The New Unsolved Mysteries Program on the Spike Network A TRUE GEM!

I finally was able to catch a semi mini-marathon this afternoon of the new revamped, restyled and moderized version of the 80's cult classic Unsolved Mysteries.  The original series hosted by the legandary Robert Stack allowed the paranormal topics television coverage.  Unsolved Mysteries became a true  mainstay for the paranormal. Robert Stack brought a distinct cleverness to the series, with his calm yet suspenseful narration each story was entertaining and interesting.  Stack's delivery style was truly what defined the series.  The premise for Unsolved Mysteries was  to uncover all types of the unknown, the stories ranged from murder mysteries to missing persons,   even the paranormal.and bizarre  The show had a terrific longtime run with a great loyal  following but was quietly cancelled and forgotten by most. The only way of watching Unsolved Mysteries usually ment uploading old episodes on YouTube, or possibly catching a rerun on some late night channel.  That was until recently the Spike Network reworked , rebranded, and relaunched Unsolved Mysteries modernized for this century. When I heard  this news I was excited and eager to watch the primiere episode.   Unfortunately I was not able to. 

I grew up watching the show as a true fan, this show and  I proudly admit  Unsolved Mysteries elevated my curiousity in the paranormal.  I can add that I practically ran home to watch it when it was on.  Unsolved Mysteries covered the paranormal with an honest and unbiased respectful way especially in the 80's when "safe television" seem to dominate the television airwaves.  From the very first episode I saw in the 80's I was hooked.  Today I saw two episodes and I am already a fan of the new Unsolved Mysteries series hosted by Dennis Farina. 

Dennis Farina  a well known actor from Hollywood with a lengthy career and resume. With Dennis Farina as a host he brings along  his own unique delivery and style carefully illustrating each story effectively and remarkably similar to Stack's calming tone.  The new Unsolved Mysteries picks up exactly where the original left off covering all sorts of unsolved crimes, unexplained disappearences, and of course the paranormal.  There is also a website set up exclusively for the show here is the link

A great site with a complete  bio of Dennis Farina,  Opening sequences, Trailers, and pictures of some of the casefiles.  There is also an area were you can register for updates and an area where a person can assist in the solving of a profiled case and finally a store.with official merchandise from the show.

Overall this show was a huge influence for my search and  discovering many unexplained phenomenoms especially in the paranormal filed of research.  Not all the stories are strictly paranormal, this does not efeect the show in any way though. The variety of stories on Unsolved Mysteries makes it interesting and fresh,  I relize it's still early but I am confident that this remake of the classic series will certainly become a household name once again in the paranormal believer's favourite television programs list.
