Details
The series features Reynolds dealing specifically with family cases including domestic abuse, child custody, reckless parenting, and more. The show draws on Reynolds' experiences as an impoverished child raised by a single mother in New Orleans, Louisiana.[3]. The series was sold in over 80% of the United States TV markets[4][5].
Prior to making the jump to TV, Reynolds served on the bench in Georgia State Court, where she was appointed to the position in 2000 by then Georgia governor Roy Barnes. An appearance on Dr. Phil in 2007 spurred her decision to enter television. Reynolds now joins two other former Fulton County court officials, Juvenile Court Judge Glenda Hatchett and Assistant District Attorney Nancy Grace in jumping from the courtroom to the television studio[6].
First Taping
The show was in its first taping when the 5.4 Los Angeles Earthquake hit on July 29, 2008. Everyone remained calm and everyone including Judge Penny went under nearest furniture. No injuries occurred. In interviews with Showbiz Tonight and Access Hollywood the following day Reynolds says that this was the first time that she experienced a earthquake, then joked about it by saying she was ready to "Shake up" courtroom TV shows.
