FBI Dramas: Catching Up With America’s Most Wanted
I wondered If you had a chance to see the special broadcast of America’s Most Wanted: America Fights Back on Saturday, with Gov. Arnold Schwarznegger, and what you thought of it. I watched the show for years, and in that time, my respect for John Walsh has grown.
I could not imagine losing a child they way he and his wife did, nor the incredible pain they felt. This is why viewers believe that he’s sincere in his efforts to help catch criminals.
Many may remember being intrigued by his show and persona, because it’s compelling to see to see someone move on after a tragedy of that sort. In a recent interview, John said that the show is “more than a job”, and that it’s “a passion”. Here are some interesting facts about the series:
- The show premiered on February 7, 1988
- Fox canceled the show for a month and a half in 1996 & replaced it with some sitcoms. The public, law enforcement and government officials protested. Between the protests and low ratings for the sitcoms, the show was brought back.
- America’s Most Wanted and Cops air back-to-back on Saturday nights on Fox
- The show is in its 21st season!
