I saw the Spike commercial for UM! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm not joking. Last night, I was watching a rerun of CSI: NY on Spike, and later in that broadcast they showed a commerical for UM! The commercial showed (and mentioned) Dennis Farina and some photos from a few old segments, such as Kurt Cobain and Tupac Shakur.

Sometimes one has to watch a considerable amount of television just to see a commercial that you are anticipating. I watched Spike whenever possible in the hopes that I would see a commercial for UM. But when I finally did see the commercial, I wasn't as prepared as I thought I would be. The reality of it just hasn't completely sunk in yet.

That's awesome!!

Makes it more real that the show will be on before we know it!

22 days and counting!!!

YIPEEEEEE!

22 days lol. I can't wait either. I hope I'm not over critical of the show because we all love the original so much. I'm not a spike guy so I will need to tune in to look for these commercials.

That's why you gotta get a DVR Kane! That way you can watch it and re-watch it then post it for all of us to see!

Well, I would have to get myself an account, since I currently don't have one. But in the meantime, for those of you who watch Spike TV, please be on the lookout for those UM commericals.

Anyway, I saw another commerical last night. This one was different from the one I viewed the other night. This one featured a glimpse of the Henry Rollins interview and of an Elvis segment (specifically, the 1997 segment which explored whether or not Elvis Presley committed suicide).

Just saw one myself... likely the 2nd one you watched.

I do have a DVR and I paused it and am going to show my little brother (who also happens to be one of my roommates) the commercial when he gets home shortly.. that's how excited it made me

It started with Elvis and from there showed glimpses of The Kurt Cobain segment, the Rollins interview, a Big Foot clip and a UFO mention.

It also had what I assume will be the new theme music in the back ground... while it's definitely not the classic theme we all know and love, this new music sounds like it has potential. The start of the commercial even sounded a little bit like a 'retooled' version of the classic theme for a brief moment.

Can't wait!

Let's see...Tupac, Kurt Cobain, Elvis and a UFO sighting.

Am I the only one anticipating this incarnation is going to suck?

colt45allstar · 09-23-2008, 09:28 PM

I bet there will be plenty of the older classic segments as well... at least I hope so.

Honestly, my hopes are not high for this but perhaps we will be pleasantly surprised.

although UM is the show that just wouldn't die, it's gotten worse with every incarnation, which makes me think the new UM is going to be pretty awful. There's hardly any current shows that I can stand to watch.

But on the good side, it's going to reach a somewhat different audience, so there's hope some of these cases can get solved.

Yup, that was one of the commercials I saw. That would definitely be the second one. I waited to see if you or anyone who had seen that segment would acknowledge it along with any of the details that I didn't mention, including the clip of Big Foot. This helped confirm that you saw the same commercial that I had seen.

I keep missing the commercials since they should a glimpse from the Henry Rollins interview maybe they the new UM will do a new segment on the West Memphis Three. Henry and others are still looking into the case. But recently the West Memphis Three were denied a new trial.

PrettyinPink55 · 09-25-2008, 12:20 AM

I don't think it's quite hit me yet, and probably won't until October 13th!!!! I can't wait!!!

I hope they don't just show the "popular cases," (Big Foot, Kurt Cobain, UFOs) and give equal attention to all of them...like the more obscure crime cases.

I haven't seen the commercial on Spike but I hope the new UM doesn't tank.

I just hope the atmosphere is true to the original show.
