What's the Worst Unsolved Segment Ever? [Archive] - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Or So It Seems

07-15-2002, 07:41 PM

It's hard for me to criticize my favorite show but hey, let's admit it: not every segment sends chills down your spine!

There have been times when it seemed like the producers were at a stretch to come up with something viable and instead only offered us some "filler" material.

Me personally, I don't like the ghost stories too much. Very hard to prove (you rarely get an update), and most aren't really too scary. Which would bring me to my least favorite Unsolved segment:

The house in Florida that supposedly haunted the kid and his teenage bride. You remember it...he was watching tv and all of a sudden his wife "attacked" him in bed. Remember how the parents put salt around the house? I don't think even Robert Stack bought this one, his tone was somewhat humorous, talking about only some snails were exorcised by the salt. Maybe it was run as comic relief, I don't know. But in my opinion it is the all-time worst segment ever run on UM.

What's yours?

I'd have to say the UFO stories and the "Men In Black" story.

i wonder why my grandfather is not on the very first unsolved mystery? ummm if i remember it it was very tramatic!!! ...especially when i blew him in ...........why is he not listed on any of these websites to let other people know it is ok to tell??? just a question/ he was on the very 1st but not the first captured it was someguy from las vegas. it makes me angry that i cant find him anywhere after the horrible crime he committed. not only on poor Elenor but on his grandchildren. ( why is this undercover)? America's most wanted are proud to tell you the first capture. maybe my dad has more money than unsolved mysteries lol

For me, it had to be the woman who claimed to go into trances and. .sweated gold leafs! The whole thing depended on some videotape which[to me] appeared to be badly edited and even her own son refused to fully identify himself when interviewed. That's one time I wish the producers had told them to take their sideshow act elsewhere! :mad:

There are many of these. To me, most (not all, but most) of the LOST LOVES segments are really boring and even in the past when this would come on as the least segment I would just turn off thr program.

There were a few others that were bad too, but I would say most of them revolved around the lost loves guideline.

07-25-2002, 09:58 PM

I would say the story on the Grand Duchess Anastasia. It was a very interesting story and well-produced. I would say it's not among my favorites because of the way it turned out. The woman was a complete fraud. If the tests were available beforehand, they probably could have tested her DNA. I don't know what year the DNA testing was first available.

I always thought that first story mentioned in this thread about "the bride attacking her husband on the bed while they were watching tv" was kinda funny. At one point in the segment, Robert Stack says something like, "Bill had always believed in ghosts, but the rest of the family POO-POOED that idea." Just hearing him say "poo-pooed" makes it all worth it. I couldnt stop laughing!

But anyway, I'm not really a big fan of those ghost stories. I find them kind of hard to believe at times, however it still leaves me hanging, in a sense. All in all, I think every segment have their up and downs.

I can't stand lost love episodes, either, excpet for when they're about missing Vietnam or WWII soldiers. Those are always compelling. And to think that it's been reported that a whopping 2 out of 3 family reunions wind up sour, who needs them! UM also plays that heartwrenching music during the updates that tries to manipulative us into crying.

The only lost love episode I really liked was the one about the Canadian boy Clifford who's been missing for 40+ years. His now-elderly mother thinks the father kidnapped him, but the boy didn't resurface even after the father died. They just played that one about two weeks ago, and I was praying that there would be an update. It broke my heart when I heard those dreaded words by Robert Stack (You know... "If you have any information....").

I'm so happy that the new Lifetime episodes focus more on criminal mysteries and less on paranormal goobley-gook, too (for the same reasons others have mentioned, I don't like them, either).

Or So It Seems

09-12-2002, 10:10 PM

I hate to admit it but I'm a sucker for some of the lost love stories. Not really the parental abduction ones, but the ones where someone who touched someone's life is missing and then found.

I think my favorite is the one from Oklahoma where the 3 brothers and 1 sister were re-united. It was run pretty early in the show's history.

