Failed By US Judicial System? New “Eye for an Eye” Court Will Deliver TRUE Justice. Sensational New Reality Courtroom TV Show Delivering Physical Verdicts Not Financial Payments
(PRWEB) May 2, 2004--The public continues to be failed by the US Judicial system – crimes go unsolved and people don’t get justice. The answer the public has been crying out for has arrived – enter “Eye for an Eye” the courtroom the accused fear and accusers have been waiting for, a court which awards action over money, to deliver true justice.
A combination of Jerry Springer and Court TV “Eye for an Eye” leaves accusers with ultimate satisfaction – revenge. Starring Tommy Habeeb “Cheaters” (Host), introducing “Extreme Akim” (Judge) and Former Middleweight Boxing Champion Sugar Ray Phillips (Bailiff) - “Eye for and Eye” is reality TV taken to new limits.
Judge “Extreme” Akim (Akim Anastopoulo) - a legal professional - wields a baseball bat instead of a gavel and delivers ruthless verdicts that serve real justice. “Eye for an Eye” is quickly gathering a cult status from people who feel outraged by the treatment by the current judicial system. In a typical case, plaintiff and defendants clash over the payment of tires, the plaintiff destroys the tires only to be ruled against and having the same amount of damage inflicted to her vehicle.
Akim Anastopoulo (much anticipated debut as Judge “Extreme” Akim), star of the show believes; “This is the next step in reality TV. Judgments in “Eye for an Eye” don’t end in financial but emotional retributions. It’s uniquely cut and dry - you cause someone damage - they get to cause you damage.”
Jerry Bryant, Executive Producer, said, "‘Eye for An Eye’ is set apart from other courtroom shows because deep down everyone wants a chance to get even. Often financial retribution is not satisfactory – ‘Eye for an Eye’ gives people the payback they desire."
This unique programme is leaving audiences aghast across the country. 13 weekly half hour episodes are already airing in Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Atlanta, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee and New Orleans (on WB, ABC, CBS, FOX, UPN) equating to 42% of the US market with other markets in final negotiations. It has been dubbed the fastest clearing show in the history of television. The response has been enormous. In September 2004 a further twelve markets have already secured “Eye for an Eye” to run including San Francisco, Minneapolis and Baltimore.
Michelle Scott, VP of Sales and Marketing for Atlas Worldwide Syndications and Distributions commented, "We are thrilled with the national response for “Eye for an Eye”. We are looking forward to seeing the reactions when “Eye for and Eye” airs in states like Boston and Washington DC.
Gerry Bryant, Producer of the hit show, created the idea for the show after being failed by the judicial system himself. This truly is a show not to be missed.
