Did anyone watch this show before? I love crime shows.

I remember when it was a new show. I didn't watch a whole lot of it, but I did from time to time. Haven't in years. It's amazing that it is still on 21 years later. This show and John Walsh have done a lot of good for a long time.

I agree they have served alot over the 20 years of catching the bad guys.

I watched this on occasion. It wasn't something I really ever intended to watch. I just stumbled across it.

I like how Walsh gets all 'Dirty Harry' and he's like "we need to catch these punks!".

This show did a great job for catching criminals, but it wasn't appointment TV. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it has.

I think it's been in danger of cancelation in the past before, but it was saved by the viewers.

Yeah, I remember that. They protested and it wasn't canned.

End of the road. FOX has canceled the show after 22 years or so on TV. Will now occasionally air as specials.

Not surprised at all.
