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 can’t believe they cancelled his show. I always thought his was one of the better court shows on television.
Who decided this? I loved Judge Alex! Bring him back please!
I am very disappointed that the show is gone!!! What idiot made this decision?
I hope that you will reconsider bringing back Judge Alex.
The shows that you replaced him with will not watched by the american public. Just watch!
Please take that in consideration. Just because you have the power remember the american public also have the power to not watch anything on your network..
Thanks

Please bring back Judge Alex!
Judge Alex was the only judge with common sense. Didn’t run a ‘drama-fest’ court. He doesn’t present himself as an ‘be-all, end all’ or self-obsessed narcissist (Judge Judy – my humble opinion).
That was the best court tv show and they have put trash in its place . Could care less about any of the others.
Judge Alex was an is still the best court Tv program on TV. He didn’t put up with lies or from people scamming the American People the welfare or workmen comp. He was real. You need to bring him back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am beyond words that Judge Alex was cancelled. I’m a retired female and I looked forward to his show daily. Now my only option is to watch JJ. Whom I have never personally liked. How can someone like her with a sour personality and never smile attitude have more ratings than a Judge with looks AND personality ?!
Please re-think your decision and return the show to tv.
That is crazy! Bring him back!!!
I loved The Judge Alex show…sorry to see the network didn’t love it too. He was funny and entertaining, and also added a certain class to the court show arena. I don’t recall seeing as many promos for his show as some of the other shows, and he has never had the best time slots.
So sorry to hear the cancellation. Really enjoyed watching, especially his humor. Looking forward to hopefully see him in the future.
I am very sorry that this show has been cancelled. Divorce court is stupid. That should have been replaced with Judge Alex. I hope at some point they bring his show back.
I am extremely upset that Judge Alex has been cancelled; especially when such lesser quality court shows remain on the air. I dvr People’s Court and Judge Alex every day so as not to miss them. One court show I can’t stand to watch is Judge Judy! She is a loud-mouthed, rude, opinionated (versus objective as a judge should be), thinks no one but her has anything worth saying and should be cut off in mid-sentence. I think “she protests too much” about how “smart” she is. She thinks the louder she says something, the righter and smarter she is!… Read more »
