Eye for an Eye (TV series)

Eye for an Eye (TV series)

"Eye for an Eye" is a television program that has run in syndication since 2003.

The program is a variation on popular thirty minute courtroom reality shows. "Eye For an Eye" is presided over by Judge "Extreme Akim" Anastopoulo, with bailiff and former boxer Big Sugar Ray Phillips. The series was formerly hosted by Cheaters host Tommy Habeeb and Kato Kaelin. The show is unusual among courtroom reality shows for its lack of courtroom ; for example, when Big Sugar Ray Phillips instructs the audience to rise as Judge Akim enters the room carrying his bat of justice, the audience rises while cheering and chanting "Extreme Akim" repeatedly.

Also unusual are some of the rulings issued by Judge Akim. In addition to ordering how much the defendant has to pay, he also sometimes orders them to do ridiculous tasks. In one case, he ordered a man who got a girl pregnant to wear a fat suit for a month; in another, he ordered a landlord whose apartments were not suitable for living to write a new policy while sitting in a truck full of garbage. Such rulings depend upon the fact that the show is a form of binding arbitration rather than an actual court; in normal small claims court, the remedies available at law are generally constrained to monetary compensation for damages caused.

"Eye for an Eye" is shown in syndication in 34 countries.

The theme song for 'Eye for an Eye' is the rap hit, "Ms. new booty".
