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 hate this show was cancelled. It was my favorite of the judge shows. Now we get DOUBLE judge judy in this area. Yuck. I like her OK, but he was the best.
I will miss judge Alex, I watched him every day. I hope ya’ll know I do not watch divorce court you should have taken that off insteadm. Let me know when I can watch judge A again.
I am really upset at the decision to cancel judge alex he is one of my favorites it seems that the shows you like always get cancelled for stupid shows and I do not watch
Why do they keep Judge Judy who is so rude and mean to everybody and cancel Judge Alex. Makes no sense
Like this show a lot, sorry it got cancelled. Maybe it can be reprogramed in the future. Please let me know if comes back on the air.
My favorite “judge” show. Now all I get is 2 hours of “Divorce Court”. Guess I have more time to read!
I loved judge Alex. He miss so very real in the courtroom and didn’t take any baloney from the plaintiffs OR defendants. I am soooo sorry it has been cancelled. Hopefully Judge Alex can come back on another station soon.
So disappointed. Hard to believe of the five remaining judge shows, Judge Alex was the lowest rated. Such authority, professionalism, humor…and not hard on the eyes either. Someone, please bring him back to television!!!
Judge Alex had the BEST show. My husband and I watched it everyday….Please bring it back.
Please return Judge Alex to daytime television.
His show was by far, the best on TV. My
Husband and I watched him daily. Our only
complaint, Judge Alex should be an hour, and
reduce the length of one if the other court
shows, if need be. His show was enjoyable to follow, and misdemeanor were
more appealing and thought provoking.
It was dissapointing to all of a sudden to see
it gone.
Hopefully, it will return and soon. Please let me know
the status of this situation! Thank you!

That was a stupid decision to cancel his show. Fire the guy who thought of this. I want him back immediately and not in reruns. I want new shows of Judge Alex everyday. This is disgusting!!!!!!!
I loved this show. I would tape it everyday and watch it late night before going to bed. Shame, shame, shame that it was canceled! This show, along with the Peoples Court, are my favorite shows and I can’t believe they canceled him after 10 years. I hope they bring him back soon.
Loved this show, he’s very good at what he does & because of his background, you get all the aspects of court. Very sorry to see it has been cancelled. Hope he comes back again on another network.
Loved his show!! Bring him back to tv in some form!
I hate its not on now. My mom loved his show, she is 91 and I hate she can watch it anymore. She doesn’t watch a lot and now it gone. Shame on you.
