Dateline nbc's to catch a predator is my favorite show on tv.
Gotta give chris hansen credit for putting himself in harms way to keep your kids safe from internet predators.

Those disgusting men deserve every bit of jail time they get. Lower than pond scum.

The biggest problem I have with the show is it teaches lowlifes what not to do to get caught.

The stings are great, but I don't think they should be shown on TV.

It gives away the cops hand.

Robot Chicken has shown what happens when this will wind up coming back to bite them on the backside.

Pedophiles should all be snuffed into nothingness.

Having said that...I really don't like Chris Hansen either...he just found a niche...and ran with it.

I love the lawsuit from the family of the guy who killed himself..."he'd never have shot himself if he wasn't shown on that show"...

Hector...sometimes I don't get your posts. "finding a niche and running with
it" in business is not a negative thing...it's the result of a clever idea.

Do you not appreciate other people's success? Or is it just celebrities you
feel that way about? Or am I just reading that post of yours wrong?

As far as this TO CATCH A PREDATOR business, it's a given that guys like
these need to be caught...apologies if I find the "throw 'em to the lions
in front of a huge crowd" mentality of the TV busts a bit distasteful.

On the other hand, as much as that show makes me feel icky watching
it...I've seen, like, every episode. There's a dark part of me that is intrigued seeing the criminal's reaction to being "discovered".

I find it distasteful too. Remember, these people have families and they didn't try to boink a 13 year old. This just jams the knife into them more and for nothing more than cheap tabloid quality exposure for ratings.

The self righteous tone on Hanson is a bit sickening since he is getting rich not only on the perpetrator's suffering (which they deserve) but of the families suffering as well.

The whole thing is a set up from beginning to end. There is no real girl. just an actor and a staged house.

well i'm a big fan of the show. personally i feel like the 20 y.o. who think they are getting with a date a 15 y.o. girl aren't as bad as the 50 y.o. creeps who try to get with a 12 y.o. boy. But the law is the law. remember the perverts on this show always make the first contact (otherwise it's entrapment)
