rdf:langString Eye for an Eye is an American fictitious court show comedy series, that was "presided" over by personal injury lawyer Akim Anastopoulo. Anastopoulo is known on the court show by nickname Judge "Extreme Akim". The nickname was meant to characterize the "judge's" severe and eccentric sentences dispensed to guilty parties on the program, known as "paybacks". 'Eye for an Eye' is a National Lampoon syndicated show, and being that it was a pseudo-court show in an era in which most court programming used an arbitration-based reality format, Eye for an Eye was a nontraditional series within the judicial genre. This, however, was only one of many reasons as to why the highly unconventional series was considered a nontraditional court show, the program having adopted many maneuvers that were atypical to the traditional present court shows. Taped at a studio in Dallas, Texas, the courtroom series aired daily and ran in first-run syndication from 2004 through 2009. The court show had a total of 5 seasons.
