TV Judge Leaves the Courtroom
Judge Glenda Hatchet has left her syndicated "Judge Hatchett" show after eight an eight-year run, but that hasn't stopped producers from moving forward with a new season.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the popular court show will return for an additional season under the title "Best of Judge Hatchett," which will feature repeat broadcasts grouped by themes – such as "celebrity interventions" or "creative sentencing."
A rep for Sony Pictures Television said the show produced its last original episode in September. An industry consultant says fans would probably fail to notice any changes.
