Judging Amy is not Daly's show. It's Amy Brenneman's. The former NYPD Blue actress is not only the star of JA, but is ... one of the show's producers and has based the series on the life of her own mother, Juvenile Court Judge Frederica S. Brenneman. Prior to the series' first episode, Judge Gray appeared to have it all: a nice home, a good career as a corporate lawyer, a beautiful daughter, and a hard-working husband. But things were not all rosy at home, and when Amy and her husband separated, she took her daughter Lauren (Karle Warren) and moved back home to Connecticut to live with her headstrong mother, Maxine (Daly). After being appointed to the bench in the Hartford juvenile courts system, Amy finds her life becoming increasingly complicated, and it is at this point that the series picks up her story.

Since its debut in 1999, CBS’s Judging Amy has been among the less offensive series in prime-time. No longer! The third episode of the new season, October 9, boasts the most blatant, in-your-face male nudity of any network to date. AFA President Don Wildmon said, "It’s a new low for network TV. CBS executives should hang their heads in shame for this offensive display."

After six seasons, Judging Amy was cancelled by CBS on May 18, 2005. It still had solid ratings in its time slot, but the network felt the other pilots for the new season would garner even better ratings, especially among younger viewers. In the US, reruns aired on the TNT cable channel but was removed for their 2007 Fall lineup. The final broadcast was on August 31, 2007, with the airing of the fifth-season episode "The Long Good-Bye". In Canada, it airs on Corus Entertainment owned W Network.
