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?
bring back judge alex !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am shocked ! I loved Judge Alex .Why would they cancel such a great show? Bring it back it has been replaced with stupid info mercials.
NO…NO….NO!!!!!! My favorite Judge Show! Bring Judge Alex back!!!!!
Judge Alex was my favorite Judge, totally bummed it’s been cancelled. I can’t believe it was the lowest rated show, the fix must have been in. Go to another network Judge, a major network will pick you up, hopefully. No matter what you’re probably rich by now anyway, so have a great life, you don’t need luck. Randy
BRING HIM BACK NOW!
Surprised and sad, maybe he had too much common sense for the so-called experts.
Move his show to 4:00pm or 6:00pm, maybe that could change the ratings. Please bring
Him back.
I’m so sorry to hear that Judge Alex was cancelled. I enjoyed his show so very much. I hope you return the program. I’m very thankful that I recorded all of them because I will enjoy replaying them. Good luck Judge Alex. Take this time to enjoy your family. God Bless you.
Judge Alex show was the best court show on TV.
We have missed his show and his personality a lot.
He was so fair and at least let the people explain their case and kept order.
Some of these shows are ridiculous when the Judge ask a question and then doesn’t let them answer.
I loved Judge Alex & looked forward to hearing his cases. He used good judgment & I loved his sense of humor. He’s a people person. I’ll miss him!! Perhaps he’ll be back & he’ll come back even better!! All the best to you, Your Honor.
I am very upset at the fact the show has been cancelled. This is actually one of the BEST court shows running. The others all seem dramatized. I’m sad that he has been cancelled. I looked forward to his show everyday at 1pm.
I am very sad to hear Judge Alex was cancelled! Maybe it was just the time slot his show was placed into that effected his ratings. I LOVED his show… It will be missed.I truly hope he will be brought back …
So sorry to hear about the cancellation. Always looked forward to watching his show while enjoying lunch. We’re still are in an area that has no cable and uses antennae. Best of luck to him and his staff.
Very shocked and sad. Should have canceled Gloria Alredd.
Best to you Judge Alex. May your next endeavor bring you much happiness.
Shame on the people who decided this. Judge Alex is classy and will be missed. I won’t watch your Christina Perez or Madam Alredd!
What a shame he is cancelled. I guess you think it’s better to watch a bunch of loose adults, sleeping around, and screaming in the courtroom like ignorants, while they spread there seed around so the rest of us can support them. Who is making these choices and are they the ones you are catering too. Alex had a good show, and he was an asset to your programming. BAD DECISION!!!!!
Judge Alex was my favorite show. What so called experts decided the show must go? This was the classiest Judge show on television. Please bring him back! He is intelligent, caring, good looking, etc.
Who are you kidding? The lowest rated judge show on TV!? No! No! No! I do not believe the reason they are giving is the truth. I am shocked and disappointed by this infantile, irresponsible, tasteless and ridiculous decision.
