I agree with your statement that the UM shows died when Farina did them. But I doubt he had much control over UM's past and its new show format. However when he died a part of UM died with him because he joined another famous host, Robert Stack, who also died. Now I know Stack was way better, but I truly appreciate Farina taking the time to do the re-runs.
I just wish Farina would have done new segments instead of always the old ones. Even though I do not know, I bet he had no control over whether new segments or only old ones could play.
I do get a big nostalgic when I see Farinas shows on a Saturday morning or a marathon on say Wednesday night on Lifetime. I just wish LT would announce their marathon a week in advance!
Do you remember when UM was going to come back and they said James Earl Jones (Darth Vader) was rumored to be host of new UM? That would be awesome with his creepy voice, unless its just reruns that it don't matter the voice of the host.

For me, a little of the magic died with the 'new' episodes with Dennis Farina being made. Almost everything about it bugs me and I still find myself angrily skipping past it when it's shown on tv here in Ireland.  |
