RochesterRob Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) You know. The show from the 1970's usually seen on Saturday evenings back during the late 1970's. The one hosted by Leonard Nimoy that talked about UFO's, paranormal phenomena, ancient civilizations, Bigfoot, etc. Weird background music. This one will be hosted by Zach Quinto who played Spock in the Abrams Star Trek movies so there is that continuity. I wonder if there is enough new UFO material, new Bigfoot material, ,etc. to make a decent run today? People were hungering to see such topics discussed back then. Is there the same type of demand or will the material seem passe today? Edited July 5, 2018 by RochesterRob 1
KD in CA Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 That was a great show. Good question, not sure it will have the same pull when kids are used to saying "Alexa, does Bigfoot exist?" 1

Yep, that was the only place to go if you wanted discussion on offbeat topics that I previously mentioned. Even if you did not live in the middle of nowhere and had access to a public library back then there really was very little material to check out there.
eball Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Pretty freaking hilarious that they're bringing in new Spock to host the show.

DC Tom Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 The original's available on YouTube, for free last I checked.
Gray Beard Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 There are so many shows like this on so many channels along with YouTube. I hope it does well. I want to like it, but the TV landscape has changed so much in the last decade that the old shtick may not be successful.

Fadingpain Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 The original was a cool show back in the day. I'm afraid the new one will be dumbed down, and they'll have to stretch out the content by repeating snippets before and after breaks, etc.

My theory is Alexa is dating Big Foot and she’s just going to cover for him so no one finds their little love nest. It’s just a theory.... 1
Bad Things Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 I used to love the original show... love that they're having the "new" Spock host it.
row_33 Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 He’s not really dead if we think of a way to remember him...
/dev/null Posted August 5, 2018 Posted August 5, 2018 I caught the first three episodes and wasn't impressed. It's worth a binge but not a tune in next week show Episode 1: Aliens. Of course they have to do aliens. spoiler alert i appreciated how they interviewed the abductee and gave him a polygraph, which he failed I also got a laugh out of the self described chemist who found something in his foot. He thinks its an alien probe, i think he stepped on a nail Episode 2: Superhumans. I got bored with this one after about 15 minutes Episode 3: Monsters of the Deep. They throw a shout out to one of our favorite terrors of sea, the Asian Carp 1
