Did you see coverage of the Anna Nicole Smith hearing on TV? Do you think Judge Larry Seidlin, the Broward County (Florida) Court judge and former Bronx taxi cab driver, should get his own TV show?
(Asked at Almaden Center)

"I haven’t been following it very closely, however, it’s almost impossible not to hear about it in passing. Yes I saw a very animated discussion with the court. It looked like he was auditioning for his own show, but I don’t think he should have one.”

"Yes, I have. I heard about the judge, but I don’t think he should [get a TV show]. It just seemed like he was taking advantage of the situation for his own fame—his 15 minutes. It doesn’t seem right to me."

“I’ve seen very little. I don’t know much about him, but it really sounds like good drama.”

“All I know is what I see on Regis and Kelly while I’m working out and what is left in the magazine stand at the gym. No, he should not have his own show. We have enough junk on TV, we don’t need anymore.”

“No, I haven’t. No, he shouldn’t. The whole situation is an embarrassment. I can’t believe the media is covering it.”

“No, I haven’t. I don’t know who he [Judge Seidlin] is, so the answer is no.”

“No, not really. No he shouldn’t. Why should everyone who tries get a TV show?"

“I’ve been following it very superficially. No, to be honest, I don’t know who he is, and I don’t care either.”
