The show actually started 3 years before i was born , but in the early 00's i became obsessed with watching the re-runs on lifetime & also the new episodes that sometimes came on.

Robert Stack's voice was freaking destinty for a show like this!, his dark, booming voice added so much to each story that was told.

I always liked this show more then Americas Most Wanted(A great show as well) Because it didn't focus on just criminals... but on the supernatural, aliens, people trying to re-connect with family etc

I love that show! Was so interesting and so many of the stories were so believable! And some sad

But it was such a good show

I loved that show. I still watch it from time to time when I catch it on. It was a little creepy with that dude hosting it. I don't like they way they changed it to that other non-creepy sounding guy....made it a little less engaging.

What show was always the creepiest was Autopsy.

The reenactments where... well didn't have the best acting in the early years

But as it went on production you could tell was a lot higher budget & they made some really great reenactments that made the story even more engaging

I do hate hearing about those that where never solved , when i was young i would get so excited when i would see the same story pop up on another show & thank OMG there will be an update! and sometimes when there wasn't i would be like

Classic.

But only the Robert Stack ones. Again, these dimwits didn't know how good they had it and got another guy after Stack died and he wasn't about shit lol

KIDA i forgot ALL about that show... wow

That show had a lot of buzz in the 90's right before HBO got it's big break with Oz & The Sopranos.

Oh & i agree... i feel bad. But i just can't dig the newer Unsolved Mysteries.. i realize the focus of the show is the stories. But Dennis Farina just was not as engaging or had the presence Robert Stack had.

It was an ok show, too short for one hour.

I used to love that show . The tone of it was very good, & watching it in the dark would always make me look around a little bit, no matter what room I was in

Autopsy always scared the shit out of me. I was a grown ass woman scared to go upstairs to my own bed. And I would be creeped out over the stories that couldn't possibly happen to me. Like the one about the dr that robbed his girlfriend's body from her grave, preserved her, created a mask for her, had sex with her every night. Creepy fucking shit!

I almost forgot about that show, I used to watch back in elementary school, and would get saddened about the cases involving violence against women and children.

Another good one was New York Undercover, but by then I was limiting tv to music videos and using the rest of the time for homework and going online sometimes.

Unsolved Mysteries used to scare the shit out of me. The music is what got me. Scary as hell, then combine that with Robert Stack's voice...shucks, the Chiller channel should put these re-runs on for Halloween.

HBO's Autopsy is my shit! And yes it's creepy as hell, but I still love it. They go further into the stories on Autopsy and show more graphic photos...unlike Unsolved Mysteries, there were very few re-enacted scenes by actors. Instead they would actually show the real buildings of where the crimes took place, that alone made my skin crawl.

I remember the one where this young man re-called that he had a sister but his family denied it...later on they found that his mother and older brother had murdered his twin sister when she was like 2, because she knocked a cup on the floor or something and the mother and older brother beat her to death. Then they put her body in a trunk and just stacked boxes and stuff on top of it. Twenty plus years later, police got involved, found the trunk and the skeleton of the little girl. I think the mother still denied the whole thing but she and the older brother ended up being arrested and the young man was able to finally bury his sister properly.

Actually i grew up watching this show...was more fascinated with it when the local news broadcasted a episode that a Unsolved Mystery was never solved in my town i was living at the time.....a woman was killed and her killer was never found( they...aka Unsolved Mystery crew... actually came to the area to film it) to this day and to my knowledge it goes Unsolved still sadly

Why?! Why?1 WHY! What network did that show, because that sounds like something dumbass NBC would do.

That show could get deep. I remember a couple of cases but the one that stands out: The young boy who was discovered dead in the in Arkansas woods, after he left with his parents permission for an over night hunting trip. There was some discrepancies on what killed this boy, but it wasn't an accidental self-inflicted shot as was first reported. Later on there was some rumors he ran up on (Regan adminsration Iran-Contra) CiA using a remote small airport to bring drugs into the country from Central America. Later on the parents claimed they recieved a phone call from a guy, telling them in affect... Their son was at the wrong place at the wrong time. "They" were so sorry but it would be in their interest to drop the questions about his death.
