UNSOLVED MISERIES

UNSOLVED MYSTERIES
NBC 1987-1997

UNSOLVED MISERIES
MAD #304, July 1991

Kind of an updated version of In Search Of while also a precursor to true crime podcasts. It started out as a series of specials that were mini-documentaries, then a regular series hosted by Robert Stack. It dealt mostly with paranormal events like UFOs, ghosts and Bigfoot sightings, with the occasional murder coldcase. Each show began with a disclaimer stating they weren't an actual news program, like in the introduction here.
I don't think they knew how prescient their throwaway joke of “Trump University” (which didn't exist yet) would be.
