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 loved the show. I am so sorry to see it canceled. Hopefully we will see Judge Alex on another network soon. He’s a good looking dude……..
I loved the Judge Alex show. I will absolutely miss it!!!!
I am truly disappointed that Judge Alex was canceled. I think divorce court would’ve been a better option because I still have no idea if they get divorced or not lol hopefully we can still see reruns of Judge Alex and I would really like to see him back on TV!
I, too, am dismayed to learn Judge Alex was cancelled! Where have I been all this time? I turn to tune in to my daily repeats, and he’s gone! :'( He was my second favorite (after Judy, of course), and I’m sad to see him go!
Bring Judge Alex back. He was the best. Can’t take Judge Judy. Also like Judge Milian. Judge Mathis is also good. Wish we didn’t have so many repeats.
Jerry Springer should be cancelled. He is disgusting and immoral!
judge alex was my favorite! I didn’t know his show was canceled until today! All of a sudden it was gone. Should had canceled divorce court instead!
I had NO idea that Judge Alex had been cancelled until 2 minutes ago! My routine:
Divorce Court
Judge Alex
Now Judge Mathis is in the time slot. Not a Mathis fan and so I’m moving on to some new (?) show called America’s Court with Judge Ross.
Btw, can’t deal with J. Judy and can’t figure out why she’s #1.
Read the disclaimer at the end of Judge Ross’s show. It is a fake, dramitization. Also. Google him and find out he was disbarred.
I am so disappointed in not finding the show on TV today! I have just spent 45 minutes searching channels and internet listings to find it, only to find the site which said it was cancelled.
I so enjoyed his sense of humor and his tolerance for some folks! I turned on 3 of my friends to watch it over the years. I cannot tolerate Judge Judy’s treatment of people. I don’t know why she is so popular.
Bring Judge Alex back!!!!
Judge Alex was my favorite judge show. He had people you could relate to not the goofballs off the streets that Mathis has and divorce court is like sitting in on therapy sessions. Not entertaining at all. Why not have a variety instead of a bunch of the same old stuff on every show. Looks like the station isn’t happy unless the show centers around crack heads and low life. That’s it for me. On to another station.
Oh Booo!
It’s a sad day for me…just found out Judge Alex was canceled. I can name a few shows we can all do without…this was not one of them.
I am so sorry Judge Alex was cancelled….this is my absolute favorite court show…I think he is great and I hope he returns to tv! Good luck Alex…gonna miss you!! (and Mason too) I looked forward to this show every weekday at 1pm!
Loved him, he was one of the best
I really enjoyed him more so than another judge . I will not watch divorce court. He and his bailiff were fun and his rulings were spot on.
Why did you not cancel Jerry Springer instead of Judge Alex. Springer show is disgusting! Judge Alex was only canceled because a new judge show is coming out.
i loved the show.
