Without a Trace

Without a Trace is an American television show set in New York City. The show is about an FBI missing persons unit; each episode typically follows the investigation into one person's disappearance. (The unit is fictitious; the real FBI has no dedicated missing persons unit, but investigates disappearances as needed on a case-by-case basis.)

The series debuted as part of the CBS fall line-up in 2002. It was created by Hank Steinberg, and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. The show was the first to ever score strong ratings opposite longtime NBC hit ER -- which, like Without a Trace, is produced by Warner Bros. Television and CBS Paramount Television. The first two showrunners were Hank Steinberg and Ed Redlich. Between Seasons Two and Three, Steinberg and Redlich moved away from active participation in the series, and staff writers Jan Nash and Greg Walker took over as showrunners.

Unlike many real-life cases, the missing persons are always found at the end of the episode. However, sometimes the team does not find them alive. The show also focuses on the personal lives of the team members and illustrates how their different experiences give them insight, and sometimes traumatic reactions, to certain cases. In many episodes a team member makes an emotional connection to a case that causes him or her to take the proceedings personally. One element that sets the show apart from other current TV crime dramas is that, at the end of most episodes, they show information about a real-life missing person. This is not the case all the time: for example, at the end of an episode in which the missing person attempted to commit suicide, a promotion for a suicide help line was aired in place of the missing persons report.

This is generally not the case for showings in other countries. (Although, in Australia, the Nine Network usually shows information on missing persons in that country after episodes. In Hong Kong, the TVB Pearl showed information of missing persons, provided by Hong Kong Police, after each episode in the first two seasons. But since season 3, such information is not shown.)

In 2003, the TNT Network acquired syndication rights to the series for US$1.4 million per episode. Without a Trace was run on Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on CBS until September 2006 when it was moved to Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on CBS. The show is also the only prime-time US drama to feature two Australians and a Briton as performers in the regular cast, even though they play Americans.
