Recently, NBC revealed that they were canceling Kate Walsh's new comedy Bad Judge. Low ratings and bad criticism from women’s groups, like the Miami-Dade Florida Association for Women Lawyers, doomed the freshmen series. However, there are still a few new episodes, with one on tonight.

The official plot synopsis for tonight’s all new episode of Bad Judge, title “The Cat's out of the Bag,” reads:

“Rebecca's former husband returns with news that an old friend died, and she realizes she still has some pent-up anger toward him; and Tedward decides to court recently single women he meets in the courtroom.”

Check out the all new episode of Bad Judge tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern on NBC.

Some people are very happy that the show has been canceled. Take the Miami-Dade Florida Association for Women Lawyers, who wrote a letter to NBC calling for the show to be taken off the air:

“The Over the past 35 years, the mission of Miami-Dade FAWL has been to promote the advancement of women in the legal profession; unfortunately, Bad Judge is a step in the wrong direction. The show depicts a female judge as unethical, lazy, crude, hyper-sexualized, and unfit to hold such an esteemed position of power.”
