New John Walsh show "The Hunt" coming to CNN! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Debuting Sunday night at 9 p.m., July 13, a new John Walsh show called "The Hunt" will air on CNN. A commercial for it appeared during the McStay special last night. I love how John warned criminals that their days on the run were numbered. Go John! Can't wait for the new show.

Glad he's back.

wiseguy182 · 07-03-2014, 12:40 AM

Me too.

The commercial suggested he was going after some of the most notorious criminals he's been unable to catch so far.

don't forget this starts tonight at 9 p.m. EST! John is ready to catch some evil bastards!

I'll check it out. Love John Walsh.

I watched the first episode last night and I liked it.

I do like John Walsh and its no fault of his (he did a good job) but I really disliked it!! They seemed to just drag on and gave out a little info here and there and kept showing graphic images or blood dripping and it just didn't hold my attention at all. I do hope they catch the creep they profiled of course but as for me I'm done watching. Just my opinion though.

BBM

I didn't care for that either.

Pointless and didn't really add anything IMO, ya know?

I liked it for the fact that it was a recent case that I actually didn't know much about (I try to keep up on recent cases, but I hadn't read up on this one) and I liked the locals' perspective.

it just seemed overproduced and boring, i only watched for about 5 to 10 minutes before i stopped watching

John is going to do Jacob Wetterling's case on August 31. Wonder if they'll have new info.

I saw that! I was wondering that, too. One can hope.

I've watched it a couple of times, WBB and the Jacob Wetterling cases. I know its hard when you know a lot about the cases like WBB, but I really like this new show. I think this is exactly how AMW should have been redone a little more classy, a little more in-depth, John's commentary rather than a Studio Update. I think if they don't have enough info to stretch it out to the hour, then do 2-3 cases. I also don't think CNN is the best place for it. I think HLN might be the better place for it, maybe friday nights.

No, the ratings and exposure are much better where it is, CNN Sunday nights.

wiseguy182 · 12-23-2014, 08:41 AM

Here are some updates on cases. Shane Miller, Charles Mozdir and Kevin Stoeser have all been located deceased.

Genevieve Kelly has surrendered to authorities, but sadly Mary Nunes is still missing.

Sadly, the 25th anniversary of Jacob Wetterling's disappearance came and went with no huge movement on the case.

And an update on the show in general: it has been renewed for a second season, which will begin in March or April 2015.

When it comes to public service shows, doing just one case per episode is not enough. In fact, it is counterproductive, since it greatly reduces the number of cases that are put on the show - even some of the most urgent ones.
