Before moving to Spike in 2013, Cops was one of the longest-running TV series on FOX. Now the network is dipping its toe back into familiar waters with the new First Responders Live TV show. Where Cops restricted itself to using law-enforcement as subjects, this Dick Wolf docu-series takes a broader look at the people who ride to the rescue. Does this show have what it takes to win the Nielsen ratings race? Will First Responders Live be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A FOX reality TV series hosted by Josh Elliott, First Responders Live takes is in-depth look examination of firefighters, police officers, and EMTs. With live cameras embedded in several American cities, it follows those first responders who often risk their own lives, as they race toward situations from which many people would flee.

What do you think? Do you like the First Responders Live TV show? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season on FOX?
*Status update: FOX has seemingly cancelled First Responders Live, so there won’t be a second season.
Please renew! We love the show and watch every week!
Loved First Responders. It was exciting then scary to very heartwarming. Please keep it b
Really liked First Respondents Live bring it back
Please keep this show and publicize the show times better. I enjoyed watching it, but had a hard time finding it on regular air times. Really enjoyed watching the professionalism of the first responders. Would like a longer show to be able to keep track of the outcomes of the different calls. After all the bad press that these people have received, it’s jaw dropping to see what they do in a day’s work.
Yes I think that first responders live should definitely be renewed
Love first responders live……don’t tell me it’s over allready?
Was this show created because of the situations of police officers in certain communities? Are you trying to show the other side of police life aside from what we see in our communities? Dont get me wrong, i appreciate the paramedics and firefighters but split on the police. I know there are good cops….i know a handful. The cops on your show…are not like the ones I’ve seen, not sure this show will change my view. There are still too many overly aggressive ones out here.
I love this show!! Please renew this for a 2nd season! Our hero 1st responders deserve to have an avenue to show how hard they work & the good they do for our communities! Having experts in the studio was very helpful as well!!
I LOVE THE SHOW…. THINK IT SHOULD TRY 1 MORE SEASON. WEATHER ABOUT TO CHANGE. GOOD FAMILY SHOW… SHOW REAL LIFE SITUATIONS….
I LOVE this program. It’s fascinating to see what’s happening in other parts of the US. First responders are awesome ppl.
Please DO NOT CANCEL….you need to do more PR for these wonderful responders. I had no idea of what their professions entailed.
Must watch tv, and in other formats.
Take care Pam (72-y/o)
I was watching and want the show to keep running. After it went to Tuesday I keep forgetting to watch. And on Fridays. So I’m going to set an alarm for it.
I Love this show and in so many ways it is better than Live PD… So much more interesting. Please do not cancel
I feel that the show violates people’s privacy, I would not consent to being film while the medical helps me. This should be private and people should receive some compensation for you filming them in medical situations. You are making $$$ for this realality show and so should the people you film
Who do i contact concerning news of first responders live material for the Mississippi Gulf Coast?
