
"It was Saturday afternoon... it was during the morning." Thanks for the upload!
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.
@SmilingSynic Just wanted to pop in and say that's a great username.
People were just as conniving back then as they are now STOP 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
Exactly! You are EXACTLY RIGHT! Sad. It’s a sad day 😢
It's because the judge is a female
Doug has a good job, glad he's still there.
He's not. Show got canceled
People were so much slimmer back in the day!
Doug still looks exactly the same 😂
Another Classic PEOPLE'S COURT Episode, with My Favorite Judge!
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🥹
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.
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
Thannka veerra muuuch...
@@nicolesibylla2541 You're so welcome.
Or if a case in the defendant's favor: "If you think you've done both wrong and you just can't work it out, do the next best thing and go to court."
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.
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. 🫶🏻🥂
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 🤦
When the show was dignified.
I would usually fast forward through the commercials..but it was interesting to see commercials from 1985💙
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.
Judge Wapner ! The minute I heard the intro the nostalgia came flooding in. I can’t believe I remembered every word 😂
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
The plaintiffs husband really dressed for court. The defendant looks like Sammy Davis jr
IKR???
😂😂😂😂
More like Prince...
That’s not her husband. It’s her neighbor
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
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.
"Your Honor may I present my witness who saw nothing?"
"Your Honor we also have a witness who saw nothing"
Even the 80s commercials are great
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.
I love watching this show as a kid in 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 ! ❤❤😂
I didn’t care about the cases. I just wanted to hear the theme song.
😒
Doug Llewellyn never ages!
Lmao!! Coolant from the radiator is worse than oil!
Oil in milk cartons is obviously safe😂😂😂🤔
Putting oil in a dumpster… oh the 80’s
Rest in Paradise Judge Wapner
Doug is now 85 years old.
Imagine wedding flowers costing only $100
In 1985
I used to watch this in 9th grade.....and I had a crush 🥰 on Doug.....I still do!!!
😮😮😮😮
His top lip doesn't move when he talks.
@@RandyLaheySunnyvale and how age inappropriately creepy! wt- was wrong with me???
he doesn't have a top lip@@RandyLaheySunnyvale
What good was that old lady witness 🤣🤣
Rest in Paradise Judge Wapner and Judge Koch In the Courts of Heaven
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!
I ❤ classic People’s Court!
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.
Thanks. Wish I was back living in the 80s
Same
That guy next to the plaintiff reminds me of Schneider on One Day at a Time 😂
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.👍
Please maybe next time you ask something
How about those commercials?
I think he messed up when he said, “ I change my OIL very often” and then realized what he’d said.
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
Judge Wapner is the OG of Court Show judges!!⚜️
"I know you've been sworn in and I read your complaint".
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
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
these people would be so old now
Thanks
Right! I wonder how they look now. 😅
I remember being 10 years old watching this show 😂😂😂
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.
This was rainmans favorite show 😂
10 minutes until Wapner 😂
@@kellll3420😂
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.
All I can think of is Jon Lovitz as the Devil on SNL.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You watching at home,WORSHIP ME!😆
Mr. Mistoffelees I am warning you…
Rusty Burrell was the bailiff in the Manson trials.
Wow great trivia!
And Wapner was the judge on Manson's initial appearance.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
22:53 - A message from Judge Joseph Wapner.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you! (A fan of people’s court)
I love seeing the old commercials!
Doug Llewelyn 85 years old and going strong.
wow old episodes of the people's court. Keep'm comin!
That Doug is just a baby! So young.
Late 40's
@@WillieFufu-lo1nb He was born in 1938
He was 47 here.
I remember watching these episodes. Classic era tv.
I remembered watching this show on television.
9:57 The verdict for the pump.
12:27
"We'll return for the case of 'The Hijacked Wedding Flowers' after these messages."
Love the old show and the old commercials!
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.
RIP 🙏 Judge Wapner & Baliff Rusty!!
It is disappointing to learn that the People's Court has been canceled.
This show is as old as I am, which is quite remarkable.
Everything about this is pure nostalgia fuel
22:53, A Word from Judge Wapner
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.”
My rent in 1983 one bedroom no living room was $350 a month.
Federal minimum wage was $3.35 an hour
Whomever uploaded this video, bless your entire life!!!
Thanks, Foggy!
I loved Judge Wapner ! He actually listened and didn’t interrupt constantly like Judge Marilyn!
Omg the commercials 😂😂😂
Totally forgot about the drum roll on the bongo at the beginning of the show. 😂 🪘
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 "Public Service Message" at the end was the way I learned about what a small claims court is. And used it for a roommate issue at the time. Won!
pouring used oil in a dumpster is ILLEGAL AS HELL in Californa
Not 40 years ago.
@@gweedoh1 yes 40 years ago in California! Live there 68-74
@@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.
Love this classic!!! Judge Wapner.
Haven't seen judge wapner in so long 😢 my childhood judge❤
This brings back good memories 😊😊
If it was cleared, then was clogged again after he had already moved out, then someone else there is causing the clog
like many defendants she will go to her grave denying her responsibility. Too sad.
I think it was an honest mistake by the defendant
@@JayJay-me8zk Honest mistakes still have consequences.
For the youngins, that is a chalk board. That sound was unique to chalk on chalk board. A good teacher by the end of the day was covered in chalk. Mr.Brookstein , middle school math. Picture Dustin Hofmann meets Al Pacino, with a bad mustache and permanent five o’clock shadow… Coke bottle thick glasses that when he would use the over heated projector, to teach the math, again youngins, ancient means of doing class lessons on a screen.. clear film on a piece of glass with a 10,000 watt high pressure sodium light under that blasting up through what you write with markers on the film… so when ant. Brookstein would use this, his spit would get all over the screen and his glasses would turn dark from the bright lights… then when he turned lights back on, he couldn’t see and…. Well. 😂
Wapner was a lot laxer than Judge Judy regarding hearsay. And that, "What was your name again?" LOL. I miss the polling tho.
He literally cut off the first plaintiff and told her the witness can testify for himself.....
Wapner was best judge. The rest are not comparable.
So nice to watch. No yelling.
