True Crime is a part of everyday media that the TV series, specials, films, and documentaries all about it have been around forever. But actually, that's not the case. The format we now see, wasn’t the norm at all in the 80s. A weekly series built around cases and interviews with the people who were a part of them, re-enacting the crimes…had never been done before.
But then one day a series came along that would not only showcase True Crime but would also give us ghosts, UFOs, and all points in between. Not only that, but the theme song would cause PTSD in most kids my age who had the fortune or misfortune to hear it. That series is Unsolved Mysteries (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125227/http://www.jumptheshark.com/u/unsolvedmysteries.htm), a series so popular that it changed not only pop culture but the way investigations within law enforcement were conducted.
Today on Gone But Not Forgotten, we’re delving into the question of what happened to Unsolved Mysteries (https://web.archive.org/web/20140329230933/http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/topic/3124949-unsolved-mysteries/?view=getnewpost).
