Mysteries of the Unknown

An interesting selection of historical or quasi-historical episodes. However, every time I see the simulation of an event and US Civil War officers are wearing 20th century shoulder boards from the US Navy or WWII combatants are carrying muskets, I have to wonder just how small is the costuming budget for this show. And . . . Please get an actual paleontologist involved or at least somebody who knows the difference between a trilobite and a brachiopod.

I love watching the show. It is really interesting, but why the music? Why do we need the music? It detracts from the narrative and is so loud that it is sometimes impossible to actually HEAR the narrative! Please, ditch the music! Don Wildmon has a great voice for telling of the rare, the unusual, and things of historical significance but it is almost impossible to hear what he is saying because of the stupid music!

I especially enjoy tales from the Old South and the beginnings of our nation.... I really prefer "mysteries" from around our own country . If only the music wasn't SO LOUD! So, please, let's just hear the stories- Ditch the music!

There was "Mysteries at the Museum" and now "Mysteries of the Unknown". Different names, same format. I found the original series interesting, but also noted "inaccuracies" in some of the offered segments that I had some familiarity with. An "oddity" from a WW-II segment in the earlier series has stuck in my mind. It's a picture of a group of helmeted soldiers aiming flintlock rifles. Whatta hoot. I assume the series developers inserted that "Easter Egg" picture as a joke. I DO find the episodes interesting and enjoyable to watch most of the time.

We would really enjoy Mysteries of the unknown. But the background music or NOISE is WAY TOO LOUD. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM. ASAP!!!! Why do we always continue to have this issue?

This happens many times. Just watched the episode about the Lost Battalion (Season 2, Episode 25). Whittlesey was a MAJOR. The person portraying him not only had a dress uniform on, which would not be worn in the combat situation but had the eagles of a full bird colonel on his shoulders. This kind of stuff happens ALL THE TIME when this show portrays U. S. Military personnel. Please do some better research. I would think that you could get correct info just by doing a little better research. Makes me wonder about the correctness of other things. We enjoy the show but these kinds of mistakes take away from it.
