Should Unsolved Make a Missing or Lost Loves DVD - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

unsolvedfan4life · 02-02-2005, 10:34 PM

Would anyone here be interested if they released a DVD full of Missing Person Cases or Lost Loves. I think there are a lot of good missing person cases :
Hue Harlen, Gordon Paige, AJ Breux, Dan Wilson, and a couple that are slipping my mind. Maybe they could make a box set half Missing and half Lost Loves. Just an idea. I love the lost loves in the early years. The reuions were pretty funny the styles of clothes, and there was always someone with a mullet.

Thoughts anyone?

The Missing Cases would be a quite good set, Lost Loves though I wouldn't be interested in much.

oldtymehardcore · 02-03-2005, 05:32 AM

I'd definitely be interested. A guy I knew was in one episode. His name is Justin Burgwinkel and he went AWOL from the Army about 10 years ago and then apparently disappeared. Anybody with any info please contact me, or if you know how to get a copy of that episode, I'd like one.

I would for sure be interested in a UM Missing Persons and Lost Loves dvd sets those are some my favorite segements to watch.

Missing - Definitely
Lost Loves - No thanks

Missing and Lost Loves, I would buy them both.

scotterguy911 · 02-03-2005, 06:55 PM

Yes, I said when they first announced the box sets, that they should do one on disappearances ... it's just not complete without them ... they could have included the Amelia Earhart and Flight 19 stories (luckily on the Legends DVD). Nobody is interested in Lost Loves (no offense)... they are just boring stories .. always were.

I would definitely buy the missing persons set. I'm hoping they put one out. I wouldn't be interested in lost loves at all. I always flip through those on the tivo. I wish they would just do one specifically on wanted criminals

Missing, hell yes, this would be both entertaining and beneficial if they were to lead to finding some

However, I have no interest at all in the Love Loves, I turn the VCR on pause whenever they come on and alot of the time I'll change the channel for 10 minutes because they're so boring. Seeing rednecks get reunited with eachother is as boring as watching paint dry

Chris Billings · 02-04-2005, 07:04 PM

Yeah, the lost loves segments are a bit too maudlin for my taste.

BTW Does anyone agree those segments were aimed at females? Im not sexist, but I think UM was trying to pull in the girl market with those eps.

Im hoping they come out with a missing set. These are by far my favorite segments. I think that not only would they be great to have, but with the re-release of these stories of missing people going into so many homes, theres a possibility that a few could be solved. Who knows!
As for lost loves, these are my least favorite segments. They dont interest me in the least.

DarkDante · 02-06-2005, 07:08 PM

is sales obviously - thats why to many of our chargrin - we did not get "Season themed" box sets but "Topic themed" instead. For example the whole "UFO" phenomenon appeals to a broad scope of people (Do aliens exist or not?) and by packing all those episodes together on a multi disc set they were more than sure to secure a number of purchases from that sector.

"Lost Loves" seems to be a popular segment (although for some reason not among readers of this board) so I think a "Lost Loves" set will likely be imminent. I'd like to see more of the "Murders/Unexplained Deaths/Wanted" sets and possibly a "Missing Persons" set although there is a possiblity that UM have to again contact the families to get their approval before their cases are included in a box set. Although I'm sure the families initally signed wavers there are two things to consider as to why some murders/missing persons segments may never go the "Dvd route"

1) Sometimes families just want to move on after a tragedy such as a murder or a disappearace of a loved one. Yes I know we are all big fans of these type of stories (myself included!) but to the families involved these are very real and tramatic events - Sometimes after awhile they just want to move on with their lifes and put the "incident" (for lack of a better term) in the past. However on the flip side of the coin I'm sure many families whose cases have not been solved would want as much publicity as possible so the case is eventually solved. Even some families whose cases have been solved might want their case included so people become aware of the circumstances surrounding a murder just for information purposes

2) Some families could possibly be VERY STRONGLY OPPOSED to a company making cash off of their tragedy. This is very understandable and nothing more needs to be said at least on my part about this point

Though I wonder if any cases will be solved via the "Bizarre Murders" dvd - I guess the bottom line is still sales so if we all purchase copies of the "Bizarre Murders" dvd I'm sure there will be volume 2, 3 etc. It obvious that this genre of case is the one that is most abundent with only the "Lost Loves" segments rivaling it in numeric values.

Later.

For a show like UM, topic-themed DVD sets are more efficient than the season-by-season ones. Each season of the show had so many segments that putting together a season-by-season set would be too time consuming. Therefore, my guess is that there will likely never be any season-by-season UM DVDs.

good point, i wonder if First Look had the contact the families of the murder victems on Bizarre Murders and ask for permission. Or maybe the families gave up the rights to the story when it was aired and UM had the rights already. hmmm

CrushedVelvet · 02-08-2005, 03:00 PM

Id love for them to do a missing persons one. The lost loves in all honesty, no interest in that. Im not being mean, many episdoes have brought me to tears, but the creepy music and creepy way Stack spoke reeled in an audience that wants more of the dark side of mysteries (or so it seems to me).
