America's Most Wanted
America's Most Wanted on Imdb7 February 1988 (USA)
Crime | Drama
America's Most Wanted is not only the longest-running TV series in the history of the FOX network but the eighth-longest running prime time network show ever and credited for bringing reality television to mainstream. The idea for the show came from other reality crime shows in the 60s and 80s. By the summer of 1987, Fox executive Stephen Chao and Executive Producer Michael Linder had the idea for America's Most Wanted. It premiered on February 7, 1988 and within four days of the first broadcast convicted killer David James Roberts was captured. The show was canceled for a month and a half in the fall of 1996 but returned after protests from the public, law enforcement, government officials and low ratings for the shows replacing AMW.

Cincinnati — From the screams and shout-back lyrics in the near-capacity crowd at Riverbend Amphitheater on Thursday night, you'd think Lil Wayne had never visited the Queen City. In fact, Weezy was here earlier this year, playing the local arena to an equally enthusiastic audience. And, as if further proof were needed that he's "the best rapper alive," as he frequently reminded his faithful in neon letters on the big screen above the stage, even a surprise appearance by Snoop Dogg couldn't steal the spotlight from Weezy F. Baby on this night.
With just a handful of dates left on the America's Most Wanted tour, Wayne's 90-minute show provided ample proof that even if his long-rumored "rock" album, Rebirth, doesn't end up riff-packed as advertised, the New Orleans »

Last month, 50 Cent and Soulja Boy excited some fans and confused others during a West Coast stop on Young Money Presents: The America's Most Wanted Music Festival. Fif stepped onstage in California and performed with his much younger club-floor-catering peer. Those in attendance seemed to love it, but on the Net there was speculation about how and why the collaboration came together.
Reader 4EvaShady commented, "Curtis Jackson, what the **** are you doing? Get the **** off that stage and ******* bust a rap with Dre and Eminem!"
