Another person I could have sworn died years ago.
There's dozens of people who owe their celebrity to him from Judge Judy on...

Judge Wapner was a class act. And wanted to educate people about the law. All the followups I have seen, & that certainly includes the unspeakable Judge Judy, are boors & worse.
I haven't seen them *all*, but those I've seen did not, after Judge Wapner, leave me with a desire to see more.

I'd forgotten about him until Rain Man revitalized him. I really liked the few I saw.
