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?
Please come back the veiwers missed you
I loved watching Judge Alex. His mix of professionalism, caring, no-nonsense rulings really touched me, plus I always thought he was cute! I always was cheered up by his occasional sarcastic remarks, too!

I really enjoyed Judge Alex.
I loved watching Judge Alex. Fact is, I quit watching all court shows when they took him off the air. He was fair, lawful, and he had a way of making litigants understand and cope with his decisions.
I enjoyed the Judge Alex Show because I found his decisions to be fair versus based on “personal opinion” as I have seen on other Judge Shows. He did not yell at people, or embarrass them, or call them out of their names. I WOULD HOPE THAT HE RETURNS SOON!
He is down to earth has a good spirt about him very fair minded but also stands firm a lot of good qualities not too many judges have that
Return judge Alec thanks
I hope they do bring him back! The other one I miss is Moral court. What I loved about that one is that the litigants weren’t fighting for money, but who was morally correct. The winner got no more than $1000.
I liked judge Alex. He always was right on in making a decision. Always fair with the people and stern when it was necessary. He was respectful and got respect.
I enjoyed Judge Alex. Would like to see him return.
Judge Alex was HOT lol he made good eye candy lol but he was also intelligent and funny. Loved his show.
After all this time I still miss judge Alex. Enjoyed his personality and would love to see him come back.
Judge Alex was the the total best, we all so enjoyed he and the show. Judge in Providence is awesome so. Wish Alex was returning. Others, like Judy is really tiresome and we all need a break from her. Been on way too long. Her dialogue is boring. Sorry. Please bring back Alex and keep the dear Judge In Providence on forever. Thank you in advance. Evelyn in Ohio.
I enjoyed Judge Alex tremendously! Please put him back on….please!!!
Judge Alex Ferrer gave hope to those who deal with errant corporations. I hope CBS reconsiders keeping him and his show on for us to view and hear, a much-needed medium.
