They are supposed to release all of the Robert Stack Seasons from 1987 to 2002. They are being released one season a month and should all be out by the end of this year.

Weren't there 14 Stack seasons? That would take us to February 2018.

Season 9 is the last full season. NBC cancelled UM after season 9, and CBS picked it up for two more seasons with just 6 episodes each.

After that, Lifetime produced some new segments, which they tacked on to reruns. They were not full episodes. (That is not to impugn their work in any way...many of the Lifetime-produced segments are very good, and most importantly, they were hosted by Robert Stack).

^I wonder if those Lifetime segments will be released on Amazon.

On Facebook, they said 12 seasons. So I guess that would be...

Season 10: CBS
Season 11: CSB
Season 12: I guess would be the Lifetime segments edited in regular-sized episodes?

I think this is how the Seasons will go:

Season 10: 12 episodes, combines all of the 1998-1999 CBS episodes into one season

Season 11: 15 Episodes

Season 12: 15 Episodes

There were 120 NEW segments broadcast on Lifetime during the 2001-2002 seasons. Assume 4 cases per episode (that was the norm in the NBC years)

120 Segments/4 cases per episode = 30 episodes

30 episodes/2 seasons = 15 episodes per season

Keep in mind that some of the segments that were omitted along the way could possibly show up in the later seasons which will have plenty of gaps to fill.

Ahh, ok! Well that's plenty to keep me busy through the rest of the year. My Prime Membership runs until May and Unsolved Mysteries is the only reason I subscribed.

EDIT: I didn't know that the CBS seasons were so short, and I was confused as to how the Lifetime situation worked. So thanks for clearing things up!
