Petition to get Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hi y'all.

Do you think it could be done? Maybe if we mass-mail the UM creators, or Lifetime? It would be so amazing!

That would be amazing! There's a lot of shows that haven't made it to DVD on Netflix, hmmm.

I'm sure that Netflix would have the final say on whether to include UM on their web site. Therefore, contacting Netflix would make more sense.

I don't even use Netflix or know how to. I'd rather have it on the popular video site or full seasons on DVD.

That’s funny cause as soon as I had access to Netflix (my friend lets me use his login) I searched for UM! I would def love to be part of the “Get UM on Netflix” movement lol

Hopefully on the Canadian Netflix, too! I would honestly watch if it was made available.

In a couple weeks, I"m getting rid of cable ($160/mo for 2 tvs and internet! I need to save money) and getting netflix. I'm gonna miss seeing The Walking Dead but it would be great if CM would put UM on Netflix! I never get tired of watching UM eppies.

So how do we go about this? Does anyone know who we contact to try and get UM on netflix or for them to release more Dvds? There's still interest COSGROVE/MEURER PRODCUTIONS!!!

As I suggested earlier, contacting Netflix is the best bet, as they would have the final say on whether to include UM. I would strongly advise sending them snail mail, because physical letters have more influence than emails.

Write to:

Netflix Inc.
100 Winchester Circle
Los Gatos, CA 95032

As for releasing more UM DVDs, a distributor - not CM - can make that decision. For that reason, you'll have to write to prospective distributors about it.

It would be great to see some of the episodes online and in decent quality when all we have been able to see is whatever we watched when the episodes aired and/or VHS quality materials.

With how the previous DVD releases fared, I would guess you would have more luck getting them online as I can't see what distributor would touch them since they need to make their money back + profit on production runs - although if they would do the sensible thing and release the actual seasons of UM instead of compilations sorted by subject matter they would have a whole lot more success.

I just spoke to a guy at Netflix customer service, and he said they are looking into getting UM on netflix!

Here's how you can contribute (if you have netflix)

Go to https://contactus.netflix.com/Help at the bottom go to LIVE CHAT, simply tell the person how much you love UM and want it on Netflix.

While it's encouraging to hea that netflix is looking into getting UM on their site, I have no doubt (if it does happen) that it will be the Farina version.

I doubt it will. Just because someone says "Thanks for the suggestion" doesn't mean they're actually going to look into it, and if so, accomplish anything.

Hasho · 05-01-2013, 08:00 PM

Well, they didn't actually say "thanks for the suggestion", but they said we are already looking into it.

If they got UM on Netflix (Stack, not Farina version), I'd totally pee my pants. They have all of those ID shows, why not UM?
