Painful. That's all I've got for the two episodes I've seen of NBC's Bad Judge.

Bad Judge is just all out of order.

Walsh throws herself into the part but Bad Judge so far is falling apart around her. It's not terrible, and maybe not even a misdemeanor offense. But it's still guilty of not being all that good.

She's fun and funky, nonjudgmentally, the way guys get to be in films by, say, Adam McKay and Will Ferrell, who executive-produce this series.

Until the show figures out how to make sitcom slapstick and inner-beauty melodrama work, it's kind of a mess. As sitcoms go, Bad Judge adds up more to "Huh?" than "Ha!"

The judge should throw the book at the show's writers.

Unfortunately, neither Rebecca the character nor Walsh the actress is funny enough to fill the half hour with laughs, or even smiles.

I like the jokes that are there already, so let's hope this first season gives us more of them and finds a way to make them matter.

This seems like a show exceedingly unlikely to succeed, but it won't be because Walsh isn't funny. It will be because even good shows often suffer from too much tinkering, and not-so-good shows can suffer even more.
