View Full Version : Unsolved Mysteries asking for episode ideas Jon 09-19-2025, 04:24 PM https://x.com/unsolved/status/1969122345466929221?s=46 https://unsolved.com/submit-stories/ Gelatinous Goo 09-21-2025, 07:20 AM How about something with no host and a lot of drones? That might be fun. Dude111 09-21-2025, 02:01 PM How about going back to the way it was with Bobby?? Its been crappy since then......... Charlie99909 09-22-2025, 01:04 PM Christ, yall some miserable people here. The show is fine. Dude111 09-22-2025, 01:17 PM Ah man!! Street Novelist 09-22-2025, 01:24 PM https://x.com/unsolved/status/1969122345466929221?s=46 https://unsolved.com/submit-stories/ So, they've already run out of ideas? :lol: Dude111 09-22-2025, 01:48 PM No surprise!! ghosthouse 09-22-2025, 08:53 PM How about going back to the way it was with Bobby?? Its been crappy since then......... To be honest...i think if they had a new host and ran it like the old show it would get just as much hate as the version they air now. I actually wouldn't mind Steve French or the guy that narrated early Disappeared episodes...but no one is going to compare to Robert Stack and anyone they pick would get roasted. DALLASTEXAN!! 09-23-2025, 12:00 AM I think it is cool they are trying to get ideas from the public. it's kind of like what they used to do back in the day. maybe in a different format.

If he still has his voice, I would love to see Bill Kurtis host it. I never get tired of his voice. Gelatinous Goo 09-23-2025, 06:47 AM The reason UM should have never come back is equatable to why ABBA refuses to reunite: remember it as it was, for it can never be recaptured in the same way. tvscript124 09-23-2025, 10:19 PM The reason UM should have never come back is equatable to why ABBA refuses to reunite: remember it as it was, for it can never be recaptured in the same way. It does represent a different era, especially since Robert Stack is gone. freakbook 09-24-2025, 05:39 AM Christ, yall some miserable people here. The show is fine. not our fault you have bad taste Gelatinous Goo 09-24-2025, 09:18 AM I had a dream the other day that a bunch of previously unknown vintage UM segments were unearthed. It was glorious. Of course, I can't remember any details about the imaginary clips I was watching! Charlie99909 09-24-2025, 10:39 AM not our fault you have bad taste Robert Stack could come back from the dead and some of y’all would say “I liked him in the 1980’s better, this show sucks.” Some miserable ass fans here. Deal with it. Dude111 09-24-2025, 01:04 PM not our fault you have bad tasteMost people do now.... They hae been re-programmed to be docile and easily satisfied!! Street Novelist 09-24-2025, 02:41 PM not our fault you have bad taste :lol: dynoguy88 09-24-2025, 11:30 PM To be honest...i think if they had a new host and ran it like the old show it would get just as much hate as the version they air now. I actually wouldn't mind Steve French or the guy that narrated early Disappeared episodes...but no one is going to compare to Robert Stack and anyone they pick would get roasted. I mentioned it before in the other thread but I always loved 'Disappeared,' and one of the reasons was because they were Unsolved Mysteries-ish in the way they presented their cases. A good narrator who explained interesting stories over actor reenactments combined with interviews of family, friends and investigators. The only major difference was we never saw the narrator. And that was fine. We didn't have to. They could have done that here, and I think it would be just fine. But that's just me. I don't expect anyone to be Robert Stack because nobody could ever fulfill his shoes. But I'd like a narrator. freakbook 09-25-2025, 06:53 AM Robert Stack could come back from the dead and some of y’all would say “I liked him in the 1980’s better, this show sucks.” Some miserable ass fans here. Deal with it. so you'd enjoy UM with a zombie Robert Stack who probably couldn't talk? again, do not push your bad taste on us please Most people do now.... They hae been re-programmed to be docile and easily satisfied!! True Charlie99909 09-25-2025, 01:54 PM Pitch your ideas and air your complaints to Netflix. Come on, get a host. Really make your case to them and show how displeased you are. mtaylor72 09-25-2025, 05:11 PM How about get the show off of Netflix and go back to a major television network with the tried and true format? I remember reading on this board in recent years that having the show on a major TV network wouldn't work in this day and age. OK, then why has America's Most Wanted been back on Fox since 2021? The argument doesn't hold water. Labonte18 09-26-2025, 03:02 PM Look.. What we have is what we have. Deal with it. So far as them asking for ideas.. I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. They went WAY overboard this past season on cases that have zero chance of being solved, at least due to the show. I don't think asking for ideas is a bad thing.. I think many of us think the same way I do about the type of cases. So.. One good way to find out.. ask the viewers what they want to see. Ask if they have cases that they know of that maybe the producers haven't dug up. Again.. I've said this before.. With their limited airtime now, I find it far more important to focus on more recent cases that actually might have a chance at being solved. Tell me when watching the old show when it was airing that you didn't get excited when you heard the 'whoosh' and "UPDATE...".. that's kinda what made the show. The latest season, you had 3 mysteries that had a chance of being solved based on being on UM. The other 6.. Sure, we might definitively figure out who Jack the Ripper was, but.. Not because it was on UM. Then Mothman.. Roswell.. Things that.. yes, the original UM covered either those or similar in the past, but.. They had a weekly show, those segments were limited to about 15 minutes. It was more acceptable then. I may submit this one... It's local to me, I think it could benefit by having a 'national audience' so to speak.. Jason Knapp.. Went missing from Clemson 27 years ago. https://www.foxcarolina.com/2023/04/12/officials-release-age-progression-clemson-student-who-vanished-25-years-ago/ We also have the Blue Ridge Savings Bank murders.. However.. That one.. I think is likely as solved as it can be as it's.. Likely the perp is dead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Ridge_Savings_Bank_murders I had thought when they got Todd Kohlhepp for the Superbike murders in Spartanburg, they'd find out he had done this as well.. but, it seems that's not the case. DALLASTEXAN!! 09-29-2025, 08:23 PM I think they should go with real crime cases that are solvable. and maybe revisit some of their old ones, if able. there are still many unsolved cold cases like Matt Flores and Su Taraskiewicz, tara brekenridge, Sal Guardado, Amy Bechtel. If there is new information to present it might be worth showing. Then there is the amber haggerman case in Texas that they could profile. they would probably have to merge some of these into one episode because some would be difficult to do in their current format. and I also agree with dynoguy that there should be a narrator. Dude111 09-29-2025, 09:46 PM Isnt the Debra one in florida still unsolved? (Mystery Clerk) Labonte18 09-30-2025, 11:09 AM I think they should go with real crime cases that are solvable. and maybe revisit some of their old ones, if able. there are still many unsolved cold cases like Matt Flores and Su Taraskiewicz, tara brekenridge, Sal Guardado, Amy Bechtel.

