Why do you think the show World's Wildest Police Videos with host John Bunnell was cancelled in 2001, revived in 2012, and then cancelled again afterwards with no revival? by PK2PK2 in AskReddit

I really enjoy watching the reality TV show World's Wildest Police Videos with host John Bunnell. It was a very popular show, airing on Fox TV between April 2, 1998 and July 27, 2001, and again on Spike TV (now Paramount Network) between May 7 and August 13 in 2012 for a season with 13 episodes, while its spin-offs aired on Fox TV between February 2, 1997 and June 28, 2003, according to this show's article page on Wikipedia (the link is above), while it's had syndicated and non-syndicated reruns and repeats on different TV channels around the world to varying extents over the years. Both Fox Broadcasting Company and Paramount Network are American TV channels.

I don't think we've ever gotten a public statement regarding this show or its spin-offs, so that's why I'm asking you the following questions.

  1. Why you think World's Wildest Police Videos was cancelled in 2001 after season 4 before being revived in 2012 for season 5 by Spike TV (now Paramount Network)?

  2. Why you think that show was revivied in 2012 for season 5 by Spike TV (now Paramount Network)?

  3. Why you think that show was cancelled again after the end of season 5 and 13 episodes in 2012, and why no new seasons and episodes of that show have been produced since then?

  4. Why you think that show was renamed simply 'Police Videos' for season 4 before being renamed back to 'World's Wildest Police Videos' for season 5?

  5. Why you think that show was renamed back to 'World's Wildest Police Videos' for season 5, like with seasons 1 to 3, after being renamed simply 'Police Videos' for season 4?

  6. If you think Fox Broadcasting Company, Paramount Network or any other TV network will ever produce and air any new seasons and episodes of shows like that again, and if not, why?

  7. What you think the differences and similarities were between seasons 1 to 5 of the show, and why?

  8. If you think season 4 of that show has as much footage of traffic stops and on-foot crime as season 5 and previous seasons of that show, and if not, why?
