Good old Nimoy! I loved that freaky show back in the 70's.

Lots of people have fond memories of being creeped out by "In Search Of.." It's good stuff

Hello, I'm Leonard Nimoy. The following tale of alien encounters is true, and by true I mean false. It's all lies, but they're entertaining lies, and in the end isn't that the real truth? The answer...is "no"

I think it would have been better if he were holding a crystal skull instead since, bigfoot is already in the background.Β Still, this is cool and I loved that show.Β

If any mystery is synonymous with "In Search Of.." it's Bigfoot

Great portrait as usual!Β Still . . . I watched all the (supposedly) true strange phenomena shows and movies I could, from One Step Beyond to Unsolved Mysteries.Β Heck, I caught most of those "Sunn Classic Films" in the '70s -- but I've never seen one second of In Search Of . . .

Sometimes I've found episodes posted on YouTube.

The History Channel is doing a new version of "In Search Of..." and I believe it's coming out in July.Β Β

Yes, I saw an ad on TV. Not sure about it right now, but you never know....Β

I'm willing to check out a few episodes and give it a chance.Β Β

There will be no otherworldly mood music from a synthesizer, to be sure! But the remake might turn out to be good.Β

Agreed. I'm ready to give it a chance.Β Β

I loved this show growing up, I've heard they're doing a new one.

The Nimoy original is the best, of course. They did a revival some years ago with Mitch Pileggi as the host.

Β On a more serious note, Mr Leonard Nimoy would have made a marvellous casting choice for a paranormal investigator in a Horror Movie - the local Ven Helsing, if you will!Β Β

Yeah, he was really rocking that groovy TV detective look in many episodes.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Β Though that begs the question, which was MORE rocking - the actor or the outfit?Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Definitely the actor, as many of the outfits of the period were redolent of carpeting and old furniture coverings.Β

Β That's an insult to rug-weavers and whole generations of Interior Designers!Β Β

Nimoy's presenter wardrobe wasn't as bad as that for Herb Tarleck of WKRP, but there were a few offenders of distinction!

Β At least they had a perfectly good excuse for their sartorial follies ... at least until the 1970s ended!Β

When the show hit the Eighties Nimoy went more to "hip TV professor" style of outfit, which was some sort of improvement.Β

Β I'd make a joke about the Seventies being the only decade Eighties fashions could possibly improve upon, but that would only be as cruel as it is mischievous!Β Β

Nimoy is good in anything

I think he would fit right into that sort of profile, maybe even in the Lovecraft mythos. He could play one of the characters in his stories like Herbert West or the narrator of Whisperer in Darkness.Β

Β "Where's he going with that thing?"
Β "You don't want to know"
Β "That's right, vhat you really vant to know is vhere that FOOT goes!"

Another tv kid memory. I remember being freaked out by the vampire/dracula one when the old man staked that kid in his bed. Later on I saw that they clipped scenes from George Romero's Martin.

It's a no-nonsense show, for the time it was being produced.

Bigfoot scared me, I thought he lived behind every collection of trees that I couldn't see through! Now I wish the big guy luck in evading us sick humans!

The Bigfoot & Yeti episodes were some of the best ones, no doubt! Yeah I was certain Bigfoot lived down in the woods at the bottom of the hill where my childhood home was located. Went back to visit some years ago and the entirety of it had been uprooted for a subdivision. So yeah, I understand what you mean about the Big Guy staying far away from us!Β

I think Bigfoot might be a modern variation of the ancestral memory we Homo sapiens had of encounters with the other human strains from the Paleolithic eras. Bigfoot will never Die!

It seems Bigfoot will forever outsmart us -and that's for the best, methinks.

Im rooting for him thats for sure! If I saw him I wouldn't tell anyone, just give him a nod and thumbs up.
π: 0 β©: 1
What would you do if he gave you a thumbs up back?

It would give me hope and a really cool story to tell only a trusted few.

He always approached the subject logically.
π: 1 β©: 1
Of course he did

I love the way they are just looking at him like that
π: 0 β©: 1
Of course they are. It's Leonard freaking Nimoy
π: 0 β©: 0
I bet he was the closest to finding them all too, too funny
π: 0 β©: 1
He certainly wasn't less successful than "Finding Bigfoot", and similar shows.

I'm compelled to try and find episodes of this. It sounds kinda interesting.

As it so happens.... A series of TV specials about UFOs, alien contact, and cryptid creatures were made in the early-mid Seventies, and were popular enough that a TV show was pitched. Nimoy got picked to be the host, no doubt with an eye towards an audience and it ran for several seasons! My favorite site has the entire run of broadcast episodes and the initial TV specials.Β
