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 really liked his show as much as I liked Jackie Glass’ show and yet judge judy is still on the air. Why?
Judge Alex and Judy are the only Judge shows worth watching anymore. The way the other shows mock the courtroom is sick viewing, and most of the people on the other shows are mostly low lifes. Mathis is the worst. The others let everyone talk over each other you don’t know what is being said.
I loved judge Alex and looked forward to watching him daily. Please bring him back.
I came looking for when Judge Alex would return to find out he’d been cancelled…THAT SUCKS!!! I had no idea. I just know I’m thinking it should be time for new episodes now. I can’t believed they cancelled him…I am so mad sitting here thinking about it. Ugh. I do not believe he had low ratings by any means. UGH I just can’t.
The reason that Fox cancelled Judge Alex is because he was ruffling someone else’s feathers because his ratings were the best. I didn’t realize it was Fox that cancelled his show until now. He most likely had lots of Latino, Hispanic and Black viewers which is why they cancelled his show. His show was the best court show on TV. There were some episodes that were so funny-I’d watch them each time there was a rerun. Please bring him back.
Not right he was one of the best courtroom judges to watch I find it hard to believe it was rated so low lousey rating system
I too miss Judge Alex, you canceled the wrong show. 🙁
Please bring him back!!
How many more protests do you need, Mr. Brown??? Cancel some of the other Ridiculous, Demeaning judge shows and bring Judge Alex back.
It figures a great court show and a great judge gone, Judge Alex was the real deal not to mention so very handsome. Television is full of garbage shows get rid of them.
I miss Judge Alex so much. He rates right up there with Judge Judy. I will not watch the Junk court tv shows that are on the air. Who does? I don’t get it. I loved his humor and looked forward to seeing him everyday. I also loved Mason. I keep looking to see what Judge Alex will be doing next so I can tune in. The network lost a viewer when they let him go. He was the best. Hurry back Judge Alex.
How many more comments does the network need to get to see that they cancelled the Wrong Show? I am even getting tired of Judge Judy – and her hateful, sarcastic remarks. The new ones are Ridiculous and Pitiful. Alex was the ONLY honest, believable Judge on the air. Mr. Brown and Fox network need to Wake Up, Pay Attention, and call Alex Ferrer and BEG him to come back.
I really miss judge alex-I enjoyed his humor and he way he handled his cases—-
his replacement–is sooo dry it hard to watch !!!!please bring back judge alex!!!!
I miss judge Alex it was a great show his show shouldn’t of been cancelled there are several ones that are still running that I can’t believe has not been cancelled there very DRY, BUT judge Alex was a GREAT show very sad
I too also miss Judge Alex very much. Once they moved him from daytime to 2 AM it seemed the writing was on the wall, and that is a darned shame. Now this loud shrill mouth Judge on Paternity Court is on and I can’t stand her voice OR the trashy stories.
Judge Alex was the best, along with Judge Ross and Judge Morris and Judge Christina Perez.
Please bring him BACK !
I do hope judge Alex comes back on TV! I do miss him!
I watched Judge Alex for a long time. When I moved from California to Georgia I made a point of finding his show. When his show was cancelled I was very disappointed. I will continue checking for his show and really look forward to the day!!
I miss Judge Alex so much, and I am quite bored with the female screaming judges that
I cant watch them for more than 10 mins, wish they would bring back Judge Alex as he is right up there with Judge Mathis & Judge Ross
Your audience feed back says it all
