Old Mystery TV Shows Are Interesting

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.

The fabulous older woman named Miss Marple could always be seen on certain PBS stations across America. This is a character which was created by the late great Agatha Christie. Joan Hickson was one good actress who portrayed this icon for many years.

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.

People who were interested in real life cases often tuned into the television series "Unsolved Mysteries" which ran on NBC for a period of time. Robert Stack was the good looking actor who hosted this spectacular event and he would inform everyone about the latest crimes that were happening. The show even helped the police capture real life criminals who were still on the run. At times Mr. Stack's daughter would help him co-host this special television series.

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.

"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.

This became an instant hit television show for FOX which is located in the United States. People even became more interested in paranormal events after the series became successful. The two lead actors on this event were truly opposites since the male was addicted to pornography. The female character was more serious about certain issues.
