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?
PLEAE bring Judge Alex back!!! He is definitely the most handsome, personality plus an empathetic touch of reality in each and every episode….I cannot believe this show was cancelled!!!! Please bring him back…me and my Mom LOVE this man!
I looked forward to is show! It was one of the better judge shows. He had a sense of style. Judge Judy is getting too nasty, and I don’t watch her anymore. Bring Judge Alex back!
He is the best. Take him off and put judge Maybelline or whatever her name is plus show we’re a judge has to hear from women who has to figure out how many women have slept with how many men wrong
What in the world were you people thinking. Judge Alex was the BEST.***** I LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING HIM. He had everything all wraped-up in one person.
I am very upset this show was cancelled.
Of the few “real” Court/Judge shows (shows not produced by Byron Allen with actors rather than real cases), Judge Alex was easily my favorite. He is handsome, personable and does not make vile, unpleasant comments about the cases. His sense of humor just added to an already great appeal.
Bring it back!
Loved the show, the humor and the fairness. Sorry to see it end.
Loved him and the show. As well as his spontaneous humor, and his banter with the bailiff. I looked forward to the show everyday. Why cancel?
Not only was it a good court show – but Judge Alex was also great eye candy:-)
Yes, ^0^ Judge Alex is a very handsome man, that we all concede which is a big plus.
Was so sorry that Judge Alex Show was cancelled. He was very much appreciated in the way his show was presented. He was compassionate, firm, honest, respectful and entertaining. What a shame this type of show gets removed when others that SHOULD be removed at still on, like Divorce Court and other like shows. Maybe another network should consider picking up The Judge Alex Show. I know I would watch it for sure! Thanks, Judge Alex, for being the man you are.
Judge Alex was the best judge show on tv. I would like to see the show come back.
Wish you was stell on not happy with the new show with the three judges.come back please
i really miss seeing Judge Alex. Wish you would bring him back once again. His comments were fantastic and very funny at times. Loved this show!
please bring back judge Alex her more interesting and entertaining then the judges that are on now. I like watching Judge Lynn and Judge Alex back to back. Daytime tv is not the same now.
Please bring Judge Alex back. I looked forward to an entertaining as well as educational experience every day. He was funny, respectful, compassionate as well as easy on the eyes.
Daytime TV isn’t the same without him.
I really enjoyed the show. it gave me something to do in the afternoon. If you don’t come back on i wish you the best of luck.