Anyway, this is a cool thread, I hope the people at Unsolved get the message...we want less paranormal and more solveable criminal cases.

09-15-2002, 12:11 PM

The only segments that couldn't really hold my interest were the lost loves.. They did way too many of these. I mean, they were a nice gesture, but not really all that entertaining.. I must admit, I always enjoyed the ghost stories and other unexplained segments.. I was fairly young when the show started, and the first time I saw the story that dealt with the Queen Mary......
As for worst all time story.. it actually wasn't a lost love, but dealt with a little boy sending a message in a bottle.. They traced all the steps and courses the bottle must have taken..yawn..

I'm not big on the "lost treasure" segments and would rather see a true crime case than something about ghosts or ufo's.

Ditto on the treasure stories. I can't remember any of them; they just aren't interesting to me.

11-14-2002, 10:03 PM

For me the worst stories are the ones about ghosts, psychic powers and other paranormal stuff. The lost loves stories are interesting sometimes, but one bad episode for me is a diabolical minds special where they put Saddam Hussein, Hitler and Jeffrey Dahmer under opinion of forensic psychologists. Its rather sensationalist and with a little political side, after all it was made after the Gulf war.

Jennifer Sunflower

11-16-2002, 02:43 AM

I couldn't finish watching the segment where the man was supposedly making it rain indoors. It was so ridiculous unimportant- how is showing viewers this going to enrich their lives any???

Also the chupacabra (sp) was silly, too. I giggled some during it, though. I agree sometimes UM need filler segments and I guess ones like these kill the rest of the hour.

i dont like ones where something like a statue is said to have power and can heal wounded or something, those always bore me. i like the lost love ones just to hear the story of how they got lost. I am actually scared of some of the topics but im addicted sometimes.

I tend to disagree with most of the people who said they don't like the ghost or UFO segments. I think those are clearly the most interesting and fun to watch. I don't mind watching the crime stories. However, I do not like the Lost Loves segments at all. To me, these shouldn't even be included as "unsolved mysteries." One of my favorite episodes is actually the one where the guy becomes possessed and makes it rain everywhere he goes. I thought the whole thing was hilarious. I've never seen anything like it. My other favorites are the Gurdon Light, Resurrection Mary, and the haunted Queen Mary ship.

Jennifer Sunflower

12-20-2002, 04:43 AM

I just felt the rain segment wasn't appropriate for UM. It would've been more fitting for a show like Sightings or Beyond Bizarre. It would be very amusing, though, if there's an update one day explaining how everyone involved was either drunk or flat out lying during his "paranormal" episodes.

I agree that most of these Lost Love cases aren't really true Unsolved Mysteries. It's no mystery: the children were given to foster homes and adopted, what's so mysterious abot that, lol. It's only a mystery if a child is kidnapped, runs away or vanishes into thin air. What became of the child? Are they dead or alive? So many possiblities can come from those three scenarios, but with the adoption segments-which make up 95% of the Lost Loves- you know the kid's safe and sound somewhere. Again, I do like the cases when they're about missing soldiers and such. NBC should have created a spinoff show just for LL cases but they weren't en vogue then. Spinoffs are so popular now, though: 'Homicide', 'CSI', 'Law & Order'. :crazy:

but i loved the UFO stories and unexplained ones

also that Chupacobra segment was interesting to me, but its probably fake

I couldn't finish watching the segment where the man was supposedly making it rain indoors. It was so ridiculous unimportant- how is showing viewers this going to enrich their lives any???

This segment was so preposterous that I am almost at a loss for words to describe it. However, it was saved by the general overacting and the ridiculous methods used to "save" the guy, such as putting a paper bag on his head. Also, this guy was on a prison forlough for a family funeral - how long was that damn forlough? It seemed like he was out for weeks...

I love Lost Loves. Period. I prefer Unexplained Death with the creepy composites, too, but I will never turn off an LL segment. Some of my favorites have included the two African-American childhood friends (they were in the hospital together) who were reunited and the swimmer who saved the athletic young man who broke his neck at the beach.

