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 think this is wrong, you ære the funniest and i just love watching you exspecially when i and down. I just DVD you and you make mě laugh. They ære making å grave mistake taking you off. Hope i dont lose you on facebook.love you and the officer.
Very upset about the cancellation! His show was by far the best!
it’s about time his show was clipped. he was boring and they need to drop boring judge judy too. how some of these shows stay on I can’t figure it out. that’s just like where I live we have a known security guard in his 70’s who sleeps on the dam job every week 40 of 48 hours he works [Monday—Thursday] and gets paid OT every other Thursday. it’s a dam shame and 91% of the owners know this is a fact. the B.O.D.’S KNOW IT TOO. GUTLESS AND THIS GUY HAS HAD THE SAME JOB SINCE 1994 OR1995.
So sorry show is canceled. Big mistake. Cancel joe brown , but I think he’s gone, judge Mathis , who’s ridiculous & all other—— EXCEPT JUDY JUDY. Oh! Marilyn Milan I’d
S fab & love her.
Only court judge show that is interesting with a realistic judge. It is a shame the show is ending.
Sad show is being canceled, I loved watching it.
Love the show, sad its being canceled.
Why don’t they cancel that dumb as#family guy if there going to cancel anything?
I am very upset that Judge Alex was cancelled. I have been watching the two shows every day for many years and I love his sense of humor and his great good looks. He is a pleasure to watch and I cannot believe his show has the lowest audience.
I love the show and hate to find out it is being cancelled. Judge Alex talks to folks to find out what their relationships were before their troubles started, he really seems to care. I like that. The other JUDGE programs have too much drama for me. I hope he comes back with another show really soon!!!!
Good, he was not a good judge and made lots of mistakes.
Darn! I really liked Judge Alex. He seemed to be the only one left to rule based on some semblance of the law/rules rather than personal opinion.
Loved the Judge Alex show – take Judge Judy off the air, her arrogance and crudeness are unacceptable. Judge Alex will always be number one in court shows.
We all know that any series is only as good as the writing. In this case the litigants. Judge Alex does a great job when given the right tools. Sadly in the last 2 or 3 years the interesting cases are far and few between. But Alex will return!!!
Best Court Show on TV… So Sorry to hear it’s being cancelled.

we love him we are so very
very sad to see him leave.
