Learning About Old Mystery TV Shows

By Christa Jarvis


Human beings living in the 70's and 80's had the opportunity to watch the best programs that were readily available. The old mystery tv shows were always entertaining and many of them were often featured during the night hours. "Miss Marple, " "The X-Files, " "Josie And The Pussycats, " "Scooby-Doo, " "Unsolved Mysteries" and many more were viewed by the average American person.

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.

After she died another woman took over the role but she was not as good as Ms. Hickson. Miss Marple was always solving strange mysteries each week and sometimes she even placed her own life in danger. This older character would receive great assistance from the police inspector who worked for Scotland Yard.

"Unsolved Mysteries" really focused on true life crime stories which happened across the globe. Sometimes these cases were national and on other occasions they were international. The police were able to obtain many of the murderers and rapists because of this television show. An actor named Robert Stack hosted the series for its entire run.

"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.

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.

People who liked to be scared easily would find themselves watching a program called "The X-Files." Many supernatural events happened within the show each and every week. On one episode a woman was married to a demonic male who could change his form at any time.

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.
