The Live PD franchise is gone for good. According to NextTV, Sony Pictures Television has cancelled the A&E TV show’s syndicated spin-off series Live PD Police Patrol.
The weekly series focused on the daily work of police forces throughout the United States. “Every episode highlights the daily life-and-death situations faced by Sheriff’s Departments, Highway Patrols and local Police Departments in a diverse range of jurisdictions from Connecticut to Arizona, ” via the show’s website.
Sony Pictures Television cancelled Live PD Police Patrol after A&E ended Live PD in the wake of international protests against police brutality. Live PD Police Patrol is being pulled off the air this week.
What do you think? Do you watch Live PD Police Patrol? Do you think Sony made the right call?
This is ridiculous canceling a show because it depicts the police in a good light. Stop being so blind. People enjoy these shows and need these shows. NOT ALL OFFICERS ARE BAD. Stop acting like they are. I only watched A&E for Live PD. Unless it comes back you have lost ANOTHER viewer, because I can tell a lot of other commentors feel the same.
I am disappointed & disgusted that – once again – a TV network caves in to the current mood swing of the public by completely cancelling the quality show LivePD. Does anyone remember when another cable network dumped the patriarch of Duck Dynasty because he expressed homophobic views in a magazine interview? Initially they were also going to cancel the show, but then decided to just temporarily remove the ‘offending character’ instead. Another prime example of network execs in a panic to please their advertisers. Yes, the death of George Floyd is horrifically appalling and wrong on EVERY level. We… Read more »
I think it’s a bad move to Cancel Live PD and Most Wanted, along with Live PD on Patrol. I am VERY HOPEFUL that another Network Picks it up and gives us back the #1 Show on Television!
This is ridiculous, shouldn’t the audience be asked if they want it cancelled? Why should a few people be the deciding factor? Unfair. Lets sign a petition to get it brought back!!!
I don’t see how canceling the show does anything. Did not promote violence.
Live PD is the the show were true men and women work there a*” off to help the public and keep safe to protect and serve not Fair cuzz off rotten apples in the public don’t know how to follow rules and respect authority crying shame there taking off this show
My wife and I watched Live PD every weekend. This show and all it’s spinoffs were fantastic. To take off the air so many people’s favorite show just because you are to afraid you’ll make some people unhappy. Is this the way you are really going to run your company? Why are you afraid to make the call to keep America’s number one program on television? This is just getting silly how America is backing down from everything now. What happened in Minneapolis was terrible and I believe the officer needs to meet the death sentence. But please America let’s… Read more »
Worst mistake ever. What happened to Mr Floyd is horrible but I don’t see where the Live PD has to do with this. It actually shows wonderful police work and all the dangers they face everyday
It piss’ me off. I watched Live PD and PD cam, they’re going to lose millions of dollars canceling this top rated show.
We have watched Livd PD for years. Been a good show to watch. It’s real and shows there are great Police watching out for us all. No reason to cancel. The police only respond to lawbreakers and call ins. Includes all people of every color. So Disappointed! Seemed to be knee jerk reaction!
I can understand how difficult it will be to do a live show. People may search out the officer / camera team and make trouble and harass them. I enjoyed Live PD and hope that something similar can be produced in the future.
Both A&E and Sony are cowards. Yellow streaks a mile wide down all of the executives backs.
We watched Live PD, Live PD Police Patrol, etc…cooking is our hobby and on Friday and Saturday nights we make great big meals and then watch Live PD….so how come OUR lives had to be changed along millions of other viewers? Our lives have changed ENOUGH…these shows showed the GOOD police do and they have also found MISSING KIDS!
Pure bull….the more craziness occurs…I am leaning on reading and dropping TV and all movies..
I’m done with A & E. Everyone needs to boycott their channel. I am sick and tired of the past weeks, Dan Abrahms, you need to get your own channel (like Oprah) and give us back our pride in supporting our men and women in blue. We cannot sit back and do nothing.
