I must say, the fact that UM would turn down some cases on missing persons in order to air fluff pieces and/or cases that turned out to be phony, somewhat damages UM's reputation for me. Don't get me wrong, I still think UM was a great and important program, but this just kind of taints it a little bit for me.
Any thoughts on this?

UM is like any network televisions show. It has to deal with the demands of the network.
1. UM is not going top be of use if it's off the air. If they have to appease the networks every now and then, I think it;s worth it.
2. I personally think there were other reasons for why they declined segments. A big issue could be production schedules, budgets and legal matters.
3. I also think another issue is repetition in stories. If you look at the UM catalog there are a lot of cases that are similar. I'm sure UM might not want to run too many missing child or roberry cases in a row and put them off.
4. Personally I think there are very few bad episodes of UM. Even the Lost Loves cases tend to be very well done. In any show that runs this long, your bound to have a few episodes that a person will dislike. I really think it is personal taste rather than show quality.

I'm pretty sure AMW has the same issues.
