It's the same show over and over with only a different face. These predators have to be the most stupid people on earth if when the girl says "wait a minute I have to ....." shouldn't that be a clue for them to hit the road even the ones who have seen the show don't get it. "Help yourself to a cookie I just made" should make them run for the hills. It's the same thing over and over. It's so boring. Can't they give anything else to watch.

Yep. Can you say "entrapment?"

Yes. There's actually a new one on right now. We get it, there are guys out there who will have sex with girls under 18, so what, nothing new. It's an easy gig for NBC because of the level of fear the media creates when they need it. You have to wonder how stupid these guys getting caught really are. I wonder how much time a real rapist gets compared to the time these dummies get? Perverted Justice, another watchdog type group trying to do good but in reality they are teaching the criminals how to be more careful, but by watching the show you would never know this. Only the weak-minded need sex from minors, but only the truely stupid who have zero common sense get caught by Chris Hanson and a young looking girl offering milk and cookies.

Hi, I don't think it is boring. If it saves one minor from being hurt it is worth watching no matter how many times it is on Every time it airs they disclose five or six more pedophiles. It should be somewhat of a deterrent for other pedophiles. Have you considered that not all pedophiles are as stupid as the ones that are getting caught more than once. So think of the number of pedophiles that are seeing it and now fear using the Internet to attract their victims.It also is educational for the parents and children. It makes them aware of the problem and teaches them what to do to prevent a predator hurting their children. I applaud Dateline for this service.

It just goes to show you how stupid pedophiles are. One guy admitted that he watches the show, and he got caught not once, but twice on that show. And, keep in mind, that even if they decide to run after they realize what's going on, it's still too late because they came there with intent to have sex. I don't think the show is stupid at all. I don't watch all of them, but I think that it's needed to show parents what can happen. A lot of parents let their children have computers in their rooms, and that's a HUGE mistake. Maybe these shows will wake some people up.

I watched it and thought the two main actors were very good. Wilfred Bramble came across as lonely and not being able to come to terms with his gender while Harry H Corbett came across as a bit of a big head. Don't know if either were true, but the programme was very interesting. It was also sad that they couldn't get any more work apart from Steptoe and Son.

I mean, the way that this guy just panders them, it is annoying. Yes, these filthy bastards got caught, and they know what they are doing is wrong on ALL levels, but, why do you have to stand there and asks questions like "Why are you doing this?" "Do you know what you are doing"? What kind of stupid f'ucking questions are these? And, even though they deserve being in front of a camera, why does the reporter wants to know how they are feeling right now? And why read them something that they wrote? They know they wrote it. You have got the info, the crime on tape, everything, so, why pander them even more? This makes this guy, I think his name is Stone Phillips or something, more of an a'sshole. I would not be surprised if one of these guys said that he did not want to talk, he kept talking, and he punches the s'hit out of him! That would be hilarious!

I don't watch anything but the History Channel these days. And even it gets sensationalistic.
The huge majority of people are moral, disciplined, honorable and upstanding. Their only problem is they don't drive up ratings.
It's important to understand that Media makes money off of warping your perception of reality by taking events out of context and focusing indignantly on emotional issues. Modern media does not add to your sense of understanding reality; it's job is to warp it to fit an agenda.
How about a series called "Date Line to Catch a Reality Warper"?
The work that a mulitude of people do to help children is ignored. Programs that would help them to do better are ignored. Afterall, it's much easier to make a train wreck interesting than a functional family's life. If it bleeds, it leads.
Boycott media hype.

It is boring, but would you rather have those idiots continue luring young boys and girls? They are so stupid that even though they know they could get caught, they are still compelled to try. People that obsessive need to be stopped somehow. It's like the boring paternity tests on Montrell. Perhaps eventually those stupid women will stop sleeping around with their husbands cousin's brother's fathers.

it helps to get sexual preditors off the street. police don't typically set up a lot of stings like this. i think Date Line is doing a great service to identify these preditors.
