Watching 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.

Cartoon fans enjoy watching the big dumb dog named "Scooby-Doo." He became an instant hit during the 1970's and many pet owners decided to give their dog this particular name. Scooby was assisted by four humans while the program was playing on television. Fred was the handsome blonde leader of this group and he was a true hippie. Daphne was a pretty woman with red hair and on later shows she became the group's electronics genius. Shaggy was a scary skinny character that would always look for a hiding place while Velma was a fat smart girl.

The producers decided to use real life singers for the voices of Josie, Valerie and Melody on a series called "Josie And The Pussycats." All three of these girls were very pretty and they were also detectives. The viewers were treated to their singing talents on each episode and some of the recordings became big hits. One character named Alexandra is featured more on the television series than she is within the comic books. Alexandra also had magical powers in the earlier comic magazines.

Fox Mulder and Dana Scully spent most of their nights investigating monsters and other horrible creatures on "The X-Files." This dynamic duo battled many violent and hideous demons who were residing within a small suburban community. Anyone watching the series was always in for a complete and unexpected shock.

Broadcasting stations all around wanted to syndicate this show after it had ended. Many producers in Hollywood created movies about the paranormal after "The X-Files" went off the airwaves. The series also had several movies based upon these unique characters and their unusual job.
