anybody remember in search of

[UnderdogDJLSW]

I used to watch this in syndication all of the time in the 70's. A friend of mine has a cute story back in the 80's when he was at the movies, the trailer came on for Star Trek III. He jokes to the guy next to him saying "watch they'll call this one 'In Search of Spock'" making a pun about this show only to find out a minute later it was indeed "The Search for Spock."

Well How accurate can some of this stuff really be? But until someone produces an Alien or catches Bigfoot itsnt it all speculation?

In Search Of...was a great show. I even liked the non-supernatural stuff like Amelia Earhart.

That's more along the lines of what I meant as being out of date. Taking Johnny's example of Amelia Earhart; there has been so much more study and new information since the 70's that you aren't getting all the info when you watch something old like this.
Still ok to watch but newer shows have the most up to date data.
It would be like watching an episode based on the Titanic 10 years before it was even discovered. How much more do we know about the Titanic now? Would they make a movie like Raise The Titanic today knowing she sits in pieces on the ocean floor instead of all in one piece with a gash in the side?

I loved this series, too! Nemoy had a great voice to narrate it.

I remember that show !! It was Sightings !!!!!!! That actually started on Fox in 91/92 then shifted to Sci Fi in 94. Google it man, or look on the IMDB. There was a hoax sometime in the 90s that the show was invovled in that lead to its Demise, I think it was the 96 Washington ST. Alien body hoax.

I loved the show. It was very interesting and entertaining. Nimoy's 1970s fashions are now probably scarier than anything the program dealt with.

In the 70's, channel 10 showed In Search Of, Star Trek and Space:1999 all together on weekends, it was must see TV for me.

It was on in the afternoons over here,so if i never had school i would never miss it.

watched the episodes on jim jones,bigfoot and life after death on youtube. i'm starting to like this show

[kryptosmaster]

I don't know if I just dreamt it because of this recent thread or if it was real but I fell asleep with the tv on the other night and woke up in the middle of the night and I SWEAR I heard Leonard Nimoy narrating something like an In Search Of show but I was a little groggy and probably just switched off the tv and went back to sleep. Have no idea what channel I had on. Maybe History, maybe Sci-Fi.

after watching more episodes including moon madness, dead sea scrolls, shark worshippers,db cooper,ufos, michael rockerfella, i'm hooked.

I remember it although I only really watched the Bigfoot episode for sure. I didn't know who Spock was back then so I had no idea who the narrator was but he had a great voice. I bet that man can sing!
