Unsolved Mysteries

During the early years of this show, several hosts were used, but Robert Stack became the primary host for around 11 years. His voice and his style were perfect for this show. Back in the late 1980s, Unsolved Mysteries was the only thing like it, and often it seemed to update with the capture of suspected criminals. It was a great show during the Robert Stack era.

Unfortunately, Robert Stack retired and passed away. Dennis Farina took over around 1998, and he always looked out of place, and his style was all wrong, for me. Also, by that time, there were several other shows like Dateline, that were network shows that had bigger budgets, and covered more recent crimes.
