20/20

The show is interesting...however LOWER the cotton-picking background music!! If you want people to watch and hear what the shows about... LOWER the cotton-picking background music!!! I'm going to keep watching for a few more episodes, and if you haven't LOWERED the cotton-picking background music...you've lost me as a watcher. Don't know how much weight my little review carries, but maybe there are others who feel the same as I do. Let's hear it folks, I can't be the only one who thinks the background music is overpowering. How can you decide if you like the show if you have no idea what's being said. Thank you for listening!

This show could be better if the sound track did not overcome the dialogue. It is not relaxing to watch, because I have to strain to hear the conversation.

Also, the show should be reduced to one hour, because the content is repeated and the show seems to drag. I sometimes have to watch it in pieces because I am distracted by the flatness from the repetition, and the need to break from the strain of listening.

Finally, there is a way to tell a story in which it is not so predictable. Last week Dateline and 20/20 covered the same story-the murders in Idaho. By far, Dateline produced a much better show. I want 20/20 to improve. I'm rooting for you, but I'm about to move on.

Like the title says I really love the show. It goes in depth of each story.

But can ABC please remove the spoilers before each episode and before each break? I want to watch the episodes without knowing what's going to happen. I really dislike this.

Back in the days of Barbara Walters and Hugh Downs, 20/20 was the best news magazine show on TV. I especially liked their undercover investigations, busting scams and criminals. John F. Stossel did his "Give Me A Break" part very well at the time. The older 20/20 shows were the best! And I never missed a show. But ever since Hugh Downs left, the show just hasn't been the same. And now that Barbara Walters has left too, the show has become much of a joke. 20/20 used to be all about protecting the consumer and busting scams and criminals. But now, all they do on 20/20 (besides covering stories that are already all over the news, a lot of which is simply entertainment news) is bust myths. This is sadly, the exact same concept that has also brought down the Discovery Channel. The Discovery Channel used to be all about shows investigating both a lot in science and law, but now all they do is show stupid "reality" shows and bust urban myths. I just can't understand all of this, obviously the people in control of these TV networks today are just some really stupid (and lazy) people.

Once upon a time 20/20 offered outstanding investigative pieces by quality journalists such as John Stossel. So how did it get to the point where too-skeezy-for-TMZ Nancy Grace is now featured?!?! Nancy Grace??? Really???

Is this really the direction ABC wants to take its premier news magazine? There are plenty of tabloid TV shows on the air and, after the addition of Nancy Grace, most of them are more credible than 20/20. It's almost unbelievable that ABC is setting its sights so low these days.
