The Fans Did It!Feb 08, 2007
By TVSeriesFinale.com
"What happened to your favorite shows?"
Kidnapped told the story of a wealthy New York City couple (Timothy Hutton and Dana Delany) whose teenage son (Will Denton) is abducted and, the investigative team assigned to find him (headed by an ex-FBI operative played by Jeremy Sisto).
The series debuted back on September 30, 2006. NBC cancelled it after just three episodes. The network told the writers to wrap up the storyline in thirteen episodes but it was pulled off the air after five.
The network posted the unaired episodes online but a lot of people missed them -- slow connections, older computers, etc.
How many other shows have been pulled off the air and will likely never be released? Smith, 3lbs., Reunion, The Nine, Six Degrees, Runaway and on and on...
The fans have been incredibly supportive of this show from the beginning and it is only because of their constant letters, emails and calls that this show is being released on DVD.
Congrats you Knapp-heads!

A case study in why network TV stinks at creating & maintaining great showsAug 13, 2007
By Traveler
Kidnapped is "Without A Trace" crossed with "24" with, IMO, better actors. Jeremy Sisto, Delroy Lindo (movie star caliber), Timothy Hutton (ditto), Mykelti Williamson (ditto again), and Dana Delaney (probably most famous for "China Beach") lead the cast.
If you like drama, if you like shows that don't wrap everything up in one episode, you will like "Kidnapped." The production values are high and the story grabs you in the very first episode. It's almost like a 10 hour movie thriller.
I do have to mention a few minor negatives. For one, the telling of the story (the plot and excellent actors) is better than the resolution. You'll know "who did it" by the second to last episode (if not possibly sooner) which takes some air out of the tires for the final hour or so. Secondly, the resolution is done adequately, but not with a slam dunk like they had in the very first episode with the kidnapping. Perhaps this is due to the fact that they knew at time of filming the final episode that the show was going to be canceled and they just needed to get the thing in the can and move on. But these are minor quibbles. If you the enjoy the ride more than the destination it makes the show worth your time.
So with such a great cast and story, we have to wonder why it was canceled.
"Kidnapped" came out after the unexpected success of "Lost" and "24." When ABC showed that you could create and keep a solid audience base with a story that took multiple episodes if not multiple seasons to resolve everyone tried to copy the format. There were probably at least ten such shows. Some of them just weren't that good in my opinion. Most of them certainly did not have the high tension and stellar cast of "Kidnapped."
I've complained about Fox canceling such programs as "Wonderfalls," "Firefly," and "Kitchen Confidential" because they were the type of show that didn't require a viewer to catch every episode to become a fan. If Fox had just had some patience those shows would have caught on and probably stayed on the air for several years.
But "Kidnapped" was different. You had to catch the very first episode to get hooked. People knew in advance that the show was going to require an investment of their time so many just didn't even bother watching. I know I didn't when it aired. I saw a few ads, but it didn't catch my attention enough for me to bother. Some of that is NBC's fault.
This is essentially a high tension mini-series drama, not a typical program like "Without a Trace" or "Cold Case." It needed to be marketed as such. NBC needed to put more effort in hyping the show and they really didn't. This was a show that needed that effort because it didn't have the fantasy/sci-fi hook that great shows like "Lost" and "Battlestar Galactica" have that set them so far apart from other programs. A kidnapped child, rich parents, a rogue private eye who uses illegal tactics, and the FBI . . . doesn't sound that interesting does it? Sounds cliche. But it worked on the screen because of the great actors, the plot was dense, and there was a real mystery behind who was behind the crime.
With that said, it wasn't all NBC's fault. This show was, for the most part, too good for network TV. It's called the lowest common denominator. That's why shows like "According to Jim" get created and stay on for years.

The Best Show of the 2006 Fall Season.Mar 14, 2007
By Jeffrey Mason
Let me start off by saying that this show was a complete surprise. The show landed on my radar simply because I like to watch all the pilots I can and I had a Wednesday night free. With that said, Kidnapped is the season's best new show, and not just of the ones that were cancelled.
Kidnapped looks like your run of the mill show at first glance. With a name like Kidnapped and previews that showed nothing special, it would seem that this show would change the climate of television about as much as another CSI spinoff, but that's not the case, starting with the actors.
Jeremy Sisto does an excellent job as the kidnapping specialist, gelling with every scene and situation. Timothy Hutton and Dana Delaney work well as the grieving parents, giving out little hints of what is going on inside in every scene. Delaney especially excels in this category. Finally, Delroy Lindo plays the experienced cop to perfection. The rest of the cast is just as good, making every scene work.
Good actors are to be expected in such a series, but good writing is not, and this is where Kidnapped launches itself to new heights. The writing is outstanding in every way possible. The dramatic scenes and emotional dialogue are aced with ease while Sisto's Knapp is given witty and humorous dialogue at all the right times. Not to mention the kidnapping story is done extremely well, handing out surprises around every corner.
It is so rare that a show like this be so good. With shows like Lost and 24 steadily losing viewership it would have been nice to see this show thrive, but the show didn't find an audience and was cancelled after just three weeks, even after being moved to the artic tundra of Saturday. Luckily the show was given a thirteen episode commitment, which is the only reason this DVD exists. Buy it, rent it, watch it. It's worth it.

 Not bad, but could have become better in timeJan 02, 2008
By Robert A. Postuma
Like cult-fave "MURDER ONE" before it - this was another attempt at a season-long story-line. No matter how good it was - or may have become - it was doomed from the get go becuase of this. Most viewers don't have the patience to sit through something this involving, without letting go after a few episodes. Despite "24" seeming to do this - that show is in reality several 2-3 episode arcs, rather than a true continuing story - while shows like KIDNAPPED & MURDER ONE - you had to follow what was happening episode by episode or be lost forever.
The cast -let by Sisto - was spectacular. Strangely, the weakest link of the cast was Timothy Hutton, though I blame this shortcoming on the networks cramming the show into fewer episodes than they originally planned on - making some of the ongoing plots and sub-plots weaker than they should have been ( or abandoned all-together ).
My one complaint about this set - is that the "documentary" included on the 2nd disc of the set of 3, does BLOW the mystery/ending of the whole series. In my eyes, it should have been included on the final disc in the series, not the middle one.

Addicting!Feb 18, 2007
By A. L. Bryant
"card-carrying bibliophile"
Kidnapping--it's every family's nightmare, and every child's worst fear.
No matter how powerful you are, or how wealthy, a crime like this teaches you that you are truly powerless in the face of evil. But there are people who can show you how to fight back.
This show explores every emotion, every tribulation, every pitfall and every necessary evil involved in trying to find and retrieve a lost loved one. It's gritty, believable and yet so very touching. The hard edges are softened by performances of such depth that you find yourself drawn in from Day One (the pilot episode).
The plot is dense and well-thought out; the banter witty and emotionally charged.
And please, don't miss one of greatest performances ever by a teenage actor on a serialized television drama. Will Denton's Leopold Cain is fascinating--brilliance, determination and fierce self-mastery masked by vulnerability and helplessness. You will not truly know who he is until the last few episodes--Leo's that complex.
His parents, played by Timothy Hutton and Dana Delany, were masterfully acted as well, written so that you never know their true motives or the real motive behind the kidnapping until the end.
Who kidnapped Leopold Cain and why? You have 13 episodes to figure it out! Maybe you will. I was *totally* blind-sided by the true culprit, and that's a sign of brilliant writing.
