Anyone remember being a kid, loving that theme song, and then not giving a **** about the show?
Actually recently watched an episode and it held up surprisingly well.

I like watching the original ones on Amazon Prime, I also have a collection of VHS taped episodes on a hard drive.
Mainstream investigations of alleged paranormal phenomenon don't excite me anymore. A guy I work with is always telling me about bigfoot and ghost videos he watches and it always sounds the same. A sound. A light. What was that!? Yawn.

The show is awesome. Been a fan since I was a kid, even though the music and skits would scare the absolute fuck out of me sometimes.
I own 3 of the collections on DVD and they were worth every penny: Ghosts, UFOs, and Strange Legends.
The show was always a good time but the paranormal stuff was definitely the best part.
It's been on Amazon for a while and within the last year or so I think the whole show (maybe missing some segments?) was put up on YouTube.
Some episodes are creepy as shit to this day and I wouldn't be caught dead watching em alone at night.
Robert Stack, the music, and the rather well done reenactments made the show a classic.
Without an amazing narrator and great music that suits the mood perfectly this ain't touching the original.

Just finished watching the first 6 episodes (volume 1). 5 murders and one UFO phenomenon.
This show desperately needs a host
Still it is pretty damn good, some of these stories, man... holy fucking shit

I had today off so I binged all of them and was pleasantly surprised. There's still a lot of mystique to them and I'm glad they used lesser-known mysteries.
Its very different from the classic Unsolved Mysteries in that it focuses on one case per episode and there is no narrator (for the best since Robert Stack is dead any I doubt anyone could measure up.)

Watched three (not in order) finding it really boring. Cold Case Files seems way better. Not getting any closure is dull. I can appreciate that for UFO stories but why revisit normal cases with no resolve?

The technology exist to take Stacks words and cleanly reorganize them to have him narrate today. Then I'd watch.

The idea was originally to highlight paranormal cases as well as cold cases which the public might be able to help with, Stack always gave the number and said "Perhaps you can help solve a mystery", and they would do follow up episodes when tips were called in and something came of it. Sounds like the new one is more about slick dramatizations.

There's a bit too much personal drama there for sappiness in some cases. I'd rather a colder format than sitting there listening to heartwarming stories of how great the victims were for 20 minutes.
However the later episodes are shorter and better and I liked the French house story as it truly shows the mentality of French aristocracy well.
UFO episode is pure shlock, what's not to love?

‘Unsolved Mysteries’ revival on Netflix surges in popularity with tips already coming in
New episodes feature more family interviews and documentary footage, but skips the original’s cheesy, but delightful actor reenactments.

It's probably going to help solve some of these mysteries!
According to Grunge, more than HALF the mysteries from the first series were solved after people watched it and helped!! Insane!

Any one watching season 2 yet? I freeking love this show.
I wonder what Jack Wheeler knew that got him killed? Clearly a hit. So strange. Maybe a manic episode where he was compromised?
