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?
You made a big mistake. I love Judge Alex. He is the BEST Judge on TV. I am so upset that you cancelled his show.
Worst disaster in Television history. Unbelievable. The only Judge on TV that comes close to what actually happens in real court rooms with a brilliant sense of humor added, cancelled. There should be a year of mourning. God Bless you Alex, you will be missed. “Forgive them Father for they know not what they do”- Jesus Christ
Fox, did you really do that? Cancel Judge Alex, of all people? That leaves only one court show that I can tolerate, and that judge seems to be getting tired of herself. Bring back the true article, please!!!!!
I am extremely sorry to not see Judge Alex every morning. He made me smile everyday. I hope/wish that we will see him again on tv
I am so going to miss Judge Alex. He was easy on the eyes and a big warm smile. Judge Judy I don’t get it. The time slot I think was not a good one. I hope Justice Central will pick up his show joining Judges Perez, Mills, Allred and ” Boss” Ross.
I guess all good things must end and all bad things continue lets reverse this cycle stop watching FOXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxx
Really miss Judge Alex. Of all the judge shows, he was the only one that made you feel that you were really in court. He carried himself in a manner that commands respect. I cannot believe that Fox dropped his show, which had meaning, for sensationalism of the shows that replaced him. I thought Fox had better class. Don’t watch Fox at all now during the day, except for Judge Judy.
Miss Judge Alex…can”t believe the judge shows they left on the air, but took him off.
I loved Judge Alex. He dispensed real justice. He was not mean, angry or insulting to people like the other judges on the other court shows. Please bring him back!!!!!!!
Amen Lorraine!!!!!!!
I agree, he had “class”.. and a good sense of humor, and never rude or offensive to the people around him. Bring him back!!!!!!!!!!!
Judge Alex is second only to Judge Judy…and was so easy on the eyes…our loss…your stupidity
I want Judge Alex back !ASAP
ONE OF MY FAVORITE C OURT SHOWS, NO DRAMA, JUST FAIR RULINGS AND SO NICE TO LOOK AT WHILE PRESIDING
Loved it, bring it back
BRING HIM BACK
I think judge alex was fun to watch hope they bring him back. I think Judge Judy is great hope she stays on air
