Why he might be annoying:

He prefers to be called Judge Larry Joe, rather than the more respectable Judge Doherty.
He gives home spun wisdom.
He talks with a deep southern drawl, that has to scare Jews and Blacks alike.
He is a rehash of the number of court shows on TV.
His court room has a rustic look.
Litigants are instructed to think carefully and talk 'very forceful.'

Why he might not be annoying:

His show does very well in Southern Cities.
They tape 10 half hour shows in a day and pay audience members $40 for the day.
Texas Justice hires a lot of security, because litigants have gotten into physical fights.
He is not a control freak like most TV Judges, and allows the litigants to squabble and talk out of turn.
