On January 17, 2014, the series was canceled after nine seasons.^[2] The final episode aired on May 21, 2014,^[3] With reruns continuing until August of that year.

Reruns would briefly air during the 2016-17 season on most stations.

Judge Alex Ferrer

Ferrer handled cases that ranged from armed robberies to kidnappings and first-degree murders as a Florida circuit court judge. ^{[citation needed]} Every three weeks, he taped ten cases a day over three days previously in Houston where the show was based (In the 2010-2011 season the show moved to Sunset Bronson Studios in Los Angeles); he then flew back home to Miami, where he lives with his wife and two children.

Using his sense of humor, Ferrer was not overly harsh or given to mouthing off like some of his judicial counterparts^{[citation needed]}, though he did keep a firm control over his courtroom and did not allow misconduct or disrespect. Ferrer's rulings were often prefaced by his explanation of the law at hand to his audience.^[4]

-While Ferrer handled cases that ranged from armed robberies to [[kidnapping]]s and [[Murder (United States law)#Degrees|first-degree murders]] as a Florida [[circuit court]] judge, his cases on ''Judge Alex'' have been described as far tamer, entertaining, and by the arbiter himself as often "bizarre." Every three weeks, he taped ten cases a day over three days previously in Houston where the show was based (In the 2010-2011 season the show moved to [[Sunset Bronson Studios]] in Los Angeles); he then flew back home to [[Miami]], where he lives with his wife and two children.
