Learning About Old Mystery TV Shows

By Christa Jarvis


Many years ago people could not wait to turn on their television sets on a Saturday night. This is when there were quite a few old mystery tv shows over the airwaves. Anyone could sit back and relax while tuning into these old time favorites which still can generate an audience. Viewers did not have to worry about seeing sex or violence while viewing any of these unique programs.

Miss Marple was one cool character who could be seen every Saturday night on a Public Broadcasting Station within America. Agatha Christie struck pure gold when she created this versatile character who could always solve any crime which happened. Everyone around knew that Joan Hickson portrayed this lovable and energetic older woman.

When Ms. Hickson passed away her role was handed over to another woman who was a few years younger. The younger actress could not really play the part as well as Joan. Even though this change was made the series went on for a bit of time and the viewers still watched. Miss Marple was always lucky to have the chief inspector helping her out with crime cases.

Human beings enjoy watching shows which focused on true life events that could happen to anyone. This is why NBC came up with a series titled "Unsolved Mysteries." Each week they were invited to solve a certain crime which happened across America. Sometimes the cases were very simple but many of them seemed to be very complicated for the police. For years Robert Stack had played on a show called "The Untouchables" and he seemed like the perfect host for this event.

"Scooby-Doo" is a well known American cartoon character who enjoyed solving crimes each and every week. Fred, Velma, Shaggy and Daphne accompanied Scooby on his weekly missions. The villains within this series never tried to kill Scooby and his crew which was very unusual. This particular show tried to be light hearted and the producers did not want to frighten young children who were viewing the show. Fortunately this was one cartoon show which lasted for many years and it had a variety of spin-offs.

"Josie And The Pussycats" were always ready to sing a great tune while they were chasing after criminals. The series focused on a different crime each week and the viewers found each character fascinating. Josie was the lead singer in this all girl group and she was truly a nice person. Unfortunately Alexandra Cabot was jealous of her and she did not like the relationship which Josie and Alan shared. Valerie also proved to be a unique character since she was the real brain of the group.

"The X-Files" was a completely offbeat series which focused on supernatural events that were happening within a small crazy town. The agents on this series would try their best to investigate these happenings and sometimes the villains were actual demons.

FOX Television was lucky to have this hit series over the airwaves. It was also quite interesting that the lead male character became obsessed with dirty movies while his female counterpart was really uptight. All of the people living in America had the chance to learn about ghostly events while this show was on.
