What cases are you sick of? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

JimmyHendricks · 03-15-2005, 01:37 AM

I'm sure this has been done before, but what the heck. With Lifetime back to showing the newer, more boring episodes, how about a list of "Cases I never want to see again?"

Now, I apologize to anyone directly involved in these cases. I have nothing against them personally, it's just that I'm sick of seeing them three times a month.

Feel free to comment or definitely add to this list.

The cloning of Dolly the sheep
Chupacabras
The couple who found a pile of money in their backyard
Goo Rain
Gurden Light
Bee stings curing paralysis
Elvis' twin
The Caddy Saurus of Cadburro(sp?) Bay
Who Killed Superman?
Heidi Wyrick/Mr. Gordy
Albert DeSalvo/Boston Strangler
Greg Webb murders Anna Anton
Ira Einhorn kills Holly Maddux
Spontaneous Human Combustion
Any story about a psychic reading (James Van Praagh, George Anderson)
Chocolates that are aphrodiasics
African fertility statues
Edward Harold Bell kills Larry Dickens
The Cokeville Wyoming school bombing/miracle
Jay Durham gets hit by a semi while riding his motorcycle
Gilbert Ortiz drinks a toxic milkshake

And the 3 that I personally NEVER want to see again....

Resurrection Mary
The Beatrice, Nebraska exploding church miracle
"Dr." Michael Swango kills his patients

You pretty much hit the nail on the head there, chief.

Two I would add to your list though:

The story about the striper who was found murdered in her apartment. The murder was reported by a call to 911, and the police could not ascertain whether the caller was the killer, or a bystander.

The story about the cab driver who was forced to rob a bank with a fake bomb by a man wearing a turban.

Oh yeah, I'm sick of that one too. That had some terrible acting. I mean, most of the segments aren't Oscar quality, but when he opened his coat and deadpanned, "Look what they've done to me." My eyes rolled COMPLETELY into the back of my head.

Another one I'm sick of (even though it's incredibly sad) is the Annie Laurie Herrin kidnapping. She was the wife of the man who ran the "School Pictures" business, and the husband had to mail out checks to former employees as ransom. A sad story, but there's either the whole segment or an update on it at least twice a month.

I absolutely refuse to watch this segment. Hearing Robert Stack talk about sex is like hearing your grandfather talk about sex.

No offence to those who have been reunited with a loved ones, but the aura of Unsolved Mysteries revolves around, Bizarre Murders, Legends, Ghosts, UFO's, Dissapearances....etc.

I feel that lost loves is not part of it, because its not part of the show's creepiness. The only acception to this should be updates of missing people cases, but I really just change the channel when its someone who wants to meet up with their "high school sweetheart" or a "baby's dad."
