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 am seeing re runs of Judge Alex on one of my local channels, and enjoying – Again – his shows. However, I agree with Maureen Flanagan. Along with Judge Mathis, I think Judge Judy and Christina Perez should be cancelled and bring Judge Alex back. Judge Judy is a smart aleck and Perez hardly Ever looks at the plaintiffs and defendants. She keeps her eyes Down a good percent of the time as if she is not interested in what they might be saying. Bring Alex Back!
I don’t think he should be cancelled. I really like his show. The one who should be cancelled is Judge Mathis. He spends more time talking about himself or mocking one side or the other of the people before him. It’s annoying. At least Judge Alex is more professional without being over-theatrical.
I watch Judge Alex every day and find his show to be one of the best court shows on t.v. The show should be brought back. It should have been moved to a different time slot before it was cancelled. At 9 a.m., Judge Kevin Ross’s show are reruns, and still on air to date. A new Judge Alex show with new episodes could provide a much needed alternative to Kevin Ross reruns. Please bring Judge Alex back!
Enjoy Judge Alex’s show and sense of humor so much. Please bring his show back. He is so realistic.
I just love love love Judge Alex. Please bring his show back.
Please bring judge Alex back. I watch him everyday. The best show on tv
I am so upset that my favorite show was cancelled. I loved Judge Alex and taped his court show every weekday so I could watch it in the evenings.. What can we do to get his show back on the air. I have been searching all over my TV. to find his show because it just quit recording. Now I find out it was cancelled. Please please bring back Judge Alex. . Bad move on Fox part. Get rid of some of those Judge Judy show. She’s rude and nasty to people and seems to be on all the time.… Read more »
I watch a number of the “Judge” show on TV (even more since I retired) and I always found Judge Alex to be one of the best – if not the best. Every time I tuned on the show I was seeing shows that I had seen before (I still watched them) and wondered why I was not seeing new shows. It was only recently that I found out the show was cancelled. I looked forward to it each day and will reallay miss it. Judge Alez should be brought back – he is smart, knowledgeable firm but kind and… Read more »
Please bring back judge alex he was great he would be so great on Hot Bench
Miss judge Alec and he would be a great addition to Hot Bench in stead of the old man that replaced Larry. Please bring judge alex back somehow.
I love this show, and I watch most of the judge shows on TV. Please bring him back.
I cant imagine Judge Allex’s show bring the.least watched! I love his show!!!! He has moved to the top of my court shows! Hes not only pleasing to the eyes, hes extremly funny. And knows the law very well. I love how he will put people in their place, not with sarcasm like other judges. He does it with a intellectual, and humerous approach. The producers lost a good man, and his fans like me lost a really great judge. I just hope Allex has went on to something as fullfilling. You will be missed! You too Mason!
I really love Judge Alex! He has so much more sense than the other judges in my opinion. I wish you’d bring him back, please!
Judge Alex was my very favorite of all the judge shows by far! It’s awful that it’s cancelled. I guess the “decision makers” didn’t see him for the sane, logical, funny person he is, one who treats people fairly but is also so entertaining! Big mistake guys.
I LOVED the Judge Alex Show and was surprised when the it was cancelled. The show was sincere and at times very entertaining. I wonder if viewers can contact Fox to convince them to bring Juge Alex back on.? Maybe someone viewing this website might have some idea or information.
I love the show. Please bring him back
