America's Most Wanted cancelled.

We have to find a way to get it back. It can actually save lives. I remember reading a few years ago, when they cancelled it, and I believe the FBI stepped in and asked them not to because they bring their unsolved cases to the show.

It has assisted in 1,151 captures. It’s a public service. It’s a boon to law enforcement.

You want a reality show? Doesn't get much more real than this.

This is sort of funny, but I remember a story about a guy who played the criminal in a reenactment and people assumed he was the criminal and bombarded the show with calls.

Such a shame.

They are going to do four specials a year, though. MAYBE that with the extra attention per limited episode, they can concentrate of the really bad people?

Wow I didn't even realize that it was still on- I thought it went off the air years ago!

bumping!
Is john walsh trying to bow out or is it the network?
If its network related, why not a petition to the network???

I really liked that show, but about 10 years ago I stopped watching, but it still has a place on tv

I feel kind of bad about it after reading this thread and about how helpful the show has been, but I also would have thought it had been off the air for years. Has it been on a regular network during primetime all these years?

I am stunned if this is true, thanks for the heads-up.

agnes!