On a purely superficial note (and I am probably a huge jerk for saying this), but has anyone ever noticed how the actors in the LL segments are exponentially more attractive than their real-life counterparts when they are located?

My least favorites are those damn fertility statues and the segment about the Jesus statue that had its eyes allegedly open up when before they were closed. The fertility statues is quite possibly the worst segment EVER. What's the mystery there? They should have done an update in which Robert Stack explained the birds and the bees to viewers. As for the Jesus statue they did update that and showed a video tape of a mass taken before the alleged "eye opening" and you could clearly see that the eyes were always slightly open. They should have never even wasted their time and money on either of these, IMO.

I have no idea if I'm thinking of the same one or if I saw it on a completely different show, but wasn't that about some restaurant that was supposedly haunted? And I think it might have even been one of those murder-mystery dinner theaters? I seem to remember something like that being particularly terrible.

01-31-2011, 05:33 PM

It has to be the treasure or UFO segments.......however does anyone remember the UFO segment with the family claiming they suffer radiation poisoning? In the segment the "UFO" supposedly burns a big circle or oval in the asphalt....then the asphalt is mysteriously paved over.....did any news reports verify this??

One of the more convincing UFO accounts, imo. At least the woman did have some burns to prove that at least something happened. I tend to believe it was a military craft of some sort. Although, I must say, their account sounds like a hot air balloon. :cool:

It was about a man who was able to start his own restaurant "Such is Life" due to the kindness of a woman that gave him money (he never asked for it, she left it for him in a letter, if I recall correctly). He wanted to find and thank her. I haven't seen the segment in years, but actually would like to.

Oh, ok. Thanks, Wishful. I've never seen that segment. I wonder why it got thrown in the running for Worst Segment Ever--I mean, that sounds really nice, right? What's bad about that? :confused:

It's been posted, but I just wanted to concur I always thought the diabolical minds segment was annoying. Lumping Saddam Hussein in with Jeffrey Dahmer? I mean, I get the man was a gross tyrant who oppressed and murdered his own people, but it doesn't necessarily follow that he's equivalent to a deranged sexually motivated serial killer. :rolleyes:

I haven't seen the segment since I was probably in middle school, so I don't recall whether it really was worthy of "worst episode". I remember it being touching, even if with cheesy reenactments (as it was a later episode). I believe he found her, but I'm not positive.

Yes they reunited. The man is originally from Cozumel and that where he and the teacher met. She gave him the money after he went with her to tour the mayan ruins, most possibly Tulum.

;) in response to your last paragraph the first story I thought of was the swimmer who saved the young man who had broken his neck.

As far as my least favorite segments go here is a list of the ones I'm not too fond of:

-Lost Treasure segments
-Segments that involve 'mysterious healing powers'
-I like the lost love segments for the most part but what I don't like about them is that they got solved so quickly (usually within hours/days of the segment being aired) it was almost pointless to have them on the show. But then again the needed to have something good to balance out the bad...

Now that we have networking sites like facebook and internet searches can turn up almost anything about anyone, a lot of the lost loves segments seem really dated. The only ones that really intrigue me are the ones about Georgia Tann & Ethel Nation, women who took baby from young struggling mothers and sold them to other childless couples. The one about the man in your Avatar stuck with me...probably because it is one of the few that was
never resolved. :(

Any buried treasure segments.

Alcatraz. The first time I saw it was ok, but after they would use it to fill in when a new episode wasn't on that week.

UFO stories.

Psychics.

I'll think of more later :lol:

02-05-2011, 02:31 PM

I actually like the Lost Treasure segments. How can you not find it interesting that some person or people buried millions of dollar in treasure a century ago and it has since never been found, still out there somewhere. That said, they do re-air these segments too much even on the Farina show.

I don't really like the psychic healing ones, the psychic dogs, or the "winding wooden staircase." I also don't like the "evil minds" segment.

