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 miss watching Judge Alex,I keep hoping they will bring him back. Big mistake when they cancelled Judge Alex !
This is for comments about bringing Judge Alex back on air.
Yes, I still miss Judge Alex and keep watching and hoping he will show up on an show. I enjoyed his humor and his decisiveness and honorable decisions. I wish him well in any future endeavors.
I WOULD JUST LIKE 2 SAY JUDGE ALEX WAS AN OUTSTANDING JUDGE AS WELL AS HIS SHOW AND HE GOT A RAW DEAL SORRY 2 SEE HIS SHOW WAS CANCELLED, HES A GREAT MAN & U CANT KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN, HE WILL COME BACK STRONGER THEN EVER !!!!
I couldn’t agree with you more.
I continue to be amazed by such crude remarks. I am “re-posting my remarks with hope that you can find an appreciation for the civility of the history buffs. Yes, we need more civility in this world today! Wow! Perhaps the two history buffs got a little off subject, but I enjoyed reading their post and being a little more educated by them. What you MISSED is how civil they were to each other even when they disagreed. This is something that we can all learn . . . to be more civil. So I end my response by quoting… Read more »
Larry and your History Teacher…please correspond via email rather than on this discussion board. None of us want to hear your discussion about slavery. We’re here to discuss the termination of Judge Alex’s show. Wish it was possible to report you guys and have your conversations removed so we could just read about what we’re here for. Have you people not heard about email? Please use it.
We stopped a long time ago. Didn’t you notice? We agree with you but we enjoyed the one comment from a person who enjoyed our discussion and even praised us that we remained civil to one another while disagreeing on the topic of secession and the causes of the Civil War.
ditto
If I had known he was so entertaining, I wouldn’t have gotten out of jury duty in his court when I lived in Ft.Lauderdale. I wish they’d bring him back. He was the best of them, in my opinion.
I wish Judge Alex would come back. Love his show. Cant believe you thought it was the lowest rated. Pleeeaaase bring it back.
Loved Judge Alex Bring it back
I miss Judge Alex. He is was smart, fair and good looking to boot! Whatever idiot cancelled the show needs to pull his/her head out of their ass and put him back on! If another network picks him up…I will solely watch that network.
Bring back judge Alex please. He was probably the best thing on t.v.
I loved Judge Alex’s show. It was the best Judge show on the air. I don’t understand why his ratings weren’t the highest. He was honorable, professional, had a thorough knowledge of the law, and gave the plaintives and.defendants legal reasons for his decisionmaking. Most importantly, he was fair. I miss his show!
My sentiments exactly.
I was really upset to see Judge Alex cancelled. In my opinion he & Peoples Court were the best judge shows. He has a good personality along with his baliff Mason & I enjoyed listening to his cases. PLEASE bring him back!!!
Glad to hear that you saw Judge Alex on Fox news. He is a very well-spoken, articulate, smart individual . His court show was fun and a cut above most of the judge shows. It was one of the better reality arbitration court shows, both entertaining and instructive. It’s never been clear why his judge show was canceled.
I never saw Judge Alex show but I like him when I see him on Fox shows.
