📺 Farewell to CBS Reality
📆 2026-01-05 11:40
I was genuinely sad to hear that the CBS Reality TV channel has closed down. It feels like the end of a small but meaningful era of comfort television.
CBS Reality was never flashy or cutting-edge, but that was part of its charm. It was dependable. You could turn it on at almost any time of day and know exactly what kind of show you were going to get: familiar, simple, and oddly reassuring.
🛋️ The comfort of familiar formats
In a world where television keeps trying to reinvent itself, CBS Reality stayed true to classic reality and courtroom programming. There were no gimmicks, no forced drama arcs, just shows that let people be people.
That consistency mattered more than it probably gets credit for.
⚖️ Judge Judy will be deeply missed
Above all, I will miss Judge Judy.
Few shows managed to be so entertaining while being so straightforward. The sharp one-liners, the no-nonsense rulings, and the unmistakable sense that nobody was going to waste the court's time made it endlessly watchable. It was the perfect show to have on in the background, or to sit down and actually pay attention to.
Judge Judy wasn't just a TV show - it was a routine, a habit, and for many, a daily dose of blunt common sense.

💔 An understated loss
The closure of CBS Reality probably won't make headlines, but it leaves a gap nonetheless. It takes away a channel that asked very little of its viewers and gave back quiet entertainment in return.
I'll miss stumbling across an episode mid-argument. I'll miss the familiar schedule. And I'll miss knowing that Judge Judy was always there, ready to tell someone exactly how wrong they were.
Goodbye, CBS Reality - and thank you for the hours of comfort TV.
