===Spike TV (2008β2010)=== According to ''[[Broadcasting & Cable]]'', in 2007, [[HBO|HBO Distribution]] announced plans to bring back ''Unsolved Mysteries'' when the cable channel [[Lifetime Television|Lifetime]]'s contract expired in 2008. The show featured a new set, a new logo, new music, and updates on old cases. In addition, actor [[Dennis Farina]] became the new host, as Stack had died five years earlier. The show debuted on [[Spike (TV channel)|Spike]] on October 13, 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sitcomsonline.com/blog/2008/06/married-with-children-comes-to-tbs-this.html |title=Married with Children Comes to TBS This Fall, In Addition to Spike TV; Spike TV Fall 2008 Update |publisher=Sitcomsonline.com |date=June 24, 2008 |access-date=2012-11-13}}</ref> This repackaged series run was criticized by fans for its presentation of past cases only, with no new case segments being produced. The existing segments were also edited to be shorter so the show could be expanded to present five cases in an hour rather than the four of the original series. Because the majority of the cases were now between 20 and 40 years old, the re-edited segments usually did not reference the years in which the events presented originally occurred. When updates for solved cases aired, Dennis Farina's voiceover would refer to cases "in a recent broadcast...", when the case may have already been solved during the show's original run or during the series' hiatus from 2002 onward. ''Unsolved Mysteries'' ended its run on Spike on April 27, 2010.
