ELIF - Why aren't people who are caught lying under oath on courtroom TV shows arrested?

I've seen episodes of Judge Judy and such where folks are caught red-handed in lies. Aren't they under oath? Why are they not prosecuted? 

EDIT - thanks, folks.

Because those aren't real court shows. Shows like The Peoples Court and Judge Judy are arbitration shows. Basically both sides decide that they will give the power to decide who wins the case the a 3rd party and accept the out come. Those shows don't depict actual courtrooms at all.
