Mysteries of the Unknown

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!

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?

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.

Over time, while watching episodes of these programs under various titles such as "Mysteries at the Museum" etc, I have noticed many, many inaccuracies. A prime example is an episode aired April 4, 2020 on the attempt by Swedish engineer, Salmon Andree to reach the North Pole by balloon. This episode represented Mr. Andre as having made his attempt by hot-air balloon, when in fact, he used hydrogen. I have also noticed that costumes supposedly representing a particular era are not of that era at all. I have seen episodes in which soldiers were armed with muskets when in fact they should have had rifles. If we cannot trust the accuracy of these details, how are we supposed to believe the accuracy of anything represented in this series.

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.
