‘Anna Nicole Judge’ gets own TV show

Steve Safran June 20th, 2007

Tell me you didn’t see this coming. Judge Larry Seidlin, the histrionic, weepy, wisecracking judge who presided over the ruling to decide where Anna Nicole Smith should be buried, is getting his own TV show. Broadcasing and Cable reports Seidlin will develop the show with CBS Television Distribution (CTD). First up is the production of a pilot, and if CTD likes what it sees, it will distribute the show starting in the fall of 2008. Just yesterday, Seidlin announced he is resigning from his Florida courtroom effective next month. In his letter to Florida Gov. Charlie Christ, Seidlin wrote: “it is now time for me to devote more of my daily life to my own young family and to pursue the many opportunities that have been offered to me outside the judicial system and I have disregarded until now.” No word if there were tears on the letter.
