The last original episode of the best reality show of all-time was filmed in December of 2008 and since then I have waited with bated breath for news of its resurrection.

A Kickstarter emerged for the new show (entitled Hansen vs. Predator), and the team ultimately raised $89,068, which was well above their initial goal. Hansen has stated that the new show will be similar to To Catch A Predator.

"We'll be having decoys come into different areas where predators may exist to conduct our investigations," he said. "That will be similar. We'll set up a house or a public place."
The biggest difference is their partnership with LexisNexis — the company that specializes in legal and business research will allow them to "find out more about a person before they actually show up at the location to be interviewed." He adds, "So, I can envision a scenario where we could show somebody's life—they're a teacher or a doctor—so you have a fuller picture and a better investigation."

I've read that Hansen vs. Predator will be underway before the end of the year and that the team is already meeting with distributors and law enforcement agencies across the country. Hansen also said that while the show will continue to focus on adult predators going after children, they may expand into other types of predators, including financial scammers and other online bad guys.

No, no, this isn't a post about the resurgence of this beautiful show (God, how I wish that were the case). Unfortunately, I doubt it'll ever air again with new episodes, but such is life.

If you've never heard of the show when it came out, here's a brief description: "To Catch a Predator is an American television series that features hidden camera investigations by the television newsmagazine program Dateline NBC. It was devoted to impersonating underage people (generally ages 12–15) and detaining male adults who contacted them over the Internet for sexual liaisons. People were lured to meet with a decoy under the pretense of sexual contact and then confronted." - Wikipedia

Why am I posting this? I don't know, maybe you're particularly bored on this fine Tuesday afternoon? You need some kind of escape from doing any work? You somehow forgot how amazing this show was?

Anyway, I hope you've seen these because as a lot of people already know: they're fantastic. I can't even really know why I feel that way, but I just love it. Once I start watching these on YouTube, well... my day slowly slips away from me since I can watch for hours.

Click here to watch the Fortson, Georgia episode. Or here for the Southern California one. There are many more that you can definitely find them on YouTube.
