Original story: (Feb. 19, 2023): It’s a sad day to be a fan of mid-day courtroom programming.

According to reports, two of the longest-running syndicated TV courtroom series, “Judge Mathis” and “The People’s Court“, have been axed from production.

“Judge Mathis“, hosted by Judge Greg Mathis – former judge of Michigan’s 36th District Court, will end after 24 seasons. The beloved show premiered back in September of 1999 and has achieved a number of accolades in its decades on air. In 2004, the show won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding News, Talk or Information Series. Fast forward to 2018, and the series is taking home an Emmy for Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program.

In its duration, Mathis has reportedly presided over 13,000 cases, and maintained being the second longest-running court show in continued production with the same host. Additionally, the famed legal professional is reportedly the longest-running male Black American to host a TV series, and the second-longest-reigning arbitrator in courtroom TV history.

Sources attribute the series cancelation to the shrinking advertising marketplace for syndicated daytime TV. Reportedly, local TV stations are minimizing syndication dollars in efforts to save money. It doesn’t seem that Mathis himself has commented on the cancelation at this time.
