After a disappointing Season 7 finale, CBS decided to cut the popular Crime Drama "Without a Trace". Featuring the lives and work of the FBI's Missing Person's Unit, "Without a Trace" is one of the many shows to be cut for "cost problems." However, with a season finale that left many people disappointed and with many unanswered questions, viewers are begging for one more season.

We are a great fan of your work, including shows such as CSI: Miami, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: New York, and Cold Case. However, we were greatly appalled at the actions of CBS to cancel the popular crime drama, Without a Trace. Now, as some of the millions of %u201CWAT%u201D fans, We are writing to you so that we can save the show.
According to CBS, they cut the show for financial reasons. This economic crisis is hitting everyone hard, including the television stations. We understand. However, there are several ways to cut production costs. One way to save money would be to have less extras on set. Take away many of the people at the FBI headquarters, also taking away their salaries. You could also film in a different city if New York ends up costing to much, only filming select scenes there.
Another reason CBS claimed to have cut Without a Trace was because of its declining number of viewers. There are several explanations for that. It%u2019s not that people merely don%u2019t watch Without a Trace, they just don%u2019t watch it on television. They would rather watch online, where there are fewer commercials and it%u2019s more accessible to them at places such as work, the car, or the plane. And, since we are in a recession, people aren%u2019t tuning in as often to watch their favorite shows, but are out either working or searching for a new job.
Since CBS has already cut the show, maybe you should try another station, such as ABC, NBC, or FOX. Stations such as TNT, USA, and A&E might also be interested in carrying such a well-known and loved series. Anything to keep the show running.
Please Mr. Bruckheimer, don%u2019t end the show. If you do decide seven seasons is enough, please do a few more episodes for closure purposes, tying up at least some of the many loose ends, including Jack and Samantha, where Undertow left many viewers in shock. We would greatly appreciate a reply message with your response to my letter. Thank you for your time and for bringing quality television to people across the world for years.

I as a watcher of CBS, I think CBS has made the biggest mistake in history by canceling Without A Trace from those whom watch this show. I also think their are a lot of people whom are really MAD at their actions! The watchers of CBS's shows have been not watching really anything of CBS because of the fact that Without A Trace is and was the #1 HIT SHOW and CBS has now put on shows that will most likely crash and burn so fast they will lose money and every person who watches their channel. I watched the show from beginning to so called end but I still have seen that their are things to prove that their should have been a season 8 to etc. but the CBS people think it was as good as it got and they were wrong they could have cut back on somethings and left it at that or just got rid of COLD CASE I do watch COLD CASE but I get bored of that show after 28 minutes of watching it Without A Trace has more power to drag you into the show and wishing for more, I know I am right the idea of finishing the show was out right DUMB and WRONG. For all of the people who watch this show got to see just how much some people really care about MONEY and that would be CBS I don't really like the way they ended the show and I know I am not the only one. BIG WITHOUT A TRACE FAN!!!! SAVE WITHOUT A TRACE!!!! Ash |
