ok, i work from home so i watch "unsolved mysteries" on lifetime every day. yesterday i was watching and thinking that it seems lifetime replays the same small set of episodes over and over. and then, today, they showed the exact same story two days in a row. not the same *episode* in total, just one of the segments. wouldn't you think they could show a wider range of episodes/segments?

grrr.

LOL! Yeah, I've been there. I haven't had Lifetime for awhile, but I am getting it again in June. I also noticed that they love to replay stories over and over again. Meanwhile, there are some cases I understand that are haven't been played in a years, or haven't been shown at all.

I don't want to be too critical of Lifetime...at least they're still running Unsolved Mysteries, but I agree with all of you. They need to add more episodes to the rotation. Many of the cases we see over and over again have already been solved. Wouldn't it make more sense to show cases that still need to be solved?

I've also seen several episodes that contain 2 or 3 segments that are the same type of story (like lost love or wife missing-husband is a suspect). When I watch an UM episode I want to see a variety of stories and that doesn't always happen.
