Significantly less airings of UM

[everybodylovesrs]

looked through the DVR

next airings are Thursday at 3 AM (Spike) and Friday at 5 PM et (Lifetime).

[1990 UM fan]

They should bring back the old Unsolved Mysteries and run the re-runs from 12 pm - 2 pm like it was when I was in high school. I used to get off school early and come home to watch it after "The Nanny" and "The Golden Girls" were over. This was also when it was still on Lifetime.

i wish they still aired the Robert Stack ones


OR PUT THEM OUT ON DVD BY SEASON

Lifetime is bombarding us with Wife Swap reruns and Dance Moms. blah.... I know this is a channel that's supposed to cater to women's interests (and I'm a woman) but ugh, I really dislike most of their programming choices. Except for when they show UM and AMW of course.

I totally agree. Hour after hour of screaming harpies is not what I call entertainment.

It's nice AMW is producing new episodes on Lifetime but how awesome would it to to have both UM and AMW back to back with new episodes! The could call it The Crime Fighters Block or something

For a channel that is supposed to celebrate women I do not understand Lifetime's choice of endless Dance Moms and Wife Swap - women screaming at each other and gossiping about each other is not my idea of entertainment.

Totally agree. I've never even seen Dance Moms, but I watched a couple episodes of Toddlers and Tiaras back when it first came out and I can figure out that this is the same kind of stuff. (Although I do wonder if one of the Dance Moms is actually a Dance Dad in disguise, but I'm not gonna watch just to satisfy that odd curiosity.)

My son likes Finding Bigfoot, but for the comedy not the hunt, so sometimes I watch that with him and we make fun of the ridiculous "bigfoot experts". We do watch Oddities and enjoy that show. They've started following one cast member's dating life and I hope they don't ruin the whole thing with fake drama or scripted screaming matches like so many other programs have done. We used to watch Ghost Hunters until they nearly completly ruined the show with the scripted infighting.

Last year, my daughter was planning her wedding so we watched some of the wedding reality type stuff. I forgot what most of them were called... Say Yes to the Dress and David Tutera's show. But Bridezillas stressed me out. (And when you're planning and paying for a wedding, and marrying your daughter off into a family who doesn't accept her, her race, or religion and is trying sabotage everything they can and boycott the rest, you don't need any fake stress piled on top of the real thing.) Those screaming grown up bratty brides, pitching fits, destroying things, making enemies out of their best friends, annoying everyone around them plus the audience. ugh. There's not enough xanax in the world to make me ever be able to watch one of those kinds of programs again.

Reality TV is just not my thing and it's so popular, it's like you can't get away from it. I'm really glad I have so many good eppies of UM on dvd. I always keep a dvd in the player and I never get tired of watching the Stack episodes.

I wish they aired it in Canada I can't get it anymore. I think I am already running out of You Tube cases to watch too.

It's on Spike in Canada from time to time, maybe 1-2 times a week.

I just had an unexpected surprise....UM was on Lifetime this morning! Of course now we have veered off into Movie of the Week territory......but it was a nice little surprise.

WETV is waaaay over the top with the bride stuff. TLC is getting there....first off, the idea of trying on wedding dresses AT ALL is painful to me. Trying on endless dresses with ten people watching me would be the inner portal of hell to me.

Are they trying to tap into "One must have the most awesome wedding dress that ever awesome'd" to get women all jazzed up?

One good thing....I guess....is Lifetime is airing COld Case Files nowas well. Not as great as UM but hey.....I will accept it.

Only upcoming episodes for next few weeks are on SPIKE at 3 in the morning ET. Just two. None on Lifetime.
