Built for Court?

The old Coral Courts may be demolished, but there's still a bit of goofy controversy left in the deceased landmark's memory. Co-producers of "Built for Speed: The Coral Court Motel," Bill Boll and Shellee Graham recently wound up as contestants on the syndicated TV show "Judge Alex," based on a disagreement over CALOP funds that helped fund the stellar, 70-minute documentary.

Apparently, Boll won a decision from Judge Alex Ferrer, a newcomer to the growing derby of judge/reality programs. Their episode, recorded in April, was broadcast in October; it airs locally on KTVI at 1:30 p.m.. The "Judge Alex" site didn't have a link to an archived version, but we look forward to catching a repeat. As both folks are colorful characters, we can only imagine the amusing asides and witty wisecracks - though, of course, we take no joy in friends and collaborators coming to odds!

(Holy smokes. There was an RFT story on this in the Oct. 12 issue: "Judge Mental," by Ben Westoff. I did not know that. Rrrats.)
