Has Mysteries At the Museum been canceled? I can't find it on my TV (guide), and I have LOOKED extensively! This is the same format as Mysteries at the Museum with the ever excellent (and ruggedly handsome) Don Wildman providing the informative narration. The same style of reenactments by actors illustrate the stories but there seems to be more of still photography than scene reenacted, and more of people sitting in a chair being interviewed. However, and the main reason why I started watching this (with no offense meant to Wildman) is the gorgeous cinematography lighting the actors. It really drew me in as it provides excellence in photography, very rare since we hit the 2000's. Yep, for the past 20 years, there has been a drought of beauty on TV, particularly when it comes to lighting, I have no idea who the cinematographer is, but my thanks to them for creating this gorgeous look here.
As Mysteries at the Museum sadly seems to have disappeared from the Travel Channel in favor of miscellaneous moronic ghost-hunting shows for brain-dead pot-smokers without an ounce of discernment, this rare educational program, intended exclusively for intelligent audiences with a thirst for knowledge, appears to be the next best replacement show. It is unclear if the original show has been canceled. I miss the early Sunday mornings, way before the crack of dawn, watching those MATM marathons. I ho;pe they will make more. I just found this, it's almost 3 am, and there's a few back to back. I'll try to stay awake as long as I can. I love Halloween as much as the next guy, but it's truly a pity that the Travel Channel has gone the route of History Channel: they are obsessed with such nonsense as UFOs and the Travel Channel is hellbent on giving them a run for their money with ghosts galore and Big Foot idiotic TV shows. Oh well. We'll always have Don WIlman and the gorgeous cinematography of these 2 educational TV shows, the only series I watch faithfully since the end of the Golden Age of Television. (read: 80's). I wouldn't mind if Wildman lingered a bit longer onscreen as he's very easy on the eyes. My thanks to the unknown cinematographer and Don Wildman for creating this rare quality television, and Travel Channel? Boo to you, for catering to dumb millennials with your mind-numbing and never-ending ghost-fest!
