A few months ago, I was watching an episode of Cheaters when something in the background of a scene caught my attention.
The scene was of a "suspect" re-capping what had transpired in the episode she was in. In the background on a shelf was a photo from the Adventures of Superman episode, "The Unlucky Number" (1956) of George Reeves and Henry Blair.
The episode of Cheaters was re-played yesterday and I took a quick photo of the scene.
Here's the photo below:

While perusing the directory of stations on Roku television, I saw that the courtroom show, Hot Bench, has its own channel.
There are many channels on Roku including Universal Monsters (1931's Dracula with Bela Lugosi was just on), westerns, news, crime, Cheaters and others.
Denise Santos and I were on Hot Bench nine years ago (season 3, episode 55). Although the verdict by the three judges was mixed, overall, it was a win for me. It is hard to believe that nine years has been reached. Yeesh!
Since I already have a copy of the Hot Bench episode we were in, I needn't bother watching for it.
I did discover a fairly old (2000-2021) show on Facebook, Cheaters. Edited videos of the show are presented on Facebook. Some shows are real and some are staged. Until recently, I hadn't heard of the show, probably due to my then-work schedule.
The premise of the show is (according to Wikipedia):
Cheaters is an American weekly syndicated reality television series featuring couples with one partner who is committing adultery, or cheating, on the other partner. Investigations are headed by the "Cheaters Detective Agency". The series premiered on October 2, 2000, and ended on May 17, 2021. It has been hosted by Tommy Habeeb, Joey Greco, Clark James Gable and Peter Gunz.
Yes, one of the hosts was Clark James Gable, the grandson of Clark Gable. He was a host until his accidental death from a drug overdose.
The show caught my interest as my ex-spouse committed infidelity, which broke up our marriage, so I can relate to the (real) victims, male or female. (Been there, done that.) Still, this is entertaining in a weird way.
Here's an episode:
