We all know the show was in its hayday during the late 80's early 90's and as such the technology and fashion sometimes really sticks out when watching them. What are some of the episodes when you thought to yourself how silly some of those dated episodes look.

For me it was the hairstyles on some of the people. Who could forget "David" in the aphrodisiac episode with his long coiffured hair. I bet he spent more time with the blow dryer in front of a mirror than the doctor did making those chocolate roofies.

I also can't forget the hairstyles of some of the people like Jet and his totally tubular 80's girlfriend in the Crystal Spencer episode. I also can't tell you in how many bad movies I've heard that scream they hear in.

What about you all.

The more dated a segment is, the more I like it. The 80's ruled. You think them crappy reality shows and today's music can compete with that?

Amen! The 80's made up the first ten years of life, so I feel you on that comment.

I love the beginning of the Jenny Pratt segment where the kids are walking out of school. The music, the hair and fashion makes it look like the start of an 80's teen movie. Those were the days where I thought high school kids were so old but they were cool and I wanted to be just like them.

The first one that comes to mind would be the silk button up shirt that Cynthia Anderson had. They used to be very popular and I had one just like it in high school. :)

The "countess," Barbara Helga King, carried a mobile phone the size of a brick when she was conning people in Cleveland.

The Eric Kessler segment with the "stunning" technology where they used a computer to show how a new hairstyle would look. So dated, but so fabulous! I love anything 80s, so that's probably why I love UM so much (even though the bulk of it was in the 90s).

The "retro" is what makes UM awesome. I love watching the really old segments with the sweet sweet mullets. :)

I prefer the 1980's/1990's hair styles to the monstrosities we have today.

As a woman, I prefer the hair styles today. ( I hate super big hair with a can of hairspray) and those shoulder pads on women? So masculine. Although I am a fan of leggings so I'm glad those are back in style. I was born in 1987 so I honestly don't remember any of the 80s but I will say portraits of my parents from the 80s were hilarious lol. Any time I see computers on a UM segment, its shocking how far we have come in technology just with 25 years. I cant tell you how many segments of UM I'm thinking "If they only they had a cell phone, this could've been prevented."

But it's not every day you see someone with a cellphone. Just saying...

The women's hair styles are fine, it is the metro sexual styles most men have nowadays. I yearn for the days a white man could rock an afro.

I think of Dorothy Donovan's killer who had over-sized framed glasses. Reminds me of Clark Griswold glasses.

Basically any woman that had huge bangs or a frizzed out perm. A guy with a mullet. Pegged jeans or over-sized t-shirts with the sleeves cuffed. Just too many cases to name. :lol:

rob page's computer when he sees the note his wife "wrote"

I think you would have less amount of episodes that aren't dated.

The whole Dark Dante segment SLAYS me for the same reason. His computer is FREAKING HUGE!!!

I get that it wasn't when the segment aired. Advances in technology just make things like that really stand out. You know? :)

A whole slew of other segments could be included for retro computers. Like the one the investigative reporter was using in the Bonnie Wilder segment. Or the one used by the reporter investigating the murders of the Ohio prostitutes.

They remind me of the days when card catalogs were just just beginning to get transferred to computers at libraries, just a couple years before the internet started. Small screens, no colors, no graphics.

I agree. Men's hair styles were more versatile and interesting decades ago.

I briefly succumbed to so-called modern styling but now have reverted to my '80s look, even if I can't fully produce it due to a bit of hair hair loss in the front temples. Fortunately the crown is still fully intact. It feels so much more comfortable that way, using my natural part. I had almost forgotten I have naturally wavy hair.

My sister hates it. She's paranoid about being so-called "out of style." I ask her who she's trying to impress, or who I should be trying to impress? I'm also thrilled that I have gone back to wearing golf visors and not caps.

Society is more and more dependent on fear. Those Direct TV commercials with Rob Lowe crack me up. Let's see how many subsets we can insult. Yep, that's the ticket. If you're not exactly like me, fully up to date, something's wrong with you.

Besides, this generation has more than its share of styles and choices that will seem ridiculous decades from now. Baggy pants succumbing to gravity and enabling views I don't want. Tramp stamps. No hair where it's supposed to be but plenty of rings and pins where they make no sense. Bizarre names for children, as if it's a contest to deviate from the traditional classic names.

Bizarre names for children, as if it's a contest to deviate from the traditional classic names.

Don't even get me started on children's names. In my line of work, I see some of the most absurdly named children. I'm like, "That's a typo. TELL ME THAT'S A TYPO. Do you realize they have to live with this name? Do you think this name is going to assist them in adulthood?" Sheesh.

Dang, Awsi, I figured you'd be on board with the tramp stamp phenomenon. :)

Can we take a second and just focus on the awesomeness that was Tim McClure's hair in the late 80's-early 90's? For real? I know there's a whole thread devoted to it, but it's just legendary. :)

Any segment that says the "Soviet Union." Case in point, the Ogopogo segment.

Hey guys, be nice now. I have the infamous "tramp stamp". I was 18 in 2005 and did it the day I turned 18. lmao

I like tramp stamps. Christy Mack drives me wild.

Any segment that says the "Soviet Union." Case in point, the Ogopogo segment.

That map though.

That map though.
:lol:

That map actually creeped me out (I wrote about it a while ago in the embarrassing scary moments thread) because of the music playing at the same time.

Did anyone else notice that in the DVDs that came out in 2005 that in the psychopath world leaders segment, that at the end they cut off where the original segment Robert Stack said "Saddam Husseins fate has yet to be seen" or something to that affect?

Also any segment with a car phone is pretty dated

Everytime Robert Stack says "They were regular church goers" to stress that the people portrayed were upstanding citizens. Thats pretty dated to me. The later UM episodes of the late 90s and early 2000s never said that. It was mostly the late 80s early 90s episodes.

That woman whos husband burned down their own church in the middle of nowhere and he turned out to be a serial bigamist? I cant remember their names but she seemed willing to take him back. Her hair and glasses were totally 80s!! lol

it wouldn't be so bad but in the reboot reruns they try and act like the cases were somewhat recent (well late 2000's at least) by never mentioning dates. Except for everyone's driving hooptie sedans with woodgrains and all...

Definitely any of the segments that featured "satanic panic" or references to D&D. Gaming, especially LARP (live action roleplay) has changed so much and now it's considered more acceptable and celebrated to cosplay as your favorite game characters/comic book heroes/etc. Back in the 80's? They'd be ready to lock you in a padded cell.

Well ironically your famous avatar is a selfie. Something that has become popular with tech advances

I like tramp stamps. Christy Mack drives me wild.
Woah


Well tattoos at 40 and below are great. Tattoos above 40 not so much.

What about the pay phone segments and hitch hiking. Take those away and UM is less scary. It's hard to believe I grew up using pay phoneS and in 2004 got my first cell phone.

Does anyone remember the 1989 MTV haircut???

That's a good point. I had never thought about it before, but Patricia Meehan practically invented the selfie.

Definitely a good one. With cell phones, you're also less likely to be stranded on the road for a long period of time after your car breaks down. You notice you don't see that storyline much anymore on television.

It was indeed a happening. The irresistible force against the immovable object.

I don't think payphones are completely extinct yet but we're close.

The payphone Jeremy Bright talked to his mother on (outside of McKay's Market in Myrtle Point, OR) shortly before he disappeared in 1986 is still there today.

Well ohio is dated too :lol: joking

Any segment that suggests a satanic element to the case. It's interesting because nowadays I sometimes see cases suggesting a Christian "cult" angle to them, but never Satanism.

Yep, the Satanic panic of the 1980's was a force to be reckoned with. I remember that my mother was TERRIFIED of my brother and I being kidnapped by one of these said cults. In rural Montana.

To quote Dr. Evil: Rrrriiiigggghhht. :)

The 10 or 15,000 dollar Apple Quadra 950 from the Tom Johnson segment.

I'm not a computerphile, but I'm sure that one could get the same things done with a newer computer that cost MUCH less, today. It's sad they never found that guy :(

The phone in your pocket is likely several times more powerful than that computer.

The nostalgia factor of UM makes it great. I was born in the 80s so it always takes me back.

The phone in your pocket is likely several times more powerful than that computer.

Joke's on you....I don't have a phone in my pocket! :lol:

I'm one of the few surviving holdouts who doesn't own (and refuses to get) a cell phone.

But no, I think the special thing with that computer was it was supposed to be something for graphic design and stuff? I could be wrong, but I think it was something specialized. That being said, I'm sure most current decent laptops can probably accomplish the same things (and more) as that thing.

How about when during the I-70 Killer segment when Robert Stack said something along the lines of "The witness called police on a portable phone" after the killer walked away? That I find kind of funny now a days, with how amazing that must have seemed back then, but is obviously ridiculously primitive now, with almost everybody having a "portable"/mobile cell phone today! (L.O.L.!)

That's a good point. I had never thought about it before, but Patricia Meehan practically invented the selfie.

Funny you mentioned this, as I was watching the Patricia Meehan case the other night, and was thinking the exact same thing too! It would have been quite hilarious to hear Robert Stack say the word "selfie", when he described Patricia taking a haunting "self portrait" of herself during that episode. I can only wonder what took the world so long to come up with that catchy, but also somewhat obvious, and now commonly used phrase, which is now recently, suddenly a natural part of life's vocabulary these days.

I like to imagine Robert Stack saying, "Before she left the bathroom and vanished without a trace, Patrica stopped. A bystander overheard her say, "Wait, lemme take a selfie.""

Hahaha so that's what bob would think about selfies. Haunting self portraits. Well if hers was haunting(I know he meant that because of the timing) but I've seen some absolute horrific ones that are much more haunting than hers. She was a good looking young woman. Wish her family the best.

The Signal Mountain Murders segment, where the three men were out riding their 3-wheel ATV's. I remember a young boy from the next town over being killed accidentally while riding one in the mid-eighties. :(

I think they stopped making them around '87 or '88.

Another one is the Ethel Kidd segment where they talk about the killer using flash cards to solicit sex along the highway. Now you can get online on Craigslist or a sex site to request a booty call.

And I've always wondered what became of Patricia, and could only imagine what she must have been going through. That especially being with her maybe thinking she was a wanted fugitive who may have seriously hurt someone, or worse, but was thankfully not the case. Sad story it was too, with the depression she was fighting at the time, and with how that accident may have been what pushed her over the edge.

wow does that actually work?

I have a friend whose primary means of sex is through that site. He is gay though.

I don't make any judgement calls on people who do this, but I always thought the activity seemed pretty high risk any way you slice it.

Was watching the Stuart Heaton case this morning - it's funny how quickly the idea that DNA evidence would be controversial turned around. Admittedly, DNA analysis wasn't very advanced back then, but it didn't take long before "the CSI effect" took over (juries expecting there to be cut-and-dried forensics that prove the suspect committed the crime).

When I was deployed, it got out that some of the civilian contractors on our post were using Craigslist to do the same thing amongst themselves. It kicked off a moderate little fuss that resulted in us (the military personnel) getting multiple briefs on how we were expressly forbidden from doing the same. Not that most of us had any inclination to do so, especially over there. puke:

The more I learn about things that are transmitted sexually (and not just through intercourse) in nursing school, the less I want to imagine the health risks alone associated with that practice.

I certainly understand you on diseases, sexually transmitted or otherwise.

Another aspect of it that I thought is high risk (at least about how he does it) is that he has invited people to his house. I asked him how he knows that he's not being set up for a robbery, burglary when he's not home, or even just encountering some clingy screwball who could show up at random times. He says he talks at length with potential partners, but still. I would worry about that stuff.

Your comments remind me of a friend of mine who went to med school. He got so worried about diseases that any ailment you might tell him you're experiencing he'll tell you it could be a symptom of cancer or something hideous. My father was a hospice nurse, and he used to do the same thing.

Of course, I don't mean to imply you're that far gone. Just your comments reminded me of that. In any event, good luck in your studies. :)

in all seriousness this is a legit fear (or should be) since there have been several cases of "Craigslist Killers" ... or at least one that I can recall. I'd be more wary of the hanger ons you allude to who just don't want to go away. Charlie Sheen once said he didn't pay pro's to come over, he paid them to leave.

Of course there were/are several cases of taking a guy back from the bar and getting offed. Or of your spouse murdering you. Or the guy sitting on the bus next to you decapitating you. Murderers gonna murder.

Nothing wrong with deviating a little from traditional names, in my opinion.

I can see that being an issue some of the civilians that stay over there in those places for years upon years before they leave. I wonder what other types of shady activity goes down??

I seem to recall they had a woman (or a mannequin) wearing a frumpy shaggy ugly wig and glasses showing what she may have looked like in one case. I think maybe it was Elaine Parent?...

TK Harty/John Mooney: Nickel beer. Need I say more?

Angela Hammond was attacked n abducted while talking in a phone booth. Today shed be able to safely call/text anyone from a cellphone from either her car or inside a store

Maybe Kristi Krebs would still be alive if she has a Tom-Tom or GPS?

The Bush/Quayle & Dukakis/Bentson campaign signs from the 1988 presidential election in the Tim Berry segment were another good example! (L.O.L.!)

Angela Hammond was attacked n abducted while talking in a phone booth. Today shed be able to safely call/text anyone from a cellphone from either her car or inside a store

We made a list a few years back mentioning every case we could think of that would have had different conclusions if cell phones were around back then as they are now. It was a long list.

If I had to guess, I'd say phone booths now are about 95% extinct. Once in a while, you'll run across one. Though they're usually in smaller towns or communities. For instance, the phone booth that Jeremy Bright used to call his mother the day he disappeared in 1986 is still outside the supermarket in Myrtle Point today.

I'd say that's probably a good estimate. Occasionally, I will see one in L.A. and it always surprises me. I never see anyone using these city ones. When I was in Yosemite a few years back, I saw a few getting a lot of use because of the poor cell phone reception, but that's about it.

I like to imagine Robert Stack saying, "Before she left the bathroom and vanished without a trace, Patrica stopped. A bystander overheard her say, "Wait, lemme take a selfie.""

Thank God she wasn't doing duck lips...

There's no more roadside vhs tapes (Omar the arsonist). Not that it made sense to have a family night and watch some strange tape that you found...

I always think of 'Tom Johnson's' brutal robbery/homicide over a Quadra 950. A computer at the time worth thousands of dollars, now worth a couple hundred in operable condition or for the parts.

The graphics and opening theme of Seasons 8-9 still look very modern in 2018, even though it's been 21-22 years since those episodes were filmed. However, one segment in Season 9 stood out to me as dated and that was the fertility statue one. The lady who tripped over the feet of the statue (Kimberly) looks dated as her curly hair and long striped shirt are definitely out dated.

Any case where lightning surged through someone's body

I’ve pondered this for awhile but it’s amazing that there was a plethora of UFO stories and Lochness type sightings in the first generation UM era yet when was the last time you heard about a UFO sighting or a lake monster witness?

We had several people allegedly see Champy back in 2003.

The 80's arcade games in the Steven Cox segment (including one of my all time favorite games in Punch-Out!!, which they showed up close) was another example too! (L.O.L.!)

I don't have any memories of the arcade game but when it got transferred to the Nintendo console and became 'Mike Tyson's Punch-Out', I remember playing it obsessively in 5th grade. Classic game! But I could never beat Mr. Sandman.

That's always the Punch-Out game everyone thinks of, and remembers best in the series, due to Tyson being featured in it, back when he was at his peak prime. It was the most popular, and well known ever one too by far. That, and everybody often seems to ask if it's Mike Tyson's Punch-Out I'm referring to, whenever I mention the lesser known arcade games, and have to explain to them, that isn't the Punch-Out game I'm talking about! Sandman was actually fairly easy to me in that game, t.b.h. It was Super Macho Man, who I couldn't get past, as I didn't realize you were supposed to dodge left, and NOT right whenever he was doing his super spin punch move, which was so annoying! I was actually able to defeat Tyson before him, once I found out the code which automatically got you up that match! (L.O.L.!)

The nudist camp segment with "Rusty". The VHS rental store is classic!

There was also a game in the Punch-Out series called Arm Wrestling that featured Bald Bull that no one seems to know about

For me, it'd have to be the segment about Curly Green (WWI vet who died alone and left behind about $200K). For part of it, you see Robert Stack walking through what I think is the 3rd floor of the library downtown. From certain angles, you can tell they didn't bother updating the late 70's decor (carpet, furniture, paint etc that was all original to the place when it opened in 1977).

Darn near everything in the Omar arsonist segment, from the dad's hairdo to the VCR tapes to the absolutely awful quality of the video. The investigators zooming in to nothing ... might have been cutting-edge technology then but now it's laughable.

I'll have to go back and check but I thought they were using a regular VCR to constantly rewind and play that tape. I think it would be a stretch to call that cutting edge technology even for 1989.

I guess any episode where there's no cellphones.

I just watched the Darlie Routier segment yesterday and I noticed in one of the home movies she's wearing a pair of Girbaud jeans.