Not a bad idea on revisiting some of the older unsolved cases. I wouldn't likely want an entire show devoted to one of them, pending on the case. But.. A full hour show of just revisting, providing any new info on cases that they've done before that remain unsolved. Like.. The casino worker who was shot through her window.. MediaHoarder 10-03-2025, 03:13 PM For starters, how about going back to the 1989 format we all know and love, with 3-4 good segments per episode complete with well edited interviews, actual reenactments, and a narrator. And dump the hours of superfluous drone footage, blurry and meaningless reenactments, and long filler interviews where no one actually says anything material to the case. There have been plenty of crimes and disappearances since 2000 that would fit well in this. UM doing Maura Murray would be something to behold. 10 seasons of real show could be made out of the 20 year backlog of cases no issue. I'd also like to see some of the UFO, cryptid, etc. mysteries that have happened since the show last aired, along with maybe a few older ones that never got coverage. The Jumping Man has never been covered as far as I know, and of course the recent UFO carrier videos postdate the last real episodes of the show. Plenty of history mysteries left as well. I don't think the original series ever covered KAL 007 or JFK for example. American Airlines 587 would be a good segment, along with several related to 9/11. infinityluxe 10-03-2025, 03:35 PM The show is horrible and cheapens the brand. They just need to cancel the show and move on. Unsolved Mysteries means a lot to most of us here and the fact they didn't include any elements of the original show tells me it was a money grab. They just wanted to use the name. MediaHoarder 10-03-2025, 03:39 PM The show is horrible and cheapens the brand. They just need to cancel the show and move on.

Its misleading to call the current mess "Unsolved Mysteries" and was clearly just slapping the name on the same shovel content that the rest of the industry was churning out rather than properly restarting the series. The release of the "original episodes" was the same, a money grab releasing a butchered rendition of the original series with a large amount of material missing. I'm always amazed by how many people are duped into thinking those are the original episodes and have no idea. Dude111 10-03-2025, 09:54 PM The show is horrible and cheapens the brand.
