Les Oubliés

Yet again another program, that I like, deleted without much of a chance given to gain an audience. Big surprise. Why don't we just put on massive amounts of "reality?" and other totally useless garbage shows, instead of nurturing the kind of "acting" series that might make us think once in awhile. Oh, I forgot, that's what they're trying to do now. My mistake. So many decently written and acted series have fallen by the wayside in the past years, to be replaced by these other mindless exploitation shows. It's really a shame. I guess as long as there are people wanting to see these other types, good shows like "the forgotten","Jericho", etc., don't stand a chance. Thank goodness for rentals, I guess.

I love this show, the problem is that this show is competing with the Good Wife for viewers. I think that it gives a different angle to a crime shows. LE doesn't always have the time to investigate unidentified dead cases. I also enjoyed "Without a Trace". I am so sick and tired of reality shows. I want something that is going to at least make me think. My family also enjoyed Sleeper Cell, but it was way to realistic. If only the public knew how realistic it is. Maybe the government made them shut that show down. So if you like to solve mysteries and like to problem solve, then this would be a show for you. I didn't know about it because it was always playing when the Good Wife was on, but one day there was a re-run, so we flipped the channel. We would TIVO them so we didn't miss an episode.

I have been watching this show on DVR and it is actually a very good show. My wife told me that it was not doing very well in the ratings game so I figured I would do what I can to let it be known that there are people who love this show and would be sad to see it go. In every episode, they start with a body or, in some cases, body parts. Throughout the show you get a little more information until, at the end, they show you exactly what happened. I like it better than CSI, Bones, or any of the other similar shows. Perhaps that is the problem; the forgotten has been preceded by so many similar shows that people are tired of the same old same old. But give this show a try.

I am stating my opinion as to wondering why they took the forgotten off the air. I am beyond angry for doing such a stupid move! I want them to bring back the forgotten with the same actors and actresses. This is one of the best shows that I've watched since Jaws. So now my question is, "When are they going to bring back the forgotten?" Christian Slater is one of my favorite actors and I would love to meet him in person so that I could let him know personally. The other characters in the forgotten was also amazing people as they are a team. You do not want to break up a team! Just please, who ever decided to take this show off the air made the biggest mistake ever! Bring back this show and bring back the team! By Diana LaCroix in Omaha, Nebraska

This show was not your usual "CSI" type of production. I was impressed by the cast's way of depicting very different people from various walks of life who wanted to volunteer their personal time to identify someone who died "nameless". It was a terrific concept and I am sure it has inspired any number of people to pursue involvement in this worthy cause. So why did ABC nix the show?? I felt let down and disappointed that the show was discontinued. There are so many "dumb" reality shows on TV right now. Why isn't a show like this one valued when it is based on real and very sad circumstances that can turn out in a positive way for families who have missing children etc.?
