Sick Product of a Sick System

Let's be realistic.

Fresh and Exciting

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

In Search of is the best show! Yeh, I know there are a few goofs and inaccuracies, but this show is so well done and Leonard Nimoy did just an excellent job as the narrator. He even wrote two episodes: Great Lovers and Vincent Van Gogh. The latter is very poignant too. Several episodes are very educational and informative. Pyramid Films sold them for educational purposes to schools. They are still useful today! As for the dvds, I have little hope they will ever be released. Universal Studios is sitting on a gold mine, but they don't seem to realize this. Even if we were blessed with a DVD release, they would probably only release one season, like they did with Night Gallery. In Search of deserves better! They deserve uncut, season sets with extras. Come on Universal! That's my rant. Bodger1

This was on A&E for a while then ran its course. I did not mind it some of the shows were spookie, but most were just weird. The conclusion, and answers really stretch logic. I know it makes for good TV, but bad for real life. As a kid I loved the show. Now as an adult I find In Search of weak. Monsters, ghost and UFO's were given too much leeway. I be a hard hitt questions were needed. I found a few of the shows could be true, then others were weird. The missing POW, and life after death were interesting. Over the years I bet it will come back on re runs. Does anyone know if the show is showen in Canada? They had a show about outerspace and the future with the shuttle how dated. Space kids or some 70's things. When did the show go off the air 81? Was there talk about making a new show? I gotta go see ya

This show is without a doubt a true classic that has stood the test of time. Even though it first aired a quarter of a century ago it has not aged a bit and there is not a documentary series since that could top it. I'm glad it is still in syndication and that future generations can appreciate its greatness as well. No one else could have done a better job hosting a series like this then Leonard Nimoy. He brought intensity, style and an air of mystery like no other. Everything about this wonderful show was first rate from the crisp narration to the spooky music. Weather we were hunting for Jack the Ripper, Bigfoot or whatever happened to Amelia Earhart, you always knew you were in for a great ride! I remember as a kid there was one episode that terrified me. It was about haunted England and there was one scene where it reenacted a ghost story about a young woman who was frightned to death by a ghost that appeared at the foot of her bed. I lost a lot of sleep over that one.

I first saw "In Search Of" about 6 years ago and instantly fell in love with it. I am an avid fan of the supernatural and especially love documentaries concerning it. Out-of-date, but a must see for paranormal junkies.My Grade: B+
