[ WP ] You have recently passed away , and all people must be judged and sentenced to their eternal afterlife . After a long wait , you enter the courtroom of judge Judith Sheindlin .

Chuck Weinstein waited. He waited in the longest line he had ever seen. Hell, probably longer than any human alive had ever seen. Unfortunately for Chuck he was n't alive, so what he saw did n't really count. Chuck was in fact dead, his liver failed him and everything else soon followed. 
 
 The best he was able to gleam from others in the line is that they were all waiting to be judged and sent to their proper afterlives. Which was good, since Chuck had been nothing but a devout Jew and a good man all his life. He had been good to his wife and kids, kind to his coworkers and donated to charity. He had nothing to fear but the long wait. 
 
 After waiting what must have been centuries he finally got close enough to see court rooms of various sizes from small, large stadiums and courtrooms whose edges he could n't see because of fog. Once he reached the front of the line, his name was finally called by a bored looking angel in a balif's uniform. 
 
 `` Chuck Weinstein, go to courtroom 27.'' 
 
 Chuck made the long walk over to the courtroom, passing the other courtrooms he had seen on the way in. Finally he makes it to courtroom 27, and he feels like he's seen this room before. Its a normal sized courtroom, filled with men and women wearing brown leather coats. A man slightly younger than him stood at the plaintiff's table. He himself took his place at the defendant's table. 
 
 An man came out of a door just to the side of the judge's place in the room. He then spoke. 
 
 `` This is case # 3222732 Browncoats vs. Chuck Weinstein. The Judge Judith Sheindlin will be presiding.'' 
 
 A woman walks out from the same door and takes her place at the judge's desk in the room. Chuck finally realized why this courtroom seemed so familiar. This was the courtroom of Judge Judy. But why was Chuck here? Judge Judy spoke. 
 
 `` Do you know why you are here Chuck?'' 
 
 Chuck had no idea. `` No your honor, I do n't. But I've always been good...'' 
 
 `` Only answer my question, nothing else. But I'll go ahead and tell you why you are here Chuck. You are charged with cancelling one of the greatest shows on television.'' 
 
 Oh. Why did that matter? This was heaven right? 
 
 Judy continues: `` The plaintiff states that their dying wish was to see the show reinstated. Since this will never happen the best thing that can be done is to remove any lingering regrets through litigation. That's why you've been in line, and why these court rooms exist. Now prosecution, you may begin. Why do you think this man deserves judgement?'' 
 
 `` Yes your honor. Chuck was a TV Executive at Fox during the year that Firefly was cancelled. We also know that he was present on the board for a couple decades, present for cancelling other shows during that time. This document shows that he was employed in this position for the years claimed...'' 
 
 Judy: `` yes yes I've read the documents, you do n't need to show them to me. Keep going.'' 
 
 `` Yes your honor. The documents we have provided show rating projects for the shows he cancelled, including Firefly. We also have real proof in the form of Family Guy, a show he personally cancelled; Fox ended up bringing the show back. We assert Judy that this man was the cancer that killed network television. Shows only became good again on cable and the Internet. The Prosecution rests.'' 
 
 `` Mr. Scott do n't get too cocky!, You're the plaintiff, you are n't the prosecution nor or you a lawyer. You do n't have to say that! But yes, I think you are right. Chuck, what do you have to say for yourself?'' 
 
 Chuck speaks: `` Your honor, I've been nothing but good to everyone...'' 
 
 `` The question Mr. Weinstein, I do n't care about how good a person you are.'' 
 
 `` Yes your honor. I did my best for my company Fox. Everything that was brought before me was terrible. These were n't thinks that people wanted, so I moved them to timeslots that would better suit the network. People want simple good television; they want drama, they want nonfiction, they want simple. The people want reality tv. Your honor, why would I choose for my network to show bad shows? Why should my network pay for bad shows?'' 
 
 Judy: `` Well I'm going to stop you there Mr. Weinstein, because you do n't seem particularly repentant. Judgement for the plaintiff. The court orders that Mr. Weinstein will have to serve 4,000 years in TV Hell. The court also orders that Mr Weinstein will be forced during those 4,000 years to only watch TV shows he personally cancelled. Maybe in that time he'll learn to recognize good TV when he sees it. 
 
 Mr. Weinstein was escorted out of the room by the bailiff, scared and afraid. Doomed to watch terrible TV in hell for all eternity instead of the heaven he always imagined.
