TV show description:      
This newsmagazine combines hard-hitting investigative reports, newsmaker interviews, and compelling human interest and feature stories. Named after the 20/20 measurement of visual acuity, the stories vary episode by episode.

The series was initially anchored by Harold Hayes, renowned editor of Esquire, and Robert Hughes, an art critic for Time. Featuring strange things like a claymation version of President Jimmy Carter singing, the debut received such harsh reviews that the program was quickly overhauled. It became a more traditional news magazine and semi-retired Hugh Downs was recruited and became the show’s sole host.

Downs remained with the series for 21 years. News veteran Barbara Walters began as a contributor in 1979 and then became Downs’ equal as an anchor in 1981. The two would remain together for 15 years, until Downs’ departure. Walters would remain until 2004. Regular contributor John Stossel became co-anchor in 2003 and stayed until he left the network in 2009. Elizabeth Vargas began anchoring in 2004 and Chris Cuomo joined her in 2009.

Other anchors have included Diane Sawyer (1998–2000), Charles Gibson (1998–2000), Sam Donaldson (1998–2000), Connie Chung (1998–2002), Jack Ford (2000–2001), and John Miller (2002–2003).

it doesn’t matter to me if 20/20 is canceled or not because this show jumps around worse than any show I’ve ever seen in my life. They start the show with the ending then they do the middle then the beginning and then you do the ending again and then you go back to the beginning then leave to the middle it’s so mixed up and so not cool that’s why I quit watching this showing if it gets canceled I could care less.
