    Bring Back 48 Hours Mystery- the new format of Live to Tell is awful. hide show

    As a long time watcher of 48 Hours Mystery I was dissapointed to see the new format of Live to Tell. Simply put that show is boring with a capital B. Most of the reason the original show is so good is because it is a mystery....and its true. There is no suspense with Live to Tell..no mystery. I'm giving it one more week and then I'm gonna stop watching its so not worth it. Not to mention you can tell those stories in 15 minutes rather than dragging it out for an hour. Totally boring.

    HERB WITLOCK/RANDY STEIDL INCARCERATION hide show

    RE: Herb Witlock and Randy Steidl case

    AIRED: March 1, 2008

    This show gave us viewers just another disgusting example of our corrupt legal system at work, as I know only too well having been incarcerated on Death Row for simply arranging a blind date.
    How one man can be imprisoned and one not for the same crime, is totally absurd. This situation is a true double standard, just like the rich and famous getting a slap on the wrist while low-income minorities get the death penalty, as we have seen in many cases throughout the country. In this particular case, justice eventually prevailed but came many years too late. I hope that these two men will file a lawsuit against the State of Illinois to send a message to the police department who chose to listen to the statement of an admitted substance abuser, and refused to listen the Officer Mike Callahan, showing him no good deed goes unpunished.

    My husband and I just finished watching 48 hours about the Camm triple murder. It was less than one hour worth of programming stretched over two hours. hide show

    My husband and I just finished watching 48 hours about the Camm triple murder. It was less than one hour worth of programming stretched over two hours. If we had known that we were being set up to watch a television show of commercials rather than an actual program, we never would have turned it on--and will not make that mistake again in the future. Watching the fawcet drip would be preferable. Shame on CBS, the producers and directors for ruining a good television show. If they have low ratings, or if they become low, then in all likelihood it is deserved. Also, if it was not so disturbing that these people chose to waste the small amount of free time that I have available to me, I would not be writing a review here, of all places. Requiring my birthdate is personal information that goes way beyond the expected. Shame on this site too, although it does not surprise me. It simply again shows the lack of decency and respect present in 2007 United States society.

    Who is Mr. Camm's enemy? hide show

    Murder on Lockhart Road is a very moving and disturbing episode. Mr. Camm is incarcrated by decision of two juries, but there is no compelling evidence that he was present at the time of the crime. This case begs the question: Who wants Mr. Camm dead or out of the community? My guess is that he had an affair with the wife/girlfriend of a very influential individual. OR that he knows something that makes him a liability to someone. This case needs a follow-up when the Supreme Court reviews the case again. Murder on Lockhart Road demonstrates how influence is sometimes used in the judicial system.

    This show is very good./Its pretty much just like Dateline hide show

    Good:
    This show is very good. I put it on the same level as Dateline wich is pretty good. I love the hosts on this show better then Dateline.

    Bad:
    Its pretty much just like Dateline (except with better hosts). I hate some of there episodes. Sometimes they just do it on stars which I dont really like the hosts are better with news then with celebrities.
