There was a period of 2 or 3 straight years where it seemed they were showing the Resurrection Mary segment every week. But luckily, one of the posters here e-mailed the network and asked for the older segments to be shown and they did this past fall.

I'm probably going to make some enemies by saying this (like I care) but my vote goes to the The Larry Dickens murder aka the "Matthew Mccoughnay" story.

I agree the guy was very heroic, and I feel bad for the family. But come on, this case was solved years ago. They even re-worked it into one of the "new" shows and put it on the "Bizarre Murders" DVD for Christ's sake. Can't they just let the poor man rest in peace?

Second runner up would have to be that story about the striper found dead in her apartment. Someone phoned it in, but the police couldn't ascertain if the caller was the killer or a bystander who just happened on to the scene.

Third, the story about the guy in a turban who forced a cab driver to rob a bank with a fake bomb.

Fourth, that stupid story about the school that was almost blown up.

Ditto about the school explosion! Also the Moss Beach Distillery and the Comedy Store ghosts. (My all time least favorite repeated episode is Resurrection Mary but someone already mentioned it.) :)

Some of the"Lost Love"segments get repeated an awful lot. It's to the point where I can almost repeat the dialogue word for word, but I have to say that school explosion story gets my vote as being the most repeated story. Cheesy special effects and all.

1. school explosion
2. case where someone was delivering anonymous letters (was there a murder involved?) in a small town, etc.
3. lost loves (solved). I truly am glad they were solved but come on, over and over and over. I admit I DO get a kick out of checking out the awful 80s wardrobes and the HUGE telephones they show them talking on, etc......:lol:

The Ted Losiff (spelling???) story. This is the one about the physician who was found dead in his garage. Ive seen it about 10 times.

School explosion and drugged milkshake (with the infamous "He's got Johnathan" line) get my vote. Also the Teresita Bassa one. I agree about Ressurrection Mary too.

Ooh, yeah, there are some stories they really need to update.

Also the girl getting thrown off the balcony by her boss in a hotel room.

I could watch Resurrection Mary twice a day and it would never get old, especially if one of them is at 3 or 4 AM with a chill brisk wind blowing the curtains through my bedroom window.

And I must be remarkably unlucky because I never see that damn episode anymore!

I click the channel immediately on the school bombing segment. The dialogue in the Amelia Earhart episode I know by heart, "evidence which conclusively solves..." So those must be among the most abused.

That guy was acquitted, which I don't understand at all. He seemed to be six degrees of guilty... but yeah, it is a segment that gets repeated quite a bit. The Alcatraz special and the Diabolical Minds segments also get played quite a bit.

And... just based on the UM episodes from today... we can't forget about the Message in the Bottle, either. (I hate that segment!)

Hah... I love Message in a Bottle, cause I've always wanted to do that! I haven't observed that they've been showing that a lot, but I haven't really been watching consistently in the last year.

The one that used to win the prize for most frequent episode was Amy Billig. To the end of her life, her mother believed that Amy was alive and would be found.

My mother was fascinated by that case and told me many times that she was certain Amy was alive and that the man who claimed to kill her was lying. Stranger things have happened!

Ok here are the cases Im sick of seeing:

1. The "He's got Johnathan" I like that case and the butch blonde police officer who interrogates her.
2. The con artist twin who dies and comes back as her sister.
3. The southern woman who swindles investors and gives them cakes
4. The Amelia Earhardt cases which I saw yesterday. Nice touch with the 95 yr old oriental woman who swears she saw Amelia get executed, and the shoe sole which "proves" she was there.
5. The boys on the tracks is also getting very old
6. The Guy with amnesia in the desert who finally finds his family and cant remember them, he also conveniently forgot he had a criminal record.
7. The Indian family who got killed by the voodoo lady
8. The guy who got shot by the girlfriends former lover
9. The Easter Island mystery. Yawn
10. The Bigfoot mystery. See above

The Wackers, I tried to forget about that case....They are the equivalent of the Yogi Kudu from "That's Incredible" for all the late 70's / early 80's people.

Seconding the school bombing and the chair-o-death. :P

In the late 90s, it seemed like they showed the Lost Loves segment about the girl with polio who found her friend from junior high about once a week. It was a sweet story and all, but it got to the point where my mother refused to watch the reruns with me because she swore that they'd show that segment. :P
