We have a sweetest people interviewed UM.. how about LEAST sweetest? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

amandab1234 · 06-05-2015, 02:20 AM

I didnt know how else to word it out.. Who came off as a jerk?

Aside from the usual suspects like Chad Noe and Paul Pollis..

I just watched the Jim Boumgarden segment again

(To refresh your memory, this is the man who claims his twin who he had never met was seen everywhere and he was looking for him since they were both adopted)

Anyways, his brother came off as a jerk.. When anyone approached him, he'd give them a dirty look and walk away. Or just leave them hanging if they came up to him and talked to him. The least he couldve done is say "Sorry I think you are mistaken" and walk away. But at least in the reenactment, he never did that.

I'd have to say Ida Pruitt moreso than Chad. She's something of a forum joke around here. Just a rude, snappy old bat.

wiseguy182 · 06-05-2015, 03:44 AM

Well, I think there are numerous similar threads on here, including one I started called "People on UM you tried to like, but just couldn't.", so I'll refrain from duplicating my responses.

I did, however, want to mention one new one I just discovered. Larry Costine's ex-wife. Basically, the sum of her interview was griping about her ex and suggesting he got what was coming to him. She seemed like a cold, heartless you-know-what.

YES! She is one of my most disliked interviewees and came off as a complete witch. So just because Larry pushed in arguments, Jo had to have snapped and committed the murder? I roll my eyes at "in my heart, I believe she is alive and hiding." Yeah, right. She seemed completely not over the divorce and bitter.

Her interview contributed absolutely nothing to the segment. Seriously. She just complained about her (murdered!) ex's behavior and implied that's what got him killed. Classy.

First name that pops into my head is Ida Prewitt. Looks like someone beat me to it!

It's a shame they never interviewed Beverly Noe. I have a feeling she was just as mean.

Jade_Curtiss · 06-06-2015, 02:15 PM

The entire Noe family.

Beyond them...the psycho hitchiker who killed Philip Frasier. His sketches are nuts and the testimony of the cafe workers that dealt with him....ugh.

Joe Nickell, the skeptic from the Spontaneous Human Combustion segment ("the mystery mongers ought to shut up and get a life", "this is crackpottery of the highest order").

John DeSanto, the prosecuting attorney from the Larry Race case. Whether he's right or not, that "not appropriate for Unsolved Mysteries" comment still comes off as extremely condescending.

Id like to add the family of Lady. The collie who ran away & found her way back to them. As a huge animal lover, it bugged me how they didn't care what happened to wolfka the other dog. They were more concerned about lady. They did mention they hoped wolfka found a new family but even that is kinda cold hearted

DALLASTEXAN!! · 06-07-2015, 06:17 PM

The police officer in the Pam ellender case that said he used to feel sorry for her dad.

Yeah. I can see his point, but I don't think you phrase it like that.

I do think the whole satanic cult theory was BS, though. And I don't believe there was a party held at the house after the murders. I do, however, believe there might have been 1 or 2 others there and several more who knew what happened. So, the father was on the right track but took it way too far and came to some absurd conclusions.

I think the whole "satanic" thing was just a way of people back then trying to explain abhorrent behavior. Humans have always tried to make "sense" of tragic events in many different ways. Back then the whole notion that "satan did it" was popular, especially among religious people. Today "terrorism" seems to be a popular explanation.

YES!! That pissed me off no end. They were so overjoyed about Lady and just didn't seem to care about the other dog...and I thought the name they gave the other dog was dumb, too. Hopefully Wolfka found a nice family and didn't get hurt in the forest fire.

Which segment was this? I've never heard of it. Sounds like another one of those silly segments like the fertility statues and the idiot girls dancing in the forest.

It was a little fluff segment, but I guess it brought a lighthearted feel between crime segments.