02-07-2011, 01:21 AM

One of the worst segments ever, although not because of production but because of the outcome of the case, has to be the Face on Mars. It was well done but it was always seem like reaching and I think they had recent photos on mars that showed that it was just a case of pareidolia and with the better photos you can see that it's just a mountain that doesn't look like a face at all.

I'd pay money to see the most infamous chocolate-as-aphrodisiac segment.

One of the worst segments I've seen recently is the psychic witch in Salem that had joined forces with the police department. In addition to using psychic powers for clues, she also casts spells on voodoo dolls of the suspects.

I always enjoyed the Lost Treasure segments, but never really put much stock in them. With the exception of the Lost Dutchman's Mine, there really never was any concrete hard evidence that a treasure ever actually exsisted.

I always skip the Lost Loves, Treasures, and occasionally the psychics. I watch UM for the missing, murder, unexplained deaths etc. One that sticks out for me as the worst was the statue that made women pregnant, I mean come on. Also the chair that killed people.

Unfortunately, when Lifetime only aired UM on at 2 & 3 in the morning, I would record them on VHS and it seemed like every other episode either featured the choclate aphrodisiac or those stupid fertility statues.

As for worst all time story.. it actually wasn't a lost love, but dealt with a little boy sending a message in a bottle.. They traced all the steps and courses the bottle must have taken..yawn..

Oh goodness, I love that story, I tell that to people all the time whenever I see them tossing bottles into the water and having lived on Lake Ontario for 5 years (where I want to say that bottle was tossed from) I've seen alot of that....its amazing how it made it to California...you'd figure somewhere along the lines during that period somebody would have picked it up or it would have washed ashore.

I agree on alot of the worst ones...the fertility statues is #1 by a mile, the aphrodisiac one is up there too, as well as the rain maker simply because I know its a croc because the one police chief who refused to go on the show or even allow the other officers to file a report because according to him, nothing more than a serious plumbing problem was affecting that residence....that episode looked like a remarkably good effort at getting alot of people in on a story.

... the choclate aphrodisiac or those stupid fertility statues.

YES, THOSE TWO!!! Not "Unsolved Mysteries." The stupid choc. aphrodisiac segment was on Lifetime today, and the fertility statues was on again recently.

With all the other segments from the original show to "remake" for the Dennis Farina version of the show, why did they have to subject us to these two?

I'm not sure, but I'll bet originally, when these aired on NBC, one or both were part of an episode airing close to Valentine's Day. :lol:

I actually liked that one. I remember Robert Stack saying, that "It may not be one of our biggest mysteries, but is one of our most charming." at least it was more in the line of the 'lost loves' segments, meaning that it could be solved. I always hoped the people that wrote back to the boy (from California) would respond to the show. I've always been curious to know if the bottle really travelled all that way. :p corny I know but still a million times better than the chocolate aphrodisiac or fertility statues :lol:

As a lot of the members of this board know from private messages, the chocolate aphrodisiac episode is sort of a Holy Grail for me. Glad to know it was at least remade so I can see it in some capacity!

The original Stack version will remain highly sought, but you really just made my day.

I usually don't dig the ghost stories much but one of my favorites is the "Resurrection Mary" ghost segment. I don't know, theirs something about it since she was actually a real person and so many people over the years have claimed to see her ghost. There are a lot of segments that are pretty bad; the one regarding "Champ" sticks out in my mind.

Chair of Death may be one of the stupidest, least believable stories on UM (where they never even provide any specific names and dates to back up all their stories about so-called chair-related deaths), but admit it: if you went near the Chair of Death, you'd still be reluctant to sit down in it, wouldn't you?

They had one today about a white buffalo calf being born, and how it was some kind of sign. Not sure what it was a sign of, as I fell asleep watching it.

I disagree about Men in Black to an extent, while the story seems a little far fetched, it still had all the hallmarks of a good mysterious story. There are dozens of stories that were much worse than this. I mean come on Rainboy, Missing Time, Tina Reich are amongst the worst.

