I remember reading on here that a Canadian station called Prime Network was airing UM. Is it still on? And what episodes are they showing? I thought someone said they were only airing the CBS/Lifetime episodes, but I was curious to know if they were showing the older episodes from '87-'93 as well.

Thanks,
Justin

I live in Canada and have seen the entire run of Unsolved from Prime. It was a very unfortunate experience for me and my brother, as we got hooked on the show again after the gap from the CBS run. But the problem for us was that Prime seemed to only have a limited amount of episodes. It went into reruns after 2-3 months worth of weekday airiings. We don't watch it anymore because of this. It used to be on at 9pm in Canada, now it airs on 1am in the mornings. After that timelsot, we weren't sure if it meant Prime no longer cares for the show or if the ratings dropped to shove it into such a droll timeslot. I'd imagine that the show had great ratings when it started, one of the cases aired actually led to the capture of a child molester if my memory serves I think last year. I've not seen it for a while and pretty much think Prime hasn't taken more episodes from Lifetimes run. Thats what we'd hoped Prime would've obtained the entire two year Lifetime run with the new stories/updates. We only got a small portion of that run. I taped all of it and we didn't see any from the earlier years. Their all the Lifetime repackaged episodes.
That also dissapointed us about the dvds. By fluke about half the sets story
segments we'd actually seen just from Prime. So the sets haven't been too new for us in seeing any segments from long ago in the shows run. Hope this helps you. I'd liked to contact you for any of the early Mysteries specials soon. It seems you and crystaldawn are my hopes for this.
