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?
Judge Alex was the best judge on tv, I truly miss him and Victor. Please come back to us.
Judge Alex presented a firm but friendly autthoritive figure in these tv court shows. I will miss him, and hope some other network picks him up.
I think it was a major mistake to cancel Judge Alex as we are a group of about 25 that meet 2-3 times for lunch and to watch Judge Alex. They were right in getting rid of Judge Joe Brown now get rid of Judge Mathis and replace him with Judge Alex. Better yet get rid of Stephen Brown
Please! Please! Bring back Judge Alex! He is my most favorite daytime judge show. In fact the ONLY judge show that I watch! He is so good with the people that go before him. Also he is very good to look at.
Thanks for considering blessing me with his presence.
Sincerely,

Please re-instate Judge Alex show. The show’s cancellation is a major
television loss. Please re-calculate the survey poll used to determine
It’s faith. Good luck Judge Alex.
Please bring back Judge Alex Show. Get rid of the
person/people who eliminated the show. Judge
Alex and Judge Judy are the two best court
shows that ever graced television screens. I
am still grieving the loss of my favorite
Judge Alex show. I repeat, please re-instate this
show.
Thank you,
Bring Judge Alex back. His was the most believable judge on TV today. He maintained order in his courtroom and was Wonderful at figuring out the real truth behind the statements. BRING HIM BACK.
My husband and I watched Judge Alex every day and he was always nice to people and very entertaining. He didn’t feel it was necessary to belittle anyone. It was a fun show to watch. There aren’t many of those left.
I am shocked that Judge Alex was cancelled. The court shows that replaced him in NC are not worth watching.
What idiot survey was used to determine that Judge Alex was the lowest of the judge shows? The only judge better than he is Judge Judy. Marilyn Milian used to be as good as Alex, but she screams too much now, and asks questions but doesn’t give people a chance to answer them. Whoever is responsible for taking J. Alex off the air should be fired!!!!
Please bring back Judge Alex. It was an excellent show.
I CANNOT believe Judge Alex was cancelled. I watched him EVERY day! Please bring him back.
I think that Judge Alex had good show and yes I am sorry that his show is cancelled.
I hope that he will come back because, I feel that he is a good judge.
I only watch a few hours of TV. Judge Alex was one of those times. Please advise if and when he will return. Except for Judge Judy he outshines all of the other judges.
I don’t believe Judge Alex is last in popularity among 5 judges. He and Judge Marilyn M.( I don’t remember the spelling of her name.) are the most genuine of Judges on T.V. I would like very much for him to return and I take issue with the findings that deemed him least popular!!
