IT'S OFFICIAL-----The show is gone forever - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hey mark10 and everyone else,

I called the 818 number you gave AND IT IS HORRIBLE NEWS. It seems Lifetime has cancelled the show and is no longer interested. Cosgrove-Meurer has tried to shop it to other networks but NO ONE IS INTERESTED!

I FIND THAT VERY HARD TO BELIEVE SINCE IT IS A VERY INTERESTING SHOW AND I'M SURE SOME NETWORK COULD CARRY IT!!

So, they told me that THEY CONSIDER THE SHOW PERMANENTLY OUT OF PRODUCTION AND THEY WILL NEVER BRING IT BACK!!

WHAT A TRAVESTY!!

Maybe if enough of us call then it would put more pressure on them and they will bring it back!!

IT CAN'T HURT SO EVERYONE CALL 818-843-5600 AND ASK THEM TO BRING THE SHOW BACK WITH A NEW HOST, ANY HOST AS LONG AS THEY HAVE THE SHOW BACK WITH NEW EPISODES!!

Mijada · 10-01-2003, 07:22 PM

NO, because there are always new mysteries and unexplained events that occur.

Unlike a sitcom, this is truly show that could run forever since it is based on true stories, not a script.

This is so sad. I don't understand why Lifetime doesn't want to do any more. It seems like it's a popular show--popular enough to bring back on in the evening.

rerungirl · 10-02-2003, 07:03 PM

There are so many interesting cases that could be profiled on this show. It's just a shame that no other network is interested in picking it up and developing new episodes. I think if they found another solid host and promotted it right, it could garner decent ratings. I'm just really disappointed that we've seen the last of any new episodes (or any new segments for that matter).

crystaldawn · 10-02-2003, 07:15 PM

I'm a little confused. Did they mean they aren't going to make any more new ones or they're going to stop airing the reruns as well? It would be nice if they could make some new ones, but I'm glad they are still airing the old ones and hope they still will.

They will probably keep showing repeats for the rest of the year and maybe till next spring. But come next summer when the new season of Unsolved Mysteries SHOULD'VE STARTED they will probably be pulled from the air AND THERE WILL NEVER BE UNSOLVED MYSTERIES ON TV AGAIN.

So, while we still have a chance to save it when it is on YOU ALL SHOULD CALL COSGROVE AND TELL THEM YOU AND ALL YOUR FRIEDNS AND FAMILY LOVE THE SHOW AND PLEASE KEEP IT ON THE AIR WITH ANY OTHER HOST SINCE THERE WILL ALWAYS BE NEW MYSTERIES AND UNEXPLAINED OCCURENCES, ETC.!!!

Again the number is 818-843-5600

EVERYONE PLEASE CALL!!

THANKS A LOT!!

If you know the address for Cosgrove/Meurer Productions, it's extremely important that you write to them. When it comes to methods of communication, physical letters should always come first since they carry far more weight than phone calls. It's physical proof that you made the effort to contact them, while it is very easy to pretend (or forget) that a phone call never took place.

At some point, I will post a list of helpful hints in the cause to persuade the studio to reactivate UM, so stay tuned.

The address for Cosgrove is on another thread by Mark10 I think. Thanks for your help Kane and please let us know the results of your research to help keep the show on.

I still say the Sci-Fi channel should give it a try.

Ninjaman · 10-03-2003, 09:08 PM

I'm not sure that I trust the sci fi channel due to the fact that they got rid of Quantum Leap, another one of my favorite shows. You never know, though. Chances are that Sci Fi would want to focus on episodes of UM that have a lot of unexplained segments. A lot of episodes wouldn't be shown.

Brent88 · 10-03-2003, 10:30 PM

Yep, I don't see Sci-Fi as a good choice either. I was thinking more along the lines of A&E airing it...

CrushedVelvet · 10-04-2003, 10:54 AM

The only reason I suggested Sci-Fi is b/c it picked up John Edwards show awhil back and he isnt the same as Star Trek....there is also that channel that plays the miracles show hosted by John Boy Walton, cant think of the name, PBS maybe? Just grasping at straws here, folks

rerungirl · 10-04-2003, 12:25 PM

I'm sorry, I don't know how to post a previous quote here (not too smart when it comes to computers) but I think the channel CrushedVelvet is referring to is PAX. They run that John Boy Walton miracles show and also a program with Jerry Orbach that deals with the unexplained. To my understanding, PAX is a very family-oriented network and I think Unsolved Mysteries would fit into their line-up just fine. After all, several UM segments have had religious themes, and just think of all the heartwarming lost love cases they have shown over the years. Do you think it is too early to write to PAX and suggest they pick up UM? I know Lifetime is airing it now, but from what I've been reading on this board that won't be the the case much longer.
