Upcoming on AMW- Season 27- 2024

One thing I wanted to also mention is even when AMW was originally on Fox it would go through one month capture droughts and then a barrage of captures at once so this isn’t unprecedented but unfortunate timing that it coincides with John’s return (and Cal’s debut) as AMW host. It is ironic we have the opposite problem of 2021- captures but bad ratings- now we have good ratings but no captures. But just once again trying to interject some hope into our anxious wait lol.

They wouldn’t cancel the show again if they didn’t get any captures this season. It’s doing good ratings wise it would just be considered a ratings success just unfortunate no one was captured. In Pursuit went a season with basically no captures too and was still brought back. Once again it’s only been a month. It just seems not as easy to capture fugitives off tv anymore (or just tv rather) but we will get there.

Whoa it's been that long I'm glad to be part of the amw fans family and the amw fandom with the John Walsh and the other shows remember we all have each others back this website is a community and a family at least in my book

I wonder if tonight they'll feature Kenneth DeHart as a breaking news fugitive

In case I have not mentioned this enough in this thread, I need to say that the overall quality of the episodes and the case selection is an improvement over Season 26. I have been negative on some specific issues with this season, but I want to make sure that I give credit where credit is due. I overall do enjoy watching this season because I feel there is a honest effort to make a difference and fight back against crime.

I just have to be realistic and realize this is no longer the “one capture per episode era”. We are now in the “profile cases and hope we get a direct capture era”. I am factoring The Hunt and In Pursuit in this. I will be fair and I can not fully judge this season of AMW until all six episodes have aired. They do have the potential to be more impactful then The Hunt/In Pursuit.

EDIT: Wanted to give AMW Season 27 the proper credit in that the overall show quality is an improvement from The Hunt and In Pursuit.

Once again I feel we all need to be patient, we were spoiled by a barrage of captures every week (or at least it felt like that) on OG AMW. Those days are gone but these shows are still effective. Of course I prefer two captures per week, but having to wait for our first one this year will make it so much sweeter when it finally happens.

It seems the review so far is we are all besides wanting some tweaks here and there- we are all enjoying the show (I hate to use the word enjoy for such terrible crimes committed but maybe appreciate?) it’s just we are worried that it may not be as effective as it used to be in capturing fugitives.

I’d say the show is in good hands now and we will get there- just be patient and it will eventually pay off

The show so far is a ratings success- just not a capture success. (So far)

I get even if they had as many viewers as the Super Bowl who cares if there’s no captures to show for it but once again it has actually been a relatively short amount of time- it’s just we remember the days where we got 2 captures a week so it is affecting our collective anxiousness. It really hasn’t been that long waiting for a capture, it just *feels* that long.
