America's Most Wanted
Criminal manhunt show
America's Most Wanted was a long-running American television program (1988–2012) that profiled fugitives and solicited viewer tips to help capture them.
The show's format—dramatized crimes followed by appeals for information—led to hundreds of arrests.
The phrase now serves as shorthand for anyone actively sought by authorities or, jokingly, for someone in serious trouble: After that stunt, you're on America's Most Wanted.
