Zachary Quinto is gonna host the new ‘In search of’ on the History channel. Yay! ---

Hmm, interesting casting idea, for those few of us old enough to remember the original. But what I also remember of the original was Bermuda Triangle, and ESP, and other assorted woo. I hope for better from The History Channel. ---

Well, presumably they will debunk as much as examine. As viewers we are not as gullible as we used to be. I hope. ---

I don’t know who the host is but I loved In Search of when I was a kid. Yes, it’s was woo but it was super fun. I’ll give it try. ---

It wasn’t ALL supernatural/alien stuff, IIRC. They took on some true-crime stuff like Jonestown and the Lincoln assassination conspiracy, real-life archaeological/historical searches like the Titanic wreckage (which hadn’t been discovered at the time of airing), missing-person cases like Jimmy Hoffa, and other true-life things. ---

I haven’t seen but one ISO since they were new. I recently saw the one on the Lost Dutchman Mine (because of the AZ connection - it’s not that far away from where I live (if it even exists)). It was totally incorrect and full of bogosities. They tried to tie the “mystery” in with some Native American mysticism. Were they all that bad? (probably) ---

Fans of Quinto might want to check out _Who We Are Now_. He does a very good job in a modest role. Check out my [review](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21086430&postcount=725) in the “recent movies” thread.
