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 like the show! Am sorry to hear that it will no longer be on the air. Am home-bound and this was one of the shows I watched. I too am sick of Jerry Springer Please bring Judge Alex back.
seems like he was one of the nicest judges….sorry to see him go….hope someone else picks it up…
I can’t stand divorce court or judge Ross and am amazed that they continue and judge Alex is cancelled. Disappointing to say the least.
I absolutely love Judge Alex! I am very dissapointed by this decision. I cannot stand watching Paternity Court or Divorce Court. Shows totally suck. You can’t tell me that Judge Alex rated lower than these two shows! Well anyways, hopefully he will return to daytime TV!
I was very sad to find out Judge Alex was canceled. I didn’t even know until I was looking to watch it this week. I was surprised that Judge Ross is still on. Very disappointing. Please bring back Judge Alex
Who the heck is this Wendy Williams???….she seems like a moron. And that divorce court is so lame. Unless Judge Alex returns I will never watch that network ever again. Judge Alex is an awesome person, both off and on screen.
I think People’s Court with that Judge Marilyn or Judge Judy should be cancelled. Obviously everybody’s favorite is Judge Alex. He cant be replaced!!
Sadly, al really goo things do end….
I am extremely disappointed that Judge Alex is no longer being aired. Of all the judge shows, Judge Alex was by far the best. I love his sense of humor and he is extremely intelligent and fair.
He knew how to keep his court in order without being mean and screaming….unlike the other judges. Major mistake cancelling his show!!
Judge Alex and People’s Court are without a doubt the very best court programs on TV. I’m very unhappy and upset that Judge Alex was canceled while the dramatic/Jerry Springer type crap and too many boring talk shows remain on the air. I certainly hope Judge Alex returns and the rude, disrespectful, old enough to know better Judy finally gets the boot.
Couldn’t agree with you more!!….Well said
I am very disappointed that they cancelled Judge Alex. I think his show was better than most of them showing now. They NEED to cancel Judge Ross which is so FAKE that I can’t (and don’t) watch it. I loved Judge Alex and Mason. They made a great team! Put my vote in for bringing him back.
I’m extremely DISAPPOINTED that your show was cancelled. I thought they moved your show to another time slot. I was checking all the time slots & there was no you. I couldn’t believe I couldn’t find you. I thought I made a mistake & continuously checked but no you. I went online to ascertain what time slot you were on & there was no you. I don’t understand why your show had the lowest ratings since your words were educational. I DVR’d your show daily, there was no way I was going to miss it. I truly LOVED your show.… Read more »
I am very sorry to see that Judge Alex has been cancelled. He and the peoples court were the only judge shows I watch. I really dislike Judge Karen. Can’t you get rid of her and bring back Judge Alex. He was the only one who was fair and let us hear the whole story. Who made this dumb decision to take him off the air? Please bring him back!
Im very disappointed in the cancelation of Judge Alex’s Court room show. There are only 2 shows i would record so I could watch at a later time. Judge Alex and judge Chistine ( I dont know the actual name of her show but is on at 7:30am pacific time
I hope he comes back soon
judge alex was definitely the most entertaining of the court shows with his great sense of humor. to replace him on KCBW with the bill cunningham show is a total joke.
Bring Judge Alex back. I watch all of the court shows, but he and eoples’ court are the best on TV.
I’m pissed!! Best judge on TV.
