Judging Amy

A drama-series created by actress Amy Brenneman based on her own mother’s real-life experiences as a Superior Court Judge in Connecticut, this show has been nominated for no less than 35 awards since it premiered in September 1999 (seven wins). Judging Amy’s strongest asset is the stellar ensemble cast that also includes Dan Futterman, Tyne Daly, the late Richard Crenna, and Nia Long. The story centres on divorced single mother Amy Madyson Gray (Brenneman), who quits her job as a New York City attorney to go back to her hometown of Hartford, Connecticut. There she lives with her social worker mother Maxine (Daly) and becomes a juvenile court judge. In the process of the series we learn about Amy trying to start a life of her own while dealing with the pressures of single parenthood and a demanding job. Sadly, another terrible waste of at least visually stunning talent. To get a decent look at leading lady Amy Brenneman’s gigantic chest and her neatly trimmed beaver, have a look at the sharp-tongued comedy-drama Your Friends & Neighbors. Nia Long’s most colorful scenes to date can be found in the 1999 thriller In Too Deep. Erika Alexander looked mighty hot wearing her Eve costume in the TV series Street Time. Last but not least, for those who prefer vintage skin scenes there still is former Cagney & Lacey co-star Tyne Daly and her A-cup revealing turn in 1973’s The Adultress.
