Long-running syndicated court show Judge Alex has been cancelled. The cancellation was confirmed by Stephen Brown, executive VP of programming and development for the Fox Television Stations.
“We would like to thank Alex Ferrer as well as executive producer Kathy Sapp and the entire staff for producing a strong daytime court program,” said Brown in a statement. “Alex’s extensive police, legal and judicial experience combined with his great sense of humor made for compelling daytime television for nearly 10 years.”
Judge Alex debuted on September 12, 2005 and features cases that are presided over by Judge Alex E. Ferrer, a former police officer, lawyer, and Florida judge.
The series is the lowest-rated of the five remaining court shows and will continue airing original episodes through August.
In a statement on his Facebook page, Ferrer said, “It was not my decision to end the show. I enjoyed doing the show and would keep doing it but, for many reasons, the company that produces the show wanted to move on. I am grateful that I was able to work with really amazing people like my EP Kathy Sapp and Associate EP’s Tera Roberson and James Glover; Directors Eddie October, Michael Dimitch and Art Bergel; Bailiffs Mason Burroughs & Victor Simon, my makeup, hair and wardrobe help that changed me from hideous to tolerable; incredible producers and associate producers who found great cases for me to try and so many others in our 100 person staff and crew who made the show a success. I’m also grateful to have so many great fans and friends, many of whom I got to meet; and I’m sure that I’ll still get to meet more of you at other events.”
He also hinted that he may return to television at some point in the future.
What do you think? Did you like Judge Alex? Are you sorry that it’s been cancelled?
I hate to see that this is the end of Judge Alex. I loved his show more then other TV court shows. Please reconsider taking him off the air.
Just finished watching Judge Mablean, who took Judge Alez’s spot. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING FOX??????
And I think that Judge Mablean is another fake show. Judge Alex from what I understand was a true arbitration show with real litigants as People’s Court and Judge Judy are.
he was the only reason I watched court tv I will miss him ,I hope another station will pick him up ………
I’m greatly upset by the cancellation of the Judge Alex Show. I looked forward to 1:00 pm everyday when his show was on. I’ll miss he and Mason so much. I hope that sometime in the very near future Judge Alex will once again be apart of my daytime television watching. The show that has replaced the Judge Alex Show leaves a lot to be desired.
Please bring him back. My family watches him and miss seeing the show.
I was so disappointed when I saw Judge Alex was cancelled. He was funny, fair and extremely interesting. They kept Divorce Court and that just shows the lack of mentality in the audience and the executives that make the decisions. I never saw such an obnoxious show. But, apparently, a classy show like Judge Alex isn’t what the executives want. What a shame. Poor choice!!!!
I was so disappointed by Judge Alex’s cancellation. He was funny, fair and interesting. So they put Divorce Court and its moronic cases on at 3 different times. Ugh. Just shows the mentality (or lack of) of the audience.
makes a person wonder why there is a popular show its gotta go
why does a popular show like Judge Alex get cancelled? Makes a person wonder about the decision makers.
Please bring Judge Alex back so enjoyed the show.
Judge Alex was my favorite of ALL the judge shows. Please, please return him to daily broadcasting. It’s unbelievable that of all the shows his was cancelled.
I am so upset that judge alex is off. Please bring him back!!!
I was surprised and very disappointed to find out judge Alex was cancelled. I looKed forward to watching him everyday. feel you made a huge mistake. I hope you see your mistake and decide to bring him back on and make a lot of viewers very happy.
Hi Barbara!
I sure agree with you! A HUGE mistake was made taking Judge Alex off the air I looked forward watching him also. He and Victor made such a good team, they’d always have me laughing. AND….Judge Alex was/is so good looking. Heck, listen to me, I’m 64 years old! LOL. I guess all we can do is hope they bring him BACK!
Take Care!

They cancel the good shows and leave the garbage like simpsons on for 20 years. What a miscarriage of justice.
I sure agree with you in regard to the Simpsons. Who listens to that show? I wonder what its ratings are.
Who listens to The Simpsons? Small minded, ignorant people who don’t (or can’t) take life seriously. Who listens to Judge Alex? People with at least half a brain who can recognize when others don’t, or can’t think straight. Sad how the media considers the lack of entertainment for the latter.
Some one made a HUGE mistake by cancelling Judge Alex!
Totally agree with you
I am so disappointed to hear Judge Alex was cancelled. He always made me laugh! It was one of the best court TV shows! I will miss the show and I think they should bring Judge Alex back to TV!
I am very upset by the cancellation,this was one of the best court shows to air,whom ever made that decision should be standing in the uneployment line,this is unreal,if ot. Ain’t broke don’t fix. It,& there was nothing broke by Judge Alex
