'''''In Search of...''''' is an American television series that was broadcast weekly from 1976 to 1982, devoted to mysterious phenomena. It was created after the success of three one-hour documentaries produced by creator [[Alan Landsburg]]: ''In Search of Ancient Astronauts'' in 1973 (based on the 1968 book/ 1970 film ''[[Chariots of the Gods?]]'' by [[Erich von Däniken]]), ''In Search of Ancient Mysteries'' (1974), and ''[[The Outer Space Connection]]'' in 1975 (later adapted into popular paperbacks written by Landsburg), all of which featured narration by [[Rod Serling]], who was the initial choice to host the spin-off show. Serling died before production started, and [[Leonard Nimoy]] was then selected to be the host.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3334003/r-p-leonard-nimoy-passes-away-age-83/|title=R.I.P.
