Fox cancels "America's Most Wanted"
http://policelink.monster.com/news/articles/154459-americas-most-wanted-canceled-after-23-years
Americas Most Wanted host John Walsh isnt burned out, nor does he plan to fade away anytime soon. But hell likely need to find another home for his long-running true crime show, which aired on Fox for 23 years until its cancellation Monday.
While four more episodes of Wanted will trickle out as two-hour specials, the weekly program whose high profile and flurry of called-in tips helped local, national and international law enforcement officials nab more than 1,100 bad guys will go away after June 18.

As long as COPS is safe...
Well with more most wanted people on the loose now, COPS will have MORE peopleAs long as COPS is safe...
(Yes I know the people on Cops aren't most wanted people)
No idea why they would ever cancel this show it should be considered a PSA and a total write-off. Or at least have the decency to sell it to another network.

From Fox Broadcasting Company president Kevin Reilly:No idea why they would ever cancel this show it should be considered a PSA and a total write-off. Or at least have the decency to sell it to another network.
I wouldn't be surprised if the quarterly specials continue after next season, rather than being just "the last four episodes"."It's no secret to John [Walsh]: we have not made money on the show in quite a while. It was economically getting to the place where it was not really particularly viable but we wanted to keep the franchise alive. John is important to News Corp. He got in a number of conversations as to where that series could continue. You'd have to talk to him about what that ends up being... I would not be at all surprised if you see the show pop up somewhere else. And that's something you should follow up with John on."
If I remember correctly, this isn't the first time Fox has "cancelled" the show; they pulled it from the schedule early in its run, but there was so much feedback (especially from law enforcement agencies) that Fox put it back.
I'm a little surprised Cops makes money, if AMW doesn't, or that they haven't considered turning AMW into a 30-minute show, and airing it, along with a single Cops episode, in the Saturday 8-9 slot.
There is a bizarre group of people on Facebook who are convinced this means criminals will run wild on our streets now. As the kids say, "smh"
They got Bin Laden.
It's over.
Right?
It's over.
Right?
And when they do, the cameras on Cops will be there when they get caught.There is a bizarre group of people on Facebook who are convinced this means criminals will run wild on our streets now.
I didn't even realize this show was still around.
Walsh should turn the show into a daytime syndicated show. To make it cheaper, combine newly filmed segments with old segments on people they haven't caught yet, or people they have and looking at where they or their victims are now. They could even stretch it out furthery by adding in studio segments about various safety topics... or interviews with police, fire, or even average people who have been involved in a particularly newsworthy safety-related incidents or acts of heroism/bravery.
Seems like something that would work well for those who are home during the day... and it would fit in well with all the different court shows.

I wonder what they are going to put in its place.
Cops at least has syndication value, AMW doesn't.I'm a little surprised Cops makes money, if AMW doesn't, or that they haven't considered turning AMW into a 30-minute show, and airing it, along with a single Cops episode, in the Saturday 8-9 slot.
Does AMW even do reruns? Sorry I don't watch it so I don't know. But if they do show reruns, I'd have to believe they don't get much viewership.
9 on Saturday.. crap, or sports, or both, Crap sports.I wonder what they are going to put in its place.
Bring on the Cricket!
Perfect first reply. I lol'dThey just don't give any shows a chance anymore.

The newest reality show: I married a Criminal.I wonder what they are going to put in its place.
Don't worry, AMW will move to the CW, where it'll be renamed "America's Next Top Wanted."
What everybody else does - repeats. For example, they can show "instant encores" of Fringe or Terra Nova.I wonder what they are going to put in its place.
Also, I would not be surprised to see Glee repeats on Saturday nights when the show goes on hiatus in March (during the four weeks American Idol has two-hour performance shows).
THIS JUST IN: The world really is coming to an end (probably not on May 21, or June 3 (5/21 on the Julian calendar), though) - CBS is scheduling new episodes of Rules of Engagement on Saturday nights!
Yikes. Burnoffs? Is it cancelled, or is it still the perpetual "fill in"?THIS JUST IN: The world really is coming to an end (probably not on May 21, or June 3 (5/21 on the Julian calendar), though) - CBS is scheduling new episodes of Rules of Engagement on Saturday nights!
(It's a dumb show, and I have I think 8 unwatched on my Tivo.. but I laugh at Warburton & Spade.. when I get around to watching them, which I usually do a couple at a time.)
Oh, and on topic, I was amazed that the last uproar to keep the show on was _so_ long ago. I'm an old geezer.
