Rina99 August 8, 2014 Share August 8, 2014 As interesting as all this sounds, I have no idea what you guys' beef with Cyberstalkers actually is and I'd like to know before I watch it. Would you care to elaborate a bit? Because aside from disgust I have no idea what you are talking about. :) As AKraven said, it was 100% reenactments. BAD reenactments. No police officials giving details on the case, no mockable moderator to expound on things, not even a real-life investigator to give us background, just really bad actors for the entire show*. And look, I am not above this sort of thing, but the entire presentation was just terrible, and bad enough that I couldn't even get any laughs from it. *It could have gotten better, I bailed right after making my post. 1 Link to comment

Co-sign on the ditto on the thumbs-up for NtH. Very good reenactments (relatively speaking) and Steve Rambam doesn't seem to have the cheese/ creep factor going on.And yes, Cyberstalkers is garbage. 2 Link to comment

friendperidot August 10, 2014 Share August 10, 2014 I watched Nowhere to Hide for the first time today. Liked it, the show was about the serial con-woman and all I could think during it was that she is so, so bipolar. Batshit crazy bipolar. Have a couple of family members that crazy bipolar. And I could almost see one of them being this way, but they are not sophisticated enough to con doctors or lawyers or anyone with money. 1 Link to comment
RubyWoo72 August 10, 2014 Share August 10, 2014 I'm heartbroken about Heart Breakers. The tag line was something like, " All your teen heart throbs are back!" But every last one of those fuckers looks old as hell. Which means, of course, that *I* am also old as hell. What happened to Tracy Gold? I was looking to see if that was, like, Old Lady makeup on her, but I don't think so. And Judd Nelson? ::shudder:: 2 Link to comment

walnutqueen August 12, 2014 Share August 12, 2014 (edited) ID Channel just saved me a bundle in late fees - I kid you not. I got a call from my vet's office asking about an unpaid balance (yes, I have become a scatterbrain in my dotage) and was talking to my favorite receptionist to straighten out the accumulating late fees when we got sidetracked into a discussion about true crime, ID, Kenda and I Survived. I have known and loved this girl for years, and never knew she was an avid fan!!! Once we were done swapping squees of delighted camaraderie, she insisted the draconian monthly penalties should not apply to an addled old crone like me who never changes purses (another discussion we shared) and finds an old bill among the purse boogers when she's digging for loose change. Also, my tips for a purse ulu, car console hatchet and recliner machete impressed her. :-) ETA - I forgot to mention how we got to the ID Channel subject in the first place: she asked about my one remaining cat, who was a delightful little purse kitten back in the day, and I said he's getting so fucking big he wouldn't fit folded into a suitcase like a dead body ... ;-) Edited August 12, 2014 by walnutqueen 7 Link to comment
RubyWoo72 August 12, 2014 Share August 12, 2014 (edited) @walnutqueen, I hate to break it down to ya, but the vet lady didn't defer your late fees because she's a sweet, magnanimous angel; she did it because she now knows you are well-versed in methods of cyberstalking, murder and their subsequent cover-ups. She doesn't wanna end up on Deadly Women or Disappeared. And I don't blame her. Plus, being savvy enough to give tips on how to hide sharp objects in your purse and shit? She'll probably waive the rest of your balances from here on out--I certainly would. Smart woman, that receptionist. Edited August 12, 2014 by RubyWoo72 6 Link to comment

fliptopbox August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 I've been on a Deadly Women kick. What is up with that former FBI lady and that awful wig? I mean, they're not fooling anyone with that terrible thing. It's not disguising anything. Also, I can deal with the horrible reenactments, but I do like when some of the shows will at least provide a photo of the real perp or victim. I can get past the lame acting for some of the crime stories. Some of em are pretty brutal, but I do wonder how many of them are totally true. Link to comment
Taylorh2 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 I recently saw Candice without that horrible wig on.(new episode ?) She looked really good with her natural hair. It was styled very pretty. 1 Link to comment
cbetsky August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 That Khalood woman was indeed insufferable. Did she actually ever take any responsibility for spending that money, or ever express any real remorse - other than for what might happen to her once her husband found out? No, she went to the casino because she was depressed, she was upset, she didn't like her son-in-law, all her friends' daughters were having babieeeeees, boo freaking hoo. So, apparently it wasn't her fault. Did she ever tell her husband that she was sorry that he wasn't going to be able to retire as soon as he wanted to? I don't think I could have been as even-keeled as he seemed to be about it; unless he's making other plans and we're going to be seeing him on a future episode as a perp . . . 3 Link to comment

