    Why don't you take a seat.

    No no no, I just came here to watch TCAP. Well, I'm Chris Hansen with dateline NBC and your going to jail.

    A classic, the O.G. "predator catching" series.

    'To Catch a Predator' is iconic. The series has achieved legendary status and still to this day, over 15 years later, the series still has a cult following.

    I have a hard time pinpointing why I enjoy this series so much. Part of it is seeing these creeps get exposed for who they are. Another part is seeing them spin a crazy web of lies, thinking they can just talk their way out of trouble, without realizing the mountain of evidence stacked against them.

    It also makes me feel better about my own life. Everyone has skeletons in their closet, but this series allows me to feel much better about myself. No matter how many mistakes I've made in life, I have never messed up as badly as the people who get exposed in this series.

    Iconic.

    Chris Hansen is doing gods work. These predators deserve jail time or worse.

    Well I'll watch ya

    One of the most important pieces of TV that still resonates to this day. It's a show about Chris Hansen catches predators who conversate with children.

    The producers nailed the sting format for the show. I will kiss them if I ever get to mee them. It's just top notch TV.

    Also the way it raised awareness for this type of crime, this show most likely saved kids from being victims.

    My favorite thing is how it spawned some of the greatest communities ever. This show still makes waves.

    TCaP is prime investigative television, easily one of my favorites of the genre, and I'm not even a TV series person, believe it or not.

    Chris back at it again.

    Must watch, the way Chris says "Take a seat" it boggles me. You gain this sense of euphoria whenever the cops come and arrest him. Not just that but you get to see when they go to the station. Good for everyone.

    • Trivia
      In April 2015, Chris Hansen announced the start of a Kickstarter campaign to fund a reboot of the series. In October of that year, the project, dubbed Hansen vs. Predator, conducted a sting operation in conjunction with local police in Fairfield, Connecticut. At that time, Hansen reported that he was commencing negotiations with various potential broadcast networks in an effort to find a media platform on which to air the footage that was shot during the Fairfield operation.

      Chris Hansen - Host: [Chris Hansen, as he reads to Jeffrey Stacey from the chat log transcript of his conversation with the decoy] You ask her if she's horny.

      Jeffrey Stacey - Predator: [In a high pitched Mickey Mouse sounding voice] What's wrong with that?

      Chris Hansen - Host: You ask her if she does anal.

      Jeffrey Stacey - Predator: It's a question!
