Re: RIP
https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertai ... story.htmlJoseph A. Wapner, a retired California judge whose flinty-folksy style of resolving disputes on the show “The People’s Court” helped spawn an entire genre of courtroom-based reality television with no-nonsense jurists and often clueless litigants, died Feb. 26 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 97.
A grandson, Gabriel Wapner, confirmed the death but did not know the immediate cause. Judge Wapner had several strokes in recent years.
“The People’s Court,” which the silver-haired Wapner hosted from 1981 to 1993, was a syndicated half-hour show that turned private arbitration of small-claims cases into highly engrossing entertainment.

Seemed excessive.
Nothing says you've moved on like a dead deer in the back of the truck.

I just caught a few minutes of Arnies 'Commando' over the weekend, and I was surprised to see Paxton with a bit part as a Naval Radar Officer.