roamyn August 19, 2014 Share August 19, 2014 I didn't see it, applecrsp, but I've known abt the story for years. They truly were evil. And in everything I've ever read, it appears Kate was the mastermind with maybe some influence from the father. The brother seemed like the dull-witted muscle. The mother always seems to be an afterthought in the articles/stories. 2 Link to comment
walnutqueen August 19, 2014 Share August 19, 2014 Yeah, I saw the Bender family episode. They were a real hoot. Yeeech. On Bloodlands they covered a twenty-something old murder of three men on ATVs in Tennessee and it was the weirdest feeling to know that I saw that same murder profiled on Unsolved Mysteries back in 1990 (referenced in this episode too!) and always wondered what happened. Now I know. It took a gazillion years and a whole different TV show, but now I know. Life is like that sometimes. I watched both shows. The Bloodlands one was chilling; very cool that you remember the original case on Unsolved Mysteries, Andyourlittledog2. Those signs saying "Trespassers Will Be Shot" really do go to some nutjobs' heads, don't they? 2 Link to comment
BuddhaBelly August 20, 2014 Share August 20, 2014 Heartbreakers is my new crack. I can't get over seeing some of these actors in their roles. I know I'm supposed to be horrified by the crime, and I usually am, but there's something so 80s cheesetastic that just gets to me. 3 Link to comment

Rina99 August 21, 2014 Share August 21, 2014 (edited) Jack Wagner gave me life in tonight's Heartbreakers episode. Rob Estes and Jamie Lunar were great as well. I enjoyed the show last week, but in this one the actors just really seemed to hit the right note of over-the-top ridiculousness. This was actually a familiar story for me, but hey, Jack Wagner made it well worth watching again. Edited August 21, 2014 by Rina99 2 Link to comment

applecrisp August 21, 2014 Share August 21, 2014 Fliptopbox, I have seen the Lobster boy story many times and this is the first I have heard about him murdering the boy friend. Usually they talk about the video found of him wrestling with his family-- he was a bully and a TV station got the sound to it and changed the story. Grady became sympathetic. He was handicapped but also very strong. Sad. The Benders were really scary and were never caught. They vanished. Never had to pay for their crimes. So far I am liking Evil Kin. Walnut Queen,(Did you like the countdown to Kenda?) i too will be watching Heartbreakers. What can I say, I like Lifetime. 2 Link to comment
RubyWoo72 August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 Does anyone remember the show that featured murder cases but it was fairly well-acted (which should narrow the possibilities down dramatically) and at closing credits, the actors would hold up a portrait of the real-life person they played? It used to run on ABC for a little while before coming to ID. One of the episodes featured a man who'd killed and dismembered his girlfriend in post - Katrina New Orleans... 2 Link to comment

It's still a pretty rural area, though money is starting to creep in (outside of the Signal Mtn city limits). Frank Casteel's son is still claiming his dad was framed, to little fanfare.

slensam August 31, 2014 Share August 31, 2014 Deadly Affairs is ridiculous. I just can't watch these shows. I just can't. For every six programs they put out maybe two of them are okay. Murder in Paradise is pretty good and that's sandwiched amongst the other stuff. I see some of the commercials and I just want to barf. There's something coming on next week; I believe it's called Young, Hot and Crooked or Sinful or Whatever. Are they aiming for seventeen-year olds? Kind of have the feeling that they're not watching this channel on a Friday night. 4 Link to comment

walnutqueen September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 I freakin' LOVED A Crime to Remember, Suz! And yes, More, please. I tried watching that Heartbreakers show, I really did - but it was just too awful, even with my tongue firmly ensconced in my cheek. I think I may just be too old to wax nostalgic about the 80s, 90s, or whatever decade ... :-) On the bright side, I managed to incorporate some true crime silliness into a dream I had ... I met up with some guys I knew (but didn't; how it goes in a crazy dream), and one of them introduced me to his mother - who mentioned it was the anniversary of her daughter's murder. I made the appropriate noises of caring & concern, but even in my dream, I was shitting myself in anticipation of coming on to this forum and sharing that delectable tidbit with y'all. I am thoroughly corrupted. :-) 3 Link to comment
auntjess September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 You are just an evil person! And I know what you mean for nostalgia for times not really very distant.There's a Facebook page for old times in my place of birth, and people post 80s and 90s pictures. 2 Link to comment
