Elsewhere in daytime, CTD's season-to-date household ratings leader Judge Judy was the only court show to improve, edging ahead 2% to a 6.6 even though the show was in repeats for part of the week. Judy led all of syndication for the 25th time in the past 31 weeks with one tie.

CTD's Hot Bench, a show that Judge Judy Sheindlin created, bargained for a 2.1 for the fourth straight week despite being in reruns on two of the five days. Hot Bench ranked as syndication's third-highest show in daytime after only Judy and Phil.
Warner Bros.' People's Court and Judge Mathis were flat at a 1.4 and 0.9, respectively. Fox's Divorce Court, which will see Judge Faith Jenkins replace Judge Lynn Toler in July, remained at a 0.7, while Debmar-Mercury's Caught in Providence sank 20% to a 0.4.
