Crazy Legs Productions to Launch CUTLERS COURT into National Syndication in Fall 2023

Crazy Legs Productions announced today the launch of CUTLERS COURT, a new nationally syndicated courtroom show, premiering on Sept. 11, 2023. Two-time Emmy-nominated trial attorneys Dana and Keith Cutler, the only married judges to preside over a TV court show, will hear a range of relationship disputes from real litigants. When the disagreement comes to a boiling point, the Cutlers bring their three decades worth of experience as trial attorneys to render the final decision on whether the relationship should continue or if the couple should call it quits.

CUTLERS COURT has been cleared in over 80% of the country, including 17 of the top 20 markets. Launch partners include CBS Television Stations, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Nexstar Media Group, Gray Television, Weigel Broadcasting Co., Tegna Inc., and E.W. Scripps Company, among others.

Production started in July in Atlanta, with 150 original half-hour episodes planned for the Monday-Friday daytime strip.

CUTLERS COURT is produced by Crazy Legs Productions in association with Playing Field Entertainment and distributed by David Bulhack, President and Founder of Big Fish Entertainment. CBS Media Ventures is handling advertising sales.

"After almost 35 years together, we not only have an understanding of the law but also love and life," says Judge Dana Cutler. "Cutler and I are very excited to return to television in this new series to offer our different perspectives on relationships and help people move forward."

This series marks Crazy Legs' first foray into daytime syndication. "We are thrilled to be bringing this production to Atlanta and adding Cutlers Court to our prolific portfolio, further cementing our reputation as an indie powerhouse," says Tom Cappello, executive producer and co-founder/CEO of Crazy Legs Productions. "This series will join our growing content library of feature films, both narrative and documentary, true crime, sports, and docuseries."

"We are ecstatic to bring the amazing Cutlers back to television in this raw, unfiltered, and entertaining courtroom show," says Ross Babbit, executive producer and co-founder of Playing Field Entertainment. "There is nothing more relatable than relationship struggles, and there is no other duo in this genre with more wisdom, honesty, and humor. Dana and Keith bring an engaging energy that will surely resonate with audiences."

When not presiding over CUTLERS COURT, Dana practices education law focusing on charter schools, and Keith is a civil defense trial attorney. Together, they are members of their family's law firm, James W. Tippin & Associates, in Kansas City. The Cutlers have been married for almost 35 years and have three adult sons.

In addition to Cappello and Babbit, CUTLERS COURT is executive produced by Gary Apple, Barry Bloom, and David Bulhack, who, along with Babbit, were behind the syndicated court show Relative Justice. Scott Thigpen, Alana Goldstein, and Keely Muse are executive producers for Crazy Legs.
