The Purge: Network Cancels Cables Most Watched Weekend Show To Satisfy Liberal Mob, Host Of Show Is Furious Vows Return

Many of you have heard that after 30 years the police television show Cops is being canceled as anti-police sentiment infects Hollywood after the death of George Floyd. There is also another show that is a Police docuseries, Live PD, and it was the most-watched cable show on Friday and Saturday nights. 

Earlier in the Paramount network pulled Cops from its schedule last week responding to anti-police sentiment coming from the Black Lives Matter protests and riots. Cops originally aired in 1989 on Fox and was a massive hit, running for 25 seasons. When Fox canceled the series Spike TV, owned by paramount, picked the show back up for seven more seasons.

Paramount announced this week that they will no longer air any more episodes of Cops.

“Cops is not on the Paramount Network and we don’t have any current or future plans for it to return,” a network spokesperson told multiple outlets on Tuesday.

On June 5th, A&E pulled episodes of the hit series and Dan Abrams, the shows host announced they would not air new episodes last weekend to be sensitive to the Black Lives Matter protests. Fans of the show had mixed feelings, some thought it was the right thing to do, others didn’t agree, all, however, hoped the show would continue.

After Paramount announced Cops would be canceled Abrams wrote on Twitter, “To all of you asking whether #LivePD coming back. . .The answer is yes. All of us associated with the show are as committed to it as ever. We are still discussing some specifics but I want to assure the #LivePDNation that we are not abandoning you.”

“And to be clear as I have said on my @SXMPOTUS show, you can both support the important and impactful peaceful protests and support the overwhelming majority of police officers doing the noble and difficult work they do every day,” Abrams concluded.

LIVE PD follows police officers live – on a 15-minute delay – for three hours on Friday and Saturday nights weekly. The show has turned some local officers into national celebrities as the show documents what officers face on a daily basis. Other instances on the show have resulted in police officers being called out for violating civil rights. The show was so popular that on Friday and Saturday nights it would trend on social media. 

You may not like Dan Abrams politics (founder of mediate) but he is steadfast in supporting law enforcement and despises the cancel culture. Abrams is so fired up that he’s even calling people out on social media.

The hope that Live Pd would return lasted about 24 hours when the network shocked everyone and canceled their most successful show.

One sad thing about losing Live PD is that the National Center for Missing Children aired 100 cases of missing children and thanks to the awareness from the show almost half were recovered.

Live PD has one of the most loyal audiences in the country and A&E’s entire program spawned off the program to include shows like PD Cams, Live Rescue – a show that follows Fire and Rescue workers – and Live Wanted. I can guarantee you that Live Rescue is dead on arrival, fans are furious with the network.
