IN SEARCH OF...
From 1976 to 1982 a pseudo documentary ran on syndicated television series enthralling people like my Pop and Uncles. It was called IN SEARCH OF... and tried to be an actual documentary.
The subjects of this documentary were Extraterrestrials, Magic & Witchcraft, Missing Persons, Myths & Monsters, Lost Civilizations, and Strange Phenomena. In short, everything that interests fans of Horror, Thriller, Mystery, and Suspense.
After the Coming attractions teaser of the show, Series Producer Robert L. Long as well as Executive Producers Jim McGinn and Alan Landsburg (the show creator), gave everyone a caveat.
"This series presents information based in part on theory and conjecture. The producers purpose is to suggest some possible explanation, but not necessarily the only ones to the mysteries we will examine."
The growing Star Trek fan base was brought in by host, Leonard Nimoy.

ROBOPOCALYPSE IS DEAD!
Daniel H. Wilson's fun and whacked-out crazy, science fiction novel, is alive and well and bestselling, thank you very much! But like the fate that befalls many a troubled robot or production, the Stephen Speilberg movie is flat out dead!
Continued at TheWrap.
OR IS IT?
Everybody loves a good come-back story and Horror Thriller fans are especially fond of the kind of come-back stories that features zombies and vampires.
But the debacle over ROBOPOCALYPSE has none of those. It has robots.
With a screenplay penned by Drew Goddard (CLOVERFIELD, CABIN IN THE WOODS) and with Chris Hemsworth (A PERFECT GETAWAY, THOR, CABIN IN THE WOODS) and Ann Hathaway (Tim Burton's ALICE IN WONDERLAND, THE DARK KNIGGET RISES) in the main roles, maybe this death knell was premature?
Maybe? Huh? Morning Spoilers over at Io9 thinks so, and the link to their report is loaded with, y'know, spoilers, on other movies as well. So tread lightly.
