Greetings,

This doesn't really have anything to do with Unsolved Mysteries but I was just wondering if anyone remembers a show on A & E called 'InSearch Of'.

The show ran on A & E in the early to mid-90s and tackled world mysteries like The Great Pyramid and the like. 'In Search Of' ran mainly in the mornings. I've watched it a few times and found it interesting and informative. I liked their theme music too.

Anyone remember?

I think Allen Landsburg hosted it....I could be wrong, though.

Cheers

It was Mr. Spock himself (Leonard Nimoy) who hosted this show. It originated on NBC, waaaay back in the days.

greatgarrett2 · 08-21-2006, 11:00 PM

I didn't know NBC had it before A & E.....great show!

How long ago was that?

Ireneparalegal · 08-21-2006, 11:06 PM

In the 70's. It would come on right before "Emergency" on Saturdays.

I LOVED "In Search Of..."! The 70s sythesizer music was so freaky and Leonard Nimoy's voice just the right amount of creepy. My brother and I used to watch it on A&E late at night when we were kids. I especially loved the Bigfoot episodes with the bad reinactments, sound recordings of Bigfoot, and that wacky "anthropologist" who would examine Bigfoot prints.

That show would spook me out too...and this was watching it at 7:30 pm on Saturdays. I really believed a lot of those things. There is one that sticks out in my mind, the episode abt people who "dreamt" abt planes crashing and they tried to call the FAA and "warn" them abt an impending plane crash...no one would listen, and then BOOM, an airliner would crash. One man was so disturbed at the fact that he dreamt many times abt a plane with a certain number and no one listened to him...until it was too late.

I've tried searching for 'In Search Of' on the Net but can't seem to find it....It's very hard to find info on the show, I've tried the A & E and NBC websites too.

I think 'In Search Of' did a story on the Nazca Plateau, who could've built it, although I'm not sure.

I used to like the ancient mysteries the show presented.

I loved the original In Search Of...

My favorite episode of all time was the Amelia Earhart one.
Soooo creepy!

greatgarrett2 · 08-23-2006, 10:20 PM

Yeah, we used to watch some good 'In Search of' segments in middle school.

with the horrible graphics, those black and white pictures and that depressing red background, as well as the SAME stories over again, ie, Bigfoot, Lochness, Bermuda Triangle, and Ameilia Earhardt, its a wonder why so many kids were nerds in the 70s. Thank god that show disappeared!

Wow, Irene! I had no idea there were that many episodes. I forgot about the "Wild Children" epi! They used to show that one on A&E a lot. Two episodes I am now dying to see: "Psychic Sea Hunt" and "Lovers / Possession / Robot". Ha!!

I remember that one. It was titled 'Air Disaster Predictions', I believe. The crash he was dreaming of was AA Flight 191 which crashed just after takeoff from Chicago O'Hare on 25 May 1979 - the worst single aircraft crash in US history.

I have a copy of one of the In Search Of tapes - a story that I have reseached extensively was the subject out of several on that particular night. I didn't know that I was going to be put out there with a lot of weird stuff. That is not how the production company presented it to me - I was very disappointed and didn't want to do any more documentaries after that...but I did do a couple more with the promise that my story would not be portrayed in that manner again.

omg65 · 12-27-2006, 02:50 PM

I have the complete first season of In Search Of... converted from 16MM films and not the History Channel showings.Generally 8.5 out of 10 in video quality.
