Woo Hoo! Having UM withdrawal.

Hmm I wonder why both my television guide and the schedule on spike.com isn't showing all these Unsolved Mysteries.

It's showing CSI all next week in those time slots?!?

I really hope it's coming back on next week... but we will see.

I do see the first two episodes listed and the one at 1 PM on Saturday (though it appears to be a replay of one of the two segments)

The others don't seem to be listed... hmm

edit:

I got this same email awhile back... hopefully it's still accurate.. although it's not looking too promising.

I'll be very upset if it's not on again this week after all the hype that it will be on. Spike is becoming much much worse than lifetime. I don't see the reasoning behind airing hours and hours of CSI where each episode is exactly like the last and the acting is horrible. However...one ray of hope is....For Friday night, spikes schedule said um was on at 1 am and 2 am, HOWEVER, UM actually started at 2 am, so hopefully these are all glitches

Well I have TIVO and according to it, there are NO Unsolved Mysteries episodes coming up. :-(

No clue whats going on. I too got that email about all the episodes coming up. But nope, I checked last night and none coming up in the next 2 weeks.

tygre · 11-30-2008, 11:45 PM

My guess at this point is we'll see it again after Christmas. I have no idea why they run umpteen episodes of CSI every day -- I can't stand to watch that show, myself, but that's more due to experience in the field and grimacing every time David Caruso opens his mouth than anything else.

I've never seen a network change its schedule as much as Spike seems to, either. I don't watch a hige amount of broadcast TV, but it seems strange and potentially expensive to change it as often as they have recently.

unsolvedmysteriesfan · 12-01-2008, 05:15 AM

I think Spike pulled it permanently. Probably got disastrous ratings. Maybe there is some way Unsolved can tell them to go to hell and go find someone else to carry the show, but we've probably seen the last of the show.

Sorry UM, I supported you.

robbieasbury · 12-01-2008, 06:27 AM

Maybe their re-tooling the show since it's not on. I too got Cosgrove and Meurer's newsletter e mail saying it was going to be back on. I hope it will be back.

crystaldawn · 12-01-2008, 02:21 PM

I don't understand. Those of us on their mailing list all got an email saying it would be back on this week, airing several times a day. It isn't on and isn't even listed as being on this week at the tv listings on Spike. You'd think the channel that owns it and is airing it would at least know when its going to be on.

How long did UM last on Spike TV?

It started airing in mid-October. I don't think they're done airing it for good. I believe they bought the rights to air it for 5 years so it wouldn't make sense to spend that money to only air it for 6 weeks. I have no idea why they haven't aired it in a few weeks though.

sdb4884 · 12-01-2008, 09:14 PM

What a load of crap. Well if we are going to wait this long for it they better make some big changes to the show!

Maybe they will air it as a web-only show??? Or just sporadically?

If they had 175 episodes, it seems they'd show them some of the time, even at 2 a.m. instead of yet another Sham-Wow infomercial.

You're kidding, right? They don't even have a prominent spot for the show on their website, and they've done ZERO promotion for it. They have shown an absolute lack of faith in the show.

Yea, agree with the above.....They have done NOOOOOO Marketing whatsoever!!! the only time I have ever seen them mention UM when it wasn't on, is when they were talking about "Thanksgiving Marathon" which included UM< which NEVER happened. This show had such a long run and was such a hit because it was a GREAT show with great material. Obviously this show would do great on spike, the only problem is NO ONE KNOWS THAT IT'S BACK ON TV. Stop showing CSI, take some of the money you have made off of the adspace on that horrible show, and show some commercials for UM. Not that difficult, even if I weren't a marketing major.
