''Lauren Lake's Paternity Court'' is a syndicated nontraditional court show/tabloid talk show hybrid, bringing family lawyer and legal analyst Lauren Lake as she hears and rules on paternity cases and renders DNA test results. The show is produced by 79th & York Entertainment and the re-launched Orion Television, and is distributed by MGM Domestic Television Distribution. ''Paternity Court'' is executive produced by David Armour and Ed Connolly Jr. According to John Bryan, president of MGM Domestic Television Distribution, the series is MGM's first first-run syndication series to come to the market in years (MGM generally syndicates past scripted output, along with past distribution of ''First Business''). Reports of the series first emerged in December 2012. As early as December 2012, the court show was already sold in 75% of the country. Stations acquired the show on an all-barter basis with 3½ minutes of local and 3½ minutes of national advertising time in every episode.〔〔 By August 2013, the show was sold in 92% of the country. ''Paternity Court'' premiered on Monday, September 23, 2013. The court show's first day of taping was on June 13, 2013. On January 28, 2014, ''Paternity Court'' was renewed for a second season, which added Lake's name directly to the title as ''Lauren Lake's Paternity Court''. Production also moved from Los Angeles to the Georgia Public Broadcasting studios in Atlanta previously utilized by ''Swift Justice with Nancy Grace'' in the 2010-11 season; as with many Atlanta-based productions it also receives tax credits from the Georgia Film Office for producing the show in Georgia, and the GFO has an end credit for their support.〔 ==Conception== An article in ''Broadcasting & Cable'' talking about the conception of the show listed the paternity test-focused episodes of the daytime talk show ''Maury'' as a direct inspiration for ''Paternity Court'', as Bryan said in the article that the high ratings for ''Maury'' among women 25-54 and the popularity of the court show genre made fusing the two concepts possible. Weigel Broadcasting president Neal Sabin, whose station group was among the first to take the program, thought it was a natural fit for the court show-heavy lineup on his stations, saying it was 'a little bit Maury and a little bit court-y'.〔〔 Producers of the series have argued at the same time that ''Paternity Court'' and ''Maury'' do contrast, as ''Paternity Court'' does not focus on the narrative of ''Maury'' in building tabloid drama solely from the "who's your daddy?" question posed by paternity tests and the issues of multiple partners possibly being so with only bare follow-ups by that show's staff, but instead uses the tests on their show to build long-term relationships in a healthy manner once the those results are revealed.〔 As reported in late 2012, court programming is the second highest-rated genre on daytime television. Bryan has stated the goal of ''Paternity Court'' is to reinvigorate the court show genre.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lauren Lake's Paternity Court」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
