*'''''Just or Unjust''''' - A parody of daytime television civil court shows such as ''[[wp:The People's Court|The People's Court]]'', hosted by [[Judge Grady]].  Grady is an extremely misogynistic host who always favors the man in a case, and generally seems to have quite poor judgment -- the advertisement for his show illustrates this, as he belittles a paraplegic war veteran in his court. Instead of actually ruling in favor of the plaintiff or defendant, Judge Grady forces both litigants to participate in a deadly contest, which is chosen by the courtroom audience, to determine who wins the case.
