Juvenile Jury
Jack Barry and His Juvenile Jury was the hottest vintage children's live-
action television series in the history of broadcast electronic media. On
Juvenile Jury, children answered the response to problems and everyday
issues sent in by NBC viewers. The panel comprised kids ages five to 10 debating over the problems they confronted with their parents and the
impact these topics and conflicts of interest had on them.
Although JJ was NBC's most innovative kids' program, the Peacock Network pursued this controversial Saturday morning strategy during
the 1950s.
BET aired a remake of Juvenile Jury during the 1980s.
