Shortened Seasons? What's Happened to The First 48? [Replies: 0] Danabs Posts: 13 From: Florida Registered: 3/13/09 (1 of 1) Shortened Seasons? What's Happened to The First 48? Aug 1, 2009 11:15 AM Report Abuse Does it appear that the last 2 seasons have been cut by more than half? From the line-up of shows for season 9 it appears there is only one more unsean show making only 11 shows for the entire season. Not to mention that they have never changed the night here on the message board from Thursday to Tuesday. They certainly play The First 48 a TON all week long but they are all repeats from previous seasons as far as new shows go there are next to none. Even this coming Tuesday night is a repeat from season 8. This is a favorite show of mine but it has been my experience when they start cutting seasons down from 23 shows to 10 or 11 it is on its way out. Any thoughts? Poll Who is the BEST Detective?