RobinW

04-01-2011, 10:53 AM

I think the "men in black" segment is a definite contender for Worst Segment Ever. If I called UM every time I saw a guy in a black suit walking down a city street (looking lost in thought and staring into space), they'd arrest me for harassment.

That being said, it's great to watch for giggles alone.

Unfortunately, when you type "Unsolved Mysteries" into the forbidden video site, this is one of the first matches you get. I had been telling a friend all about UM and when she decided to check it out, this was the first segment she ended up watching. You imagine the impression it left. She did think it was amusing, but did not understand why I considered this to be one of the scariest shows of all time.

The fertility statues, the woman who claimed to be healed by a UFO, any lost treasure (the Dutchman's Mine was on last night BTW), missing heirs (except for Pat Mealbach), and ones that deal with people being able to talk to dead people---those are very boring.

Some of the lost loves are OK, like the paralyzed soldier who found the nurse that helped him walk again, Sharon Stevens, who wanted to find the foster couple that cared for her before she was made to return to her abusive father, the big group of kids who were taken away from their parents because the father was abusive and a drunk (all but a few were found at the time of the update), the Hatbox Baby, and I think there was a case of a woman looking for the twin she never had.

Chair of Death and Lizzie Bordens house were B O R I N G to me. Ive never seen a Treasures episode because they dont seem as interesting as the unexplained death or ghost stories

Mothman and magic rock are really bad. My least favorite is the matchmaker ghost.

Rainboy is by far the worst for me. Completely stupid. I also did not like the Lost Love episodes. Its nice that people found their lost loves but it couldn't hold my attention.

The kinky, slutty 15 yr old who had sex with her slow husband. I actually felt bad for him :( she made up ghost stories and killed snails :(

:lol: That has to be the best description of the Lake Wales Haunting I've read yet. She was 16, btw. Not that it's much of a difference. :D

Funny story: I saw Mothman Prophecies before the segment. The movie kept my attention while the segment was just plain awful.

The story of the West End Baptist Church, this segment just gives me a douche chill. All of these religious fanatics believing that God saved them from blowing them up during a choir practice. Their reasons for being late to the choir practice is lame at best.

Really? I am not ashamed to admit that I was actually very moved by that segment. I loved how they all looked for each other and discovered that everybody was alive. The people UM interviewed seemed like good people and did not come across as fanatical at all. Not sure how you got the "fanatic" perception.:confused:

Everything aside, I just think that UM and more specifically the churchgoers were reaching a bit far on this one, that's all.

There was an episode(one of the newer episodes) that was about two girls who took pictures of "Jesus"... That one was kinda lame to me.. I think the name of a girl who died was also in the pic. My memory is kinda off but I remember those details and remember thinking this is lame.

I agree. I do not see this is an example of religious fanaticals at all. I actually liked this segment.

Agreed. My all time favorite UM moment is when the church explodes and the baby looks up and says, "Uh-oh!"

That baby was adorable! :) I also love the part when a couple of the people were just being lazy or listening to the radio. Thank goodness for that.

Seems like I agree with most of you. I couldn't stand the lost loves and history/legends whatever you wanna call'em segments when I was a kid, they were just plain boring to me. I used to enjoy the Paranormal/UFO-stuff but I was young and impressionable I guess :lol:

As of now, I would say most of the ghost/UFO/legends/Lost Loves (although some of them are touching) and of course grade F seggies such as Katie the Gold Foil Woman and the UFO curing a woman with cancer, what were they thinking... O____O

The lady sweating gold leafs. BORING. I also do not like the lost loves, but now days with the internet, that type of story shouldnt have to be on tv again.

The segment in the Woods where all those Schoolgirls were dancing around like idiots claiming they saw God or something. The Sunlight shining through the trees. I think they tried providing photos as well? I can't remember much else about this one. :p
