Fox is developing a scripted police drama called "Atlanta's Most Wanted". Ugh, what a slap in the face to us AMW fans that they cancel a show that did so much good and bring anything called Most Wanted back that's not the show, I don't care how good or bad it is. (Even worse, the acronym for Atlanta's Most Wanted is AMW). With all the renewed interest in true crime, I really don't get why at least a new weekly AMW-type show hosted by Elizabeth Smart or another victim's advocate has not happened yet. I saw multiple reports for "Atlanta's Most Wanted" as well. I agree it's a slap in the face, especially as was shown by both Lifetime and CNN, FOX could have made a lot of revenue off an AMW-like true crime show if they had simply revamped the format and not screwed it up as we saw with the 2010-2011 season. |

What's also really embarrassing for FOX is that while they gave up on AMW in 2011/2012, some of their local news stations are still doing local most wanted feature stories. Example being "Oklahoma's Most Dangerous" I just learned about. okcfox.com/news/oklahomas-most-wanted |

I'm watching a re-run of A&E's Live PD television series. For the first time I saw a profile of a wanted fugitive and realized they do brief profiles of a fugitive each episode. The fugitive I saw was Fitzgerald McNeil, wanted out of Columbia, South Carolina for attempted murder and according to the show, sexual conduct as well. I'm going to go a thread on him right now and keep an eye out for future shows of the series. wach.com/news/local/police-looking-for-suspect-in-attempted-murder-using-suvTom Morris is also one of the main commentators of the show, so I want to give a shout out that he's doing another excellent job.  |

Was thinking it would be hilarious if during one of the airings of the new season of The Hunt on HLN there's sudden breaking news that Trump announces he's resigning the next day (or to placate other potential readers even though this is off-topic insert a political scandal on the other side) and The Hunt is still going on without interruption since it's not on a news channel anymore while CNN MSNBC and Fox News are going crazy and we're like "thank goodness John Walsh is on a variety/crime channel now!" LOL!

Was browsing web.archive.org on the off chance they had any additional self-uploaded AMW content, and came across this book from 1990. It apparently has profiles of more than 35 fugitives wanted for murder during that time and the cover shows photos of longtime AMW fugitives Alvaro Alvarado and Teddy Ellis. It's called Wanted For Murder by Stephen Michaud and I'm trying to see if it can be downloaded as an ebook or something like that. Here's the cover just to show what I'm talking about.  |

Now somewhat along the lines of my last post, I learned that in 1989 there was book by Richard Dominick called "FBI's 25 Most Wanted". On the cover as you'll be able to see below are fugitives including Donald Eugene Webb (whose remains were recently located), Victor Gerena, Pedro Estrada and Joe Sinnott Edwards. I'll try to see if there's some type of online record (did manage to access the web.archive.org posting of the 1990 book mentioned in the post above), to learn about any other fugitives featured.  |

A potentially "better" opening at my off-forum job may open up within the next year- but the catch is I'd have to work Sunday nights. I realize The Hunt is only 8 or now 16 episodes a season and more weeks would be worked without the show but while it is in season because of the Facebook page I run it will be virtually impossible to get home watch via DVR and not have the episode somewhat spoiled already with people commenting on the episode and people private messaging me with tips thinking I'm John Walsh no matter how many times I explain I'm not. It's easy to say just ignore but my phone pretty much doesn't let me and some messages might be too important to ignore lol. (Plus as I stated if it wasn't for running this forum, I'd just not worry and not DVR it, but I feel like since even though I don't get paid it's my "job" to watch it ASAP ) I generally hate working Sundays in general because besides The Hunt it interferes with watching football- but yeah I guess it's a nice first world problem to have and it's silly to turn down a good opening because I'd have to watch a show via DVR instead of live lol. |

I would recommend taking advantage of the better job opening within your company. I am getting annoyed with how long it's taking my company to promote me, just because I work the daytime shift and not the evening shift. The Hunt can be recorded on DVR as you mentioned. |

Basically it's because of the forum/pages I run that's the problem where I feel the need to see it live. If I was just a dedicated weekly viewer or just a regular poster here (no offense to any of you as you're all great lol), I'd have no problem watching DVR, but yes, I agree it's silly to not turn down a better job because of that lol.

Just wanted to let any of our members here or those reading here who live in Hurricane Harvey's path that I hope they remain safe!

Unfortunately Hurricane Harvey has destroyed much of Houston in the same way Katrina destroyed much of New Orleans. But out of this terrible tragedy, there's many acts of heroism and people risking their lives to help others as well.
If AMW was still on the air, I could see them doing a special episode where they filmed from Houston and helped out the same way Walsh and company went to film in Haiti and helped victims from the major Earthquake there.

Pakman can confirm this, but I do believe AMW did a episode right from New Orleans after Katrina as well. |

I thought so too but was only 70 percent sure so I didn't want to mention it lol.
New Orleans is a city I really grew to love when I visited there, probably my favorite city I've ever visited, but it was about 7 years after Katrina.
