It’s the end of an era!
First ABC cancelled its soap operas and now Fox is cancelling America’s Most Wanted.
The series, which has been on the air since 1988, announced just a few years ago the capture of its 1,000th criminal. That’s contribution enough!
But have no fear, the show won’t be gone completely.
Fox will air four, two-hour quarterly specials through the year as well as air repeats.
As for the reason behind the removal? Profits of course.
Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly revealed:
“John Walsh has been an important guy at network for a long time. It’s been an important show for us historically. We haven’t made money on the show in quite awhile. It wasn’t particularly viable. We wanted to keep the franchise alive. John is having conversations about ways to keep the series alive.
We’re going to be in originals across our schedule. We want to be able to play repeats to give the audience a chance to catch up and that’s one of the few places we can do that.”
What do U think of the cancellation?
